I'm fairly sure of the last line with my really lame and dusty High School French, but would you mind translating just so I can be sure?
(It's alright, my dear, what's a little death between friends?) Oui? Non?

This was an interesting study on an idea, intriguing and well written. Nice job.

*ding!* Yes, that is exactly the last line -- I think. I know zero French and had to have my boyfriend translate.

[random_nexus]

Woot! Aced the test! ;p

Merci!

...I think you've introduced me to a new kind of crack!fic. This was seriously very hot. And the end, where Holmes could only speak in French? Only adds to the hotness. I know the next time I watch the movie I'll be seeing it a bit differently now. Wow!

[sanguineheroine]

There it is - a hint of that marvellous word play!

“Mon cher, ce qui est une petite mort entre les amis?”

This was equal parts creepy and smokin'. Nice job.

I just got that your icon is Holmes smoking in front of a no smoking sign. Classic.

Also, equal parts creepy and smokin'?! *facepalms* Story of my life!

[sanguineheroine]

Hey, look, at least the creepy and smokin' are still in balance... It's all ok.

The Greek Interpreter was the first Granada ep that I saw, and this scene made me laugh so hard I nearly died.

Guh. :D Absolutely loverly fic here. Like everyone else seems to, I adore the last line.

Just curious if you're aware of the idiomatic meaning of "petite mort"? As a literal translation it works fairly well, but the French idiom adds a whole new level to it that I find quite delicious. :D Well done either way!

[lovelyolives]

Ah, I see, petite morte.

Spelling? Spelling! Yay! Spelling.
