Cool. I like this idea. A Sherlock with brakes.

Thanks for commenting!
Yeah, I was hoping that the "brakes" wouldn't make him OOC!

Not too schmoop. Good mix of schmoop and angst :)

Not too schmoopy! Sherlock's fear is palpable. But I would have loved John's reaction being described; also wouldn't say no to a comfort follow-up (say where John offers to go first!) But that's just me being greedy! Thanks for sharing!

About the posting error, don't worry, been there...done that!

Thank you! Haha, follow-up fic was considered while I was writing this one...we'll see, all my WIPs are still hanging over me, and I really should do them first! XD

The annoying thing was, I realised I'd forgotten the link as soon as I hit 'submit', but I couldn't edit until the entry had been approved....Gah!

Nice. I like that John was understanding of Sherlock's feelings. I hope you follow up with more on Sherlock's past and how John helps him overcome it.

Aw, thank you! Glad you liked it, but uh-oh, I sense the build up of pressure for me to write a sequel...!

Just the right amount of schmoopy. They're so lucky to have one another and they know it. Well done.
