oh wow. rarely has such a positive sentence 'he's cured' sounded so ominously negative. I love how you resolved the tension from the previous chapter and there were some lovely hot sweaty moments before John gets it all completely wrong of course. I love how John's interpretation is plausible but you can also see how poor Sherlock is just acting like someone who fancies someone else without any motives other than more sex and affection - lines like this "Sherlock won’t stop looking at him as if John’s presence in his flat is an accomplishment" make me want to slap John upside the head and give Sherlock a cuddle. Of course maybe John IS right - gah! Looking forward to the next part extremely much.

edited to add: this is my third visit back to this chapter today. I feel like I did at the end of TRF. What have you done to me, you amazing writer you? can't. stop. thinking. about. it. Ok, off to wait patiently now for the next part.

Even though we have a main character here with PTSD, depression and trust issues, it's still up in the air a bit, isn't it? At least, that's definitely what I was going for. Thanks!

More to come soon.

There is always a part in your fiction where it gets positively painful to read --- I thought the ending of Chapter 4 was tough, but good grief, this KILLS!!!! And yet, I feel certain things are going to get worse before they get better....oh well, at least I'm leaving town for the long weekend, that will help me not constantly keep checking back for updates.

By the way, are you still working on anything else from the 'World on His Wrist' series? Not trying to be greedy....I just love that universe so much.

Thanks!

I'm always working on way too many things at once. It's not going to happen soon.

So, it goes without saying I need the next part.

I also loved this:

"Only them, and skin, and the absolute torture that comes of a beautiful man saying beautiful things to a man who sorely wants to believe them."

Gotcha.

Thanks. I did a bunch of tinkering with that line.

Oh, the angst. AND THE SEX. Mustn't forget the sex.

Sorry I haven't anything coherent to say. You are awesome. <3

Both, really. Angsty sex. Sexy angst. It just does that, I can't stop it.
