Oh, I love the first person POV in this. It really enhances the sensual, intimate atmosphere of the story.

I'm going to have to start watching the new TV series. I've only ever read the original stories and watched the TV series with Jeremy Brett as Holmes.

omg, the new series is just... it's seven different kinds of amazing. RUN, don't walk.

thanks for reading, bb! glad you liked it! :D

So. This fic. Oh, I can't even tell you what this fic makes me feel.

First of all, I obviously hadn't even watched the show when you gave me this to read. And still, it drew me in. The feelings here are so deep. So rich. So full of love, love, love.

I couldn't stay away from the show after this. And now, reading it again after knowing the characters, it's almost painfully beautiful.

I asked husban if he wouldn't mind listening to a few of my favorite lines and ended up reading the whole thing aloud instead.

I could quote back nearly every line for it's poetic and lyrical beauty. But these two are my favorites-

If I could write a love sonnet to John, it would be simply this- the slide of my tongue across his throat, the touch of my hand to his aching side, the breath of my body exhaled for him to breathe.This IS a love sonnet. In Sherlock's way, certainly. But it's romantic and emotional and captivating nonetheless. It suits him so perfectly. I only wish to read more stories from him point of view

Hello,

Sherlock is my latest infatuation, I discovered it only recently so I am a bit late at the party. The TV show is fantabulous and there are so many wonderful fanfics on the web but yours is so utterly unique, I have to leave a comment and say how much I liked it and please keep writing.
