Beautiful, just beautiful. Such a depth of understanding of canon and its characters expressed with elegance and emotion. I loved every word, but I'll just have to settle with a few pieces of my absolute favorite detail, Holmes in love with the sound of Watson's voice.
His words, marooned on the page without the nuance of his voice and gestures, lose half their power.
In prose, Watson is competent; in person, he's electric.
and
His voice always exercised a certain witchcraft over me, never more than when raised in song. Yet for years, I had been reticent to tell him so.
Mmm, there's just so much to love here. What craft to have the ability to make such beautiful art. I am immensely impressed and we are so fortunate to have you and this work in our exchange. Thank you!
