This is gorgeous, and I may have the soppiest grin in the history of ever on my face right now. Just--how is Holmes still so recognizably Holmes when he's peaceful and content? I didn't even know Holmes knew how to feel those things without cocaine or people shooting at him!

Everyone else has already said everything wonderful about this fic, and if I tried to quote my favourite bits I'd probably end up copy-pasting the whole fic. I will just sum this up by saying that you win the internets today. Plz to be letting me know where you want them delivered.

This was fantastic! I loved their interactions, the pacing of the story, and the sweetness at the end. Great work.

Man, I totally feel like Holmes now. I want to go outside. Seriously though, this movie Holmes wins over the idea of cannon Holmes in my head. You captured him so perfectly and so fun! And oh man, Holmes and Watson making muffins together....is as dirty a thought as it needs to be.
Awesome fic, great characterization.
