NO

YOU

I EXPRESSLY TOLD YOUI’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. I'm going to possess you and it's going to destroy every inch of happiness you ever thought you knew. You think you can get away with writing that shit for me on the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life (and not even in the sexual way). You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not ( ... )

I love how unnerving this is. I can feel Sherlock's hollowness and sense of...giving up, really. And John just scares me. I'm not really sure where John ends and the demon begins, and I have the feeling that's exactly what you were going for. So. Props to you man, for making me all teary-eyed. Which you've done before. ....And yet I keep coming back for more. Why why why.

Also, the mousetrap bit? I'm not sure if you meant for that to be an amazing metaphor, but it is one. A+

klsklalsklf thank you so much! <3333 i totally didn't even think about the mousetrap as a metaphor haha--but that's about how all of my experience with my own fic goes--people point stuff out because they're about 9000000% more observant than i am and i get to feel clever for taking credit for other people's intelligence. :DDD

haha thank you so much! <33 i think this is the end of the road for this particular fic but i like keep all the universes i write pretty open ended in case i ever want to play in them again. i can't imagine a happy ending for this verse though--my headcanon says that the demon will ultimately win. good thing there's plenty of fantastic happy fic in this fandom~ :D

Oh my. This is so bleak and depressing with the resignation Sherlock seems to imbue. It just stings to know that John is still in there but Sherlock is beyond rescuing him because of how emotionally exhausted he is and the fear of losing even the shell of John if John came back.

Also I don't know if I was reading to much into it but I almost got the impression that the demon could be Moriarty (especially when he uttered 'You owe me').

you hit the nail exactly on the head~ i actually wanted to write some fluff after this fic because i got a little sad but then i got lazy so

also omg i never thought about that but what if moriarty died and became a demon and came back to fuck with sherlock some more because he figured out that sherlock faked his death and if moriarty doesn't win then NOBODY WINS AJKSFAKSD I COULD BUY IT. HEADCANON ACCEPTED.

ALSO THANK YOU BB <33333 :D
