I like how this is sweet and melancholic all at the same time.

Very touching, and how perfect that both John and Sherlock are Gorey fans. (And sheesh, choose the scariest of the Tinies for the book to open to...) ;-)

[arwen_kenobi]

I thought it made sense for both of them to have the appreciation all things considering. And of course the book would open to that. (It has nothing to do with my first name, nothing at all.... :P). Thanks!

[methylviolet10b]

Nope, that couldn't possibly have anything to do with it. ;-) And yay for having a name that appears in the Tinies!

Sweet and funny and so lovely. Very well done!
