You really did tap into that dangerous, chaotic whimsy <3 Kind of chilling, the globe-spinning bit...

Ooo! I'm so glad you picked up on that! It seemed so indicative of the way Moriarty views the world - as one blurry mess...

This is fantastic. I love the theatrical allusions, like there isn't really a division where he stops and the show begins.

Really glad you liked it! I think there's so much of the showman in Moriarty - he's fascinated by appearences and the sheer _drama_ of everything. Why else would you have a criminal gang who leave black roses?

Thank you so much for commenting!

Awww...Thanks so much!

It's been such a _long_ time since I posted any fic, it feel like I'm starting all over again so I really appreciate the love! I really enjoyed coming up with the twisted Moriarty aphorisms - he has such a skewed take on the world...

Loved this! Very creepy and real-sounding look at Moriarty, especially with lines like "The way to a man's heart is through other people's stomachs".

Thank you so much! Really glad you liked it!

I confess, that phrase was one of my favourites...

All the nice girls love a sadist.

Your one-liners hit home beautifully. Moriarty is just wrong, wrong, wrong, but in a brilliant sort of way. This may be your best work yet <3

Honey, you say the _nicest_ things! This one was written for you actually - I'll stick the dedication on it when I crosspost. You gave me the idea when you said you hadn't read a good Moriarty voice yet, and then when I read your Dark Knight stuff it all came to me as to how to do it. I'm so glad you like it!

You can rest assured I only say them when I absolutely mean them.
