Loved it! Loved how John's reaction was something Sherlock would have never expected.

[ryanbrendonlove]

Thank you! Sherlock was so clearly thrown by John's comment in the show; I couldn't stop thinking about the possibilities!

[warriorbot]

Dittoing all over what pinigir said - the way Sherlock is blindsided by John's admiration is captured (and explained) beautifully here!

[ryanbrendonlove]

Wow, thank you! All I can think about when I watch this scene is what Sherlock thinks is going to happen. And as we know, John Watson is far too much of a BAMF to do the obvious :D

Brilliant! I'm not sure I'm talented, but I sure recognize your genius!

Also, I'm not sure why, but this passage was SCORCHING HOT in my opinion:

He starts slowly, going back to the superficial deductions he made yesterday, gently running the blade over their thin skin. Then he carefully slices under the fat, deconstructing the façade that people think covers the things they don’t want to show the world. Finally the blade slices deep into muscle, pulling those things that people won’t even admit to themselves out into the open.

LOVE it! I hope you'll write more! Don't mind me, I'm just gonna sit in a corner there and wait.

[ryanbrendonlove]

You! <3 I absolutely adore your comments, you know.

Thank you so, so much; I'm really glad you enjoyed reading it! I have written one more notreallysong!fic, and am planning to write more when I have the time. So I hope you'll like it when I get round to it!

This makes perfect sense. John didn't react the way everyone else does, he surprised Sherlock, and that makes him interesting.
