I'm really enjoying this, and did I say the same thing last time too? Never mind, it's true! Thank you :)

Hahahahhaa why hello there, my creative process. There's something about seeing somebody else going I HATE EVERY WORD IT'S STUPID that's strangely reassuring.

I don't know how you make such little things like touching arms and wrists so intimate. Man, that scene. Surely John will start picking up on all of this soon. I do not know how the Vernet/Sherlock situation will resolve but I am loving every second of it.

XD This is how I've always seen it in play. Mars and I were often writing at the same time over gchat, so I got to observe this panic from both sides during the course of writing.

Touching at all is such an intimate thing. Seriously, we don't touch. Casual permission to touch and be touch is something incredible.

Ooo, you made (got?) a picture. Dramatic, and John seems to be quite swept away. Cute to see Sherlock going so crazy that John won't come see him that he's got to stir the cops up in person. If Sherlock's Vernet, of course. Thanks for another chapter.

Well, they could be the same, but then all the work to make John think Vernet is a criminal is transparent: Sherlock has had an alibi from the start. So I'm keeping my opinions open.

Got a picture. PrettyArbitrary made that for me back in October or so. Thanks!

Because Art is a perfectly good reason.
