Thank you so much, truly; I'm thrilled, and flattered, that you think I'm doing Sherlock's voice some justice, here.

This is really pure artistry. The way you take these moments that are actually very brief and simple on the surface, and draw so much emotion and meaning out of them. Sherlock's obsession with John's heart and blood and pulse is mesmerising and a bit disturbing, but completely addictive. I love these.

Thank you, truly. When I set out to write these stories, I really wanted to try and capture the balance between obsession and adoration, between wonder and near-perversion, the dark and disturbing aspects of just what Sherlock is fixating on, and the fixation itself; so it's lovely to hear that those things are coming across thus far.

'because language will forever fail him, and he cannot, there are no ways to convey the depth of this'

^ this, in regards to expressing how amazing this series has been, especially this lovely nugget of poetic goodness. Absolutely, love. Thank you for writing :)

You are lovely for saying that; thank you.

I can't find the right words, for they never seem to fit or express my emotions, but seriously, this is, again, so wonderfully done and written. I love the intimacy and how breathless it left me (it really did), how I could hear the beat and see the colours and feel the thickness of blood. You are brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
