This kind of heartbreak I can live with. *snugs* I'm with the others, thanks SO much for the early Christmas gift!

Aw, I'm so glad! *cuddles you back* Thank you so much for reading it. I really appreciate it. :)

Ahhh, lovely. You hit all the right notes. Thanks so much for sharing this (now I may go re-read me some Pros and wax all nostalgic).

Oh, thank you! I'm so glad this hit the right notes. I must admit, writing these two stories has put me on my own Pros nostalgia kick. It's wonderful to revisit old loves and find they're just as wonderful as you remembered! Happy re-reading. :)

And thank you so much for your lovely comments. I really appreciate them.

I'm so sorry about your PC! I hope it's back up and running ASAP. Thanks so much for your kind words, my friend.

it was unbearably sad until that last line; you made it all better at the very last second just as their relationship seems to be one of seconds rather than years.

Wow, the writing is this is so strong. There's an atmosphere here of bleak and empty and cold and hardbitten. I think I notice it more since I don't know Bodie and Doyle that well. You must be writing brilliantly the whole time and I'm just looking at S and J and L and not paying attn to the skills.

You have the restraint of a god to not let Bodie reveal himself. You also have the courage to let Sherlock be petty as he just might be. He isn't perfect.

These crossover continue to interest me without any foreknowledge of the show, that alone is some pretty amazing work on your part.

I'm so glad that the last line made things better!

It means a lot to me to know that you thought the writing worked here. One of my main goals for this piece was to try to evoke a bleak and wintry atmosphere, so your description of "bleak and empty and cold and hardbitten" thoroughly made my day.

You have the restraint of a god to not let Bodie reveal himself.

Oh, poor Bodie. That was rough, let me tell you. I'd like to think that he got what he most needed, though, from the brief moments of interaction that he allowed himself.

You also have the courage to let Sherlock be petty as he just might be. He isn't perfect.Thank you for this. I imagine Sherlock at his worst would have quite a cruel streak. I wanted to show a difference between the young Sherlock in "The Distance Getting Close," who was still together enough to seek out Lestrade when he needed distraction, and this one, who was so far gone that he was actively hiding (and, I presume, already had made arrangements for a different kind of "fix"). Even at this low point, ( ... )
