This chapter was a fucking epic poem.

I will second the opinion of Skype...a poor substitute (living it right now)..
It has to be so hard, falling in love and then being separated. I'm a bit worried about their technology getting hacked...hopefully Mycroft will be on the job.

Another great chapter!

I do have a question though: who is Jim the producer? I think I missed the Meta notes where you explained who he was. Every time I see his name I think, "Oh, no! Moriarty is there and he's going to ruin everything!!!!!"

No, that's Jim Schamus, who is a real producer.

haha, thanks. I figured he was a real person, but I still couldn't help but get a bit jumpy whenever the name turned up.

I love Sally in this. Wildly entertained by any claim that Jim is not the enemy.

His arse had been subject to some new activity lately, and it was raising a white flag at the idea of a six mile bike ride. He looked at John, who’d clearly just had the same revelation.
<3 you’re hilarious. and realistic- just a few reasons why I am madly in love with this fic.

And, of course, the John and Sherlock scenes, so poignant. Thank you for posting, this is absolutely lovely.

(pssst you do remember that Jim-the-producer is not Moriarty, right? he's Jim Schamus?)

Oh no! I had, in fact, forgotten. Silly me. Oh well, good while the illusion lasted.

Semi-bad ideas that I do not regret: Reading this chapter with my "love" playlist playing on iTunes. Excuse me while I mop up my happy creys.

Notes:

- I love you for mentioning that Sherlock's hair is dark brown, and not "raven black". Minor pet peeve of mine.
- I need that T-shirt as well.

Interested to see how you'll fit all of the publicity and Oscar drama in three chapters!!! *wink nudge*
