Thanks for finishing this storyline! I was on tenterhooks! I know I couldn't climb out of a sewer with a concussion and a broken leg, even with significant help, but John's made of sterner stuff.

(Couple of typos: "Sherlock mapped out their accent" should probably be "ascent"; "taking shallow breathes" should be "breaths".)

Yikes, I was on a typo roll with this one... Thanks for letting me know! And yes, John is a BAMF. :P

And your muse has saved himself from the speedo. Moreover, I'd say you, dear author, have outdone yourself with this lovely sequel!

I for one love extra attention spent on John suffering. Any suffering. When there is this much suffering and you are so very attentive yet subtle in writing about it the story comes out brilliantly. Sherlock's response was wonderful, the dread in seeing John against the grate, the sudden bout of anger at the whole situation, and the burst of relief in John's show of understanding. Not overly done, rather well handled and still so very Sherlock.

Perfect.

Thanks so much! As much as I love *reading* H/C, I always have a tough time writing it. So there's lots of relief in hearing you think it came out well. :)

He already has a tutu, the poor thing.

I say we keep the speedo in reserve. ;)

[sweet_chi]

We'll need it for future threats. He's rather unruly.

So awesome! Out of all that is bright and shiny about this fic, I think Sherlock's deep and abiding anger at everyone who dares to harm his John. :)

[sweet_chi]

Protective!Sherlock is a favorite of mine, as well. :) Glad you liked it!

Loved this! And any muse who can do this while wearing a tutu deserves extra props, respect, and a bottle of his favorite booze. ;-)

He's taken off for a week long bender in Vegas now that the prompts are all filled.

That seems like a sensible response. I think my muse is off to party in Tahiti.

He'll be drunk texting me at three in the morning with completely random plot bunnies...
