What atlinmerrick said, right there, because I don't have any words left. Your gorgeous fic stunned them right out of me.

That night John Watson fell asleep and dreamed his dreams… and woke up the next day and lived them.

*flails helplessly*

THAT. That right there. Just...whoa, yeah.

*flails some more*

If this is what you write when you're down--well, I don't want you to be down, but the details are exquisite and show exactly how John feels and thinks.

while I am sorry that you have been in a grey place and had to put off finishing another piece while you worked on this one, this one is truly brilliant and angst!lovely and completely worthy of ~am going to wake someone up to read this~. right now! so hopefully it wasn't all for naught, the bad time? the grey?

so much to ♥ here. from the opening to the looks into john's life midpoint and then your conclusion which was a lovely wrap up. truly lovely. but that last line. "That night John Watson fell asleep and dreamed his dreams… and woke up the next day and lived them." makes it all the best "god its going to be not just fine but fantastic!" fin ever!

kudos on taking your rough patch and turning it into this. hope you are feeling much better now. and that it stays that way. forever.
