I'm so happy you like it! You were so lovely and supportive when I posted my first stories and I've been glad to write one for you. I'm especially happy to see you love some of my favourite bits like "Home is John", "Until John", '"Am I, then?" he asks. [...] "Yours. Am I, really?"' or "You are Sherlock. I am John. And I love you".

Everything else sounds imperious but that one sentence, that there sounds….rude.At this point the guy just wants to get rid of this tiresome and insignificant little man. Ha! He didn't met BAMF-and-even-BAMFer-when-in-love!John and his Mighty Celeriac yet

My mind goes a little blank. "I think I need to sit down."

I know how you feel, John - I felt much the same way as I got partway into this story! Oh, Choco, you never cease to blow my mind, and this one has just about exploded it to bits. How did you get to be such a brilliant writer so quickly?!

I'm defending my beloved against two aliens with the help of a celeriac.

There was so much giggling that my work colleague looked across to me but then must have recognised the "I'm reading fanfic" expression on my face and didn't even bother to ask. Which is just as well, cos it would have taken some explaining.

You are a proper genius, sweetie. I'm so proud!

*nonchalantly pushes her hair back over her shoulder*
What can I say? I think this kind of thing is innate, you see. :D Also, I learnt from the best. ;-)

Thank you very much! You didn't even have to nudge me or anything this time. And I love your icon. :D

I am so glad that you overlooked my dodgy grammar and gave me first dibs on this lovely story!

It must already be clear from the plethora of squealy notes on the draft I sent back to you how much I adore this, but it bears repeating: I adore this :D

It's a fantastic combination of the sublime:

"For the first time I see, because for the first time he lets me see."

and the delightfully ridiculous:

I'm defending my beloved against two aliens with the help of a celeriac.... I'm still chortling over that one!

I applaud you for taking up what would seem a virtually impossible challenge, and for creating something so absolutely marvellous with it.

Keep writing! (And no, that's not a 'suggestion'!)

[chocolamousse]

No, I'm so glad you agreed to deal with it, oh my very lovely and very patient (and very quick!) beta! :-)

Yes, keep on saying you adore it, it's... fine. I think I'm going to adopt your words to introduce myself: "Hi, I'm Chocolamousse. My writing? Well, I guess you could say it's a fantastic combination of the sublime and the delightfully ridiculous. The key-words are obviously 'sublime' and 'delightfully'". :D

Keep writing! (And no, that's not a 'suggestion'!)
I can't even see what it can be if it's not a gentle plea. *coughs* Hey, put this cudgel down! :D

Thank you again for your invaluable help!

Oh my... Aliens! And celery! And fluff, lots of fluff! I can't believe you went there and succeeded! This is wonderful and the three wonderful ladies that commented before me have told you all the reasons why. I realy love it.

But I must say that Ari is not right (sorry!). It's not so quickly. You have been an amazing writer since so many beautiful comments I've read for months, years? This is simply a little bit longer.

[chocolamousse]

Yes, fluff galore! You can't say I broke your heart this time. :-)

Thank you very much, you're lovely! I'm glad you like this story too. Also, you're right: this fic is just a little bit longer than my usual comments. :D

[imaginecoolname]

Oh, this was absolutely lovely! It was hilarious and tender and BAMFy and cute and just all about wonderful. I squeed a lot. *nods* Thank you for this amazing use of aliens and celery, or uhm celeriac, pardon me. :) Great job.

[chocolamousse]

Yes, "celeriac". It's IMPORTANT. Just try to scare an alien with a stick of celery. :D Thank you for your kind words and your squee. I love it when I make a reader squee. :D
