Beautifully neat solution, and Sherlock would be so proud of John for deducing so much so swiftly from that one look (not that he'll tell him).

We need these moments, because/despite the fact they'll be heart-stopping.

Thank you - I thought so myself :)

We do, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I'm hopeless at commenting on fic's I never know what to say, so I'm just going to say that was well written, and poignant, and I loved it.

[queerlyobscure]

That was most eloquent, actually, and thank you very much :)

Lovely, a nice little speculation on Sherlock's feelings and motivations.

[queerlyobscure]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it :D

Apologies also for the really bad syntax in that sentence, I was really ill when I wrote it and I think the haze destroyed my ability to sound coherent! But this is a lovely, delicate piece :)

[queerlyobscure]

Heh, no worries - you are unequivocally forgiven :)

This is really lovely, love how you got into John's head. You've got him down so well. And the laser pointers never occurred to me but now that you mention it, it makes a lot of sense.

Oh, thank you! Always good to hear that you aren't horribly off-track. I'm glad you enjoyed it (and the laser pointers make sense to me, because otherwise there are a lot more people at that pool).

Loved this! Clean, short, sharp. And with humor!

> That one might be wishful thinking, though.

LOL. Great going. Cheers.
