This is just beautiful.

[soera]

Thank you!

That was very cool. They don't know so we don't know; it just does and they/we run with it. That worked very well.

[soera]

Oh, thanks for mentioning that! The parallel between how you/the reader and John/Sherlock don't find out what's going on and so just run with it was completely intentional, and having you point it out put a ridiculous grin on my face.

... That sentence got away from me a bit. In any case - I'm glad you liked it; thank you for reviewing!

Here via a rec.

What a creative piece. Such a lovely depiction of how they're always there for each other, one way or another.

“Just wake up,” he breathes. “One miracle, John. Just for me. Wake up."

Beautiful.

Thank you!

I just could not resist. That line was begging to be written the moment I thought the scene up. =D Thank you for reviewing!

[Do you mind me asking where this rec is? I'm always a little flabbergasted when I find out something I wrote's been recced, and now I'm curious as to who recced it!]

[green_key]

Not at all. The rec was from a friend in chat. She has also left a story comment here. :)

[soera]

Cool, thanks! Tell your friend I'm very flattered indeed she thought this worth reccing. =D

Really unique and an interesting idea wonderfully written!!

[soera]

Thank you! =D

Ohhhh, but this was gorgeous. I love the little glimpses of John's POV that young Sherlock doesn't recognize, his confusion at finding himself in Sherlock's bedroom, how much it hurts to find Sherlock after his father's death. And then that ending, when they can both finally be on equal footing - just lovely.

[soera]

Oh, sneaking in bits and pieces of what John was going through was one of the best parts of the whole thing. =D I'm glad you liked it; thank you so much for reviewing!
