I need more of this in my life.

In fact, my very life could depend on it.

Or, you know, not.

But it might!

Don't tell me things like that! Now I'm nervous. D: I don't want your life to depend on this. You'll be ok! Breathe!

Thank you!

Very, very well written. I come from a military family and generally people seem to handle PTSD like it's the plot of a Mexican soap opera, so I'm very happy with this.

I can safely say it's all thanks to the 2005 revival of Sweeney Todd that I ended up doing all this in-depth research on PTSD (as well as 19th century asylums, naturally). But thank you for saying so. *shudders at the thought of Mexican soap operas*

Oooh, early, traumatised Watson! My favorite!

I love the cleaning, and the rotten temper. Poor boy, he is having a rough time of it.

[skyvehicle]

Yeah. *sighs* poor guy. And Holmes sure isn't helping any.

I like a wounded and battle-weary Watson. Keep those chapters coming!

Will do my best!
