Ouch.
Very well written... but damn. *shudders* This was dark.
Loved the fucked-up-ness!

Dude, I know what you mean, it came out so much darker than I'd planned. *shudders with you*

Glad to see a fellow lover of fucked-up-ness! Thank you! <3

Wow. Well done, you. Each character's reaction is pitch perfect.

[patster223]

Oh, thank you so much. <3

It's been absolutely dark! A great work!

[patster223]

Thank you! :D

The idea is really good, but I feel that the fic itself is a bit short to develop the story fully. I would love to see it in an even longer version, because you have some really good elements here; the juxtaposition of Sherlock's professional, calculating personality and the subtle warmth of John's personality in the background - it works very well, and so does the gradual build-up of the grotesqueness of the killings (and the corresponding build-up of fear)!

I know what you mean, it's an idea that probably belongs in a longer fic. I sort of envisioned this shorter structure though, and I'm pretty happy with it despite its length. I do know what you're saying though, and I appreciate your honesty.

Thank you very much for your comment! :D

This fic is wildly intense and so damn amazing. Your characterization is pitch-perfect, and I hate you for it. I could envision the whole thing, even though it was terrifying to do so. Like I said, it's beautiful and horrifying and such a clever way to get a glimpse into Sherlock's head. You have that balance of his personality written so insanely well.

And now, to flail: UGH I HATE YOU FOR WRITING THIS AMAZING PIECE OF AMAZINGNESS. IT'S SO DARK AND HORRIBLE AND UTTERLY FANTASTIC AND THE BEST EARLY BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER. NEVER STOP WRITING ME SHERLOCK STORIES.

*GLEEFUL!ATTACK*

*GLEEFUL!ATTACKS YOU BACK* ILY AND YOUR COMMENTS. AND AS IF I COULD EVER STOP WRITING YOU SHERLOCK. THE WAY THIS IS GOING YOU'LL PROBABLY GET ANOTHER FIC BY THE END OF THE MONTH, YOU WHORE. <3

THANK YOU.
