Lovely. I could see this happening.

Thanks for writing!

Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked it and thought it was realistic.

Wow, this is really well done.

Thank you! Woot! A Holmes-friend reading my latest obsession fandom, Criminal Minds. I, sadly, have lost some of my passion for Holmes fic right now (although I really, really have to finish my WWI era fic that I've left hanging for far too long now). I'm thrilled you read this and commented.

Yes. Yes, you do. ;-)

Love this fic, btw. I am a CM non-obsessive fan -- so I'm not all that well versed on the cases, but LOVES the characters. :-)

I really like how the story played out in a series of moments. It worked really well! I also love how Spencer called Aaron out on his bullshit :)

Thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the little stream of conciousness snippets that told the story.

It seems I've developed a kink for Confident!Reid calling Aaron out (as also evidenced in my "Five Dinners" fic when Spencer lectures Aaron about not being a super-hero after Haley's funeral (and after Aaron had dumped him)). I think that's why "Uncanny Valley" is one of my favorite episodes, because Confident!Reid is damn hot.

Thank you! Glad you thought Aaron's feelings were realistic. And Confident!Reid kind of rocks. So glad you liked it.

This is so beautiful. I particularly love how small each section is...it divides up the story but it also makes the flow easier. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you. I just had these little stream of conciousness snippets that flowed out to tell the story. Glad you enjoyed it.
