Oh so THAT'S the real reason why... Perfect!

If you think about it, the timing does seem a bit suspicious, doesn't it? ;)

Thanks for reading and commenting! ♥

It's so nice to meet another Anthea lover. Ever since the lovely solrosan made me fall in love with Anthea, I can't seem to get enough of her. So good she's back in the series. And that it's inspired you to this lovely little story.

So Sherlock needs to be saved and brought home from Serbia because Anthea won't take Mycroft's place in the theatre? Perfect!
*giggles*

Looking forward to discovering your other stories now.

You know zedille is the reason I fell in love with Anthea, right? :D Without her there would be about four SMS fics.

[frozen_delight]

No, I didn't know that.
zedille, I love you! <3

By the way, I'm so looking forward to your next texting fic! I hope the other two episodes will also be really inspiring for you.

If you think about it, the timing of Sherlock's return is just a bit suspicious, isn't it? ;)

Thanks so much for your kind words! This is, as of now, my only story in this fandom, but sooner or later (if solrosan has her way) I might yet end up writing another one. Anthea is definitely one of the highlights of the show for me, and seeing her back last episode (plus the entire Les Misérables joke) made my day. I hope she appears again tomorrow...

Hah! This was glorious. Love that trying to get out of going to the theatre was Mycroft's real motivation for bringing Sherlock home.

Also, your Anthea is fabulous <3

If you think about it, the timing of Sherlock's return is just a bit suspicious, isn't it? (What does it say about me that that was one of my first thoughts after I saw the episode? :P)

If you liked this Anthea here, then you might like (shameless plug) the Anthea in the Short Message Service series, which I beta for! At this point solrosan and I share the same Anthea voice more often than not ;)

[hikarievandar]

I hadn't though about it that way, but now that you mention it... XD My first thoughts were 'come on, Sherlock, you really need your brother to rescue you? Where's your baby sibling pride?'

Thanks for the rec! *clicks*

Oh, that's lovely! I can absolutely see Mycroft going to those lengths for the dual pleasures of getting out of something he doesn't want to do and making Sherlock do it instead. Shame it didn't work out for him... :-)

I think I actually squealed when I saw Anthea. I so hope we see more of her!

[zedille]

If you think about it, the timing of Sherlock's return does seem a bit suspicious, doesn't it? I wonder if Sherlock himself has put two and two together yet...

Thanks for reading and commenting! It was fantastic seeing Anthea again last episode, and also getting proof that she's involved in the more political aspects of Mycroft's job. I hope she reappears in the new episode tomorrow! :D
