It was simply fantastic! Your writing is superb and had my heart pacing the entire time. Alas, it's only on tumblr that I find the best of the best, huh? I'm always a bit hesitant with fanfics because anyone can go on and "write" but this. THIS! My goodness, I can't believe what you would be hesitant about. So glad to have found this. More to come?

Holy zamboni, anon. Thank you for such kind words. I was nervous about making that first foray into Sherlock Holmes, especially the Ritchieverse with such witty dialogue, and I have never written in a Victorian setting before. But I do not anticipate this being my only fic. The recent movie really set my muse alight, and I just read a fictional biography of Holmes and Watson that has me pondering a few things. Thanks again for reading!

I loved it ;*;
For some reason I was STILL hoping for Watson to remember what happened, so the ending broke my little heart XD
Anyway, amazing and gorgeous work, thank you <3

Very happy you liked it! I am actually glad for the prompt that Watson not remember. It keeps with the whole angsty Holmes we had throughout this film. I love the idea of Holmes' sacrifice in the end being even greater than Watson realizes. Thank you for reading!

Awww, this is just heart-breaking. And gorgeous. Poor boys... SORT IT OUT, OMG!!! *sobs* But seriously, beautiful, lovely fic here! Just perfect, despite the sad ending. I have hope that these two will eventually work it all out, though! Great job! ♥
