Thanks! Mycroft is done with this shit.

Yeah, that would be really good advice for someone to have given him.

TENSION! Enjoyed Mycroft's conversation with John, the exasperation with others' ineptitude is so Holmes! And the big reveal of the villain was done so well! Really appreciated Molly's observations, her levelheadedness and her courage. I've got the pointy scissors, indeed!

Thank you!

I was leaning in towards the computer screen, really tense and kind of tingling at the edges, and then I read John's “Now against my better judgement, I’m going to run with these." I love John and I love you

Nonononono what a place to stop oh my god

I was going to have my first comment be a bit more coherent than this but fklsfgsdgs

Incoherent is good, too! It tells me I'm doing it right.

Loved the tense anticipation all through this chapter. When Moriarty kept asking about whether Sherlock would continue writing if he lost such and such I wanted to shake John and tell him to just say no. :P

Sadly, John was much to enthused for that.
