Oh my goodness, what a tense standoff! And a cliffhanger again too. I'm so happy you are keeping going with this fic!

[missilemuse]

I'm so happy that you're still reading the story even though it's been more than a month. I won't give up on the story and will try and update asap. Thanks a lot for the encouragement.

Is it odd that I had the same reaction that Watson did? I would have shot Sherlock too. It was the only way to gain any kind of hand at all. Well written and planned! I am very excited for the next chapter. :)

[missilemuse]

Exactly! I knew that by the end of the stand-off, John had to shoot Sherlock, but trying to make that happen realistically with five (and yes I include Seb) diva characters was a bitch. I have lost track of the no. of revisions I did till I got the feel right. Thanks for taking the time to review. The encouragement is food for thought.

[oregeki]

Oh yeah! I also wanted to say I love how you've characterized everyone, it's spot on. Mycroft, Jim, sebastian... I have re-fallen for these characters because of you. I'm not usually a fan of the boys being anything more than platonic, but you captured me with the first chapter and I read the entire thing in 2 hours. Just thought I should tell you that! :3

You are deliciously cruel ;)

[missilemuse]

:) no seriously :0

If there was an icon where I would be rubbing my hands together while cackling with evil laughter, I would have used that too!

I'm so proud of myself for this chapter. You wont believe the number of revisions I had make to accommodate five divas and ACTION in the same chapter.

Of course, your reaction makes it all worth it! Thanks a lot!

p.s. will try and update sooner next time.

SO brilliant! I especially loved this bit: "That said, Jim Moriarty finally stepping out into the limelight to take a bow wearing his brother’s face was a development he had not anticipated." This was such a fantastic twist on the pool scene. I love the psychological implicates of Jim using Sherlock's face and voice to manipulate and harm other people. Brilliant!

[missilemuse]

Thanks a lot for the enthusiastic response. I loved writing that scene.

You'll find this weird but I get this itch in my head when I delay an update for too long. But this time, it was purely due to the story. It took more revisions than I can count to get it right. But your comment makes the effort worth it. Thanks again!
