Fortius Quo Fidelius, part V

[charlotteyonge]

It was nearly two when I climbed the stairs to my room. I passed by Holmes’s door, which was slightly ajar, and saw there was a faint light coming from the hearth. I decided to check in on him.

“Holmes?” I rapped softly and pushed the door open. He was draped across the settee at the far end of the room, his dressing gown crumpled around him, his

THAT WAS AMAZING!!! I love this!!

[charlotteyonge]

THANKS!! :)

This was wonderful, and has put me in such a good mood.

I loved a jealous Watson, and the way that you re-imagined canon events, (and all of the hotness.)

I had an image of Watson, after returning from Surrey, wrapped in the amethyst afghan, drunk on wine, quaffing chocolates, and surrounded by flowers, and generally being completely loved up.

Thank you!

[charlotteyonge]

What a lovely image. He sure earned it, too!

Thanks for reading. I'm thrilled this put you in a good mood.

Oh, this was just glorious. Just....wow. Yes.

The idea of Watson receiving congratulatory gifts from all of Holmes' previous lovers made me snort aloud with laughter. Watson's 'well, this is nice. Ooo, look, expensive vodka...' & Holmes' annoyance were brilliant!

& I loved all the reference to the canon & how they slotted neatly around their developing relationship.

&, needless to say, the sex was HOT.

Lovely. Thanks for posting this.

Oh, thanks! That means a lot coming from someone who re-imagines her own canon stories so well. And the fact that this made you laugh is just icing on the cake that Watson also probably received from some Austrian prince. :)

Gah. This was awesome. You totally just--pounded on one of my personal favorite H/W plotlines, which is "Dashing suitor loves Watson and makes Holmes STUPID jealous" along with a perfect peppering of angst on top of a big hunk of awesome awesome explicit entertainment. I clutched my pearls more than once! :P This was awesome though. I also like that EVERY SINGLE ONE of my "Hmm, that doesn't seem quite right..." doubts basically were answered. (Esp as to why Watson would write his friend as being basically heartless, ff, that was awesome)

Totally fulfilling. Awesome. Also I like the twist on the "hiatus" at the end. X3

[charlotteyonge]

Well, now you've made me laugh with "STUPID jealous." That just resonates really humorously. Actually, your whole comment is pretty amusing, and I'm pleased this was a pearl-clutcher for you.

Of course, you're welcome back here anytime. ;)

::jumps up and down in joy::

You broke my heart and made me cry halfway though (retribution for this will be swift and efficient), but by the end I was laughing with pure happiness.

Sex God!Holmes is my new favourite. Him and his box of paraphernalia. Also every dignitary in Europe. Of course.

Colonel Hayter was adorable and I am choosing to imagine that he settled down with a nice young invert who also happened to be spectacular in the bedroom.

The bit I loved most, I think, is the sitting room being turned into a museum of Holmes' sexual conquests.

The last bit is perfect.

Basically I love it all. I haven't read a canon fic this good in ages (actually, let's upgrade that to 'I haven't read a fic from any interpretation this good in a very long time').

Omigod omigod omigod! One of my favorite fic writers read AND commented on my story! Talk about a daymaker!

Seriously, this means a great to deal me. It means I will sit down again one day soon and have the bravery to try and outdo this, as soon as new visions of H/W start dancing in my head again. They usually don't take too long.

Oh yeah: P.S. And two months later, Colonel Hayter hired a strapping young gardener who shared his master's tastes and the two of them lived happily and sexily ever after. The end. :D
