Gah, this is amazing. My OT3 inclinations are normally confined to Doctor/Rose/Jack, but for this I am more than willing to expand. I love the balence of their relationship, your Sarah, everything. More please :-D

Well, I can't *really* argue with your first preference re:OT3s, that trio is absolutely fantastic! ^_^ But I'm glad to provide even a distant runner-up, thanks!

(and yes, there is more. It's almost done, just some scene additions and an ending rewrite to manage, then off to beta!)

I'm so excited and intrigued to see where you take this.

Ohjeez. Glad you liked it! Angst is... not my favourite thing to write, but it seemed Necessary at the time...

And yes, there's more coming, very plotty, just waiting on beta. :)

Jesus Christ, but that was fucking good. It had me literally leaning forward to read more.

D: <-- drugged Sherlock

D: <-- Moriarty

D: <-- No OT3???

Thank God for that ending otherwise I would have just gone back to bed forever. I'm really looking forward to them all making up.

What d'you mean no OT3? If we're talking smut, I make up for it in the next bit... :P

And yeah, Moriarty's a dick. 's kind of his thing. I'm rather enjoying writing him, to be honest. That should... worry me more than it does, oughtn't it?

But I'm glad you liked it, darlin'! \o/

No, I meant I was horrified that maybe the OT3 would end!

And yes, worry about Moriarty muchly. ;)

naaah, I wouldn't do that, no. That would just be *mean.*

(Moriarty should *always* be worried about, as a general rule)

Sarah's reaction is so honest and perfect and natural. Not overdramatized. Brilliant.

(But I'm damn glad they're back together.)

^_^ Huzzah. I had the devil of a time resigning myself to the necessity of this interlude. Because really, this started out so *gratuitously* - I had difficulty acknowledging that it turned into something totally different, with plot and emotions and all that *stuff*... /facepalm/

When I realized that was Moriarty in Sarah's office, my heart leapt into my throat. That scheming bastard. I don't blame Sarah for running off for a bit, but I'm so glad she's steeled herself to the danger, stress, and weirdness of this relationship.

LOL at Anthea as nursemaid.

Hee, good to know I kep M in character. He was terrifically fun to write, which should be worrying, and yet... lol

This is not the first time, I think, that Anthea's had to deal with a Holmes brother who's feeling unwell. She can handle it, she's a HBIC. \o/
