Oh, yes, yes. I love how you pull John's time in Afghanistan into this.

Thank you so much!

My head is spinning around from this, and not in the scary possessed child way. Amazing stuff, this is.

[hitlikehammers]

Thank you ever so much-and I'm glad there were no possessed children involved in your reaction ;)

Beautiful on so many levels. Go John Go! can't wait for more, please tell me there is more!
I judge the fan fiction Ive read mostly on the characterization of John and this is so what I see as John. Not to be underestimated. Again great stuff!

[hitlikehammers]

Thank you! I'm a firm believer that John is an incredibly strong, deeply layered and nuanced character, and as I've normally felt more camaraderie with Sherlock as a writer, I wasn't sure I could pull John off convincingly. The fact that you think he works here is so flattering.
