OK, so firstly have have a whole host of apologies I need to make re:TNP. I AM REALLY SORRY I HAVE NOT YET GOT BACK TO YOU. Really. I know it's now getting pretty damn late and I'm sorry. I'm going to try and do all the chapters I owe you tomorrow, but after that, I am going to have to stop. But I promise I'll get those two chapters to you before I leave. And again, I am sorry it's taken me this long.
Second. Fuck AO3 users. It's fannish and super useful t read it all in one go, so I say go for it unless AO3 say otherwise. In fact, when I found you were posting this to AO3 I acutally waited so I could read it all in one go.
Thirdly: ALL PARTS IN ONE GO! (and I'm posting this as I read to if something I say here you then clear up further down, sorry. :P)
I have never thought about why it is that Sherlock wants a flatmate. Never. And now, thinking about it, its a really obviously question to ask. Because really, he's not one for making proper connections with people and in Hounds he says he only has "one friend" and Moriarty makes out that the only people he cares about are John, Mrs Hudson and Lestrade. And even if you include Molly, everyone apart from John is work/home related. They were something else first before they were friends - and the something else they were was through necessity rather than anything else. So why does he want a flatmate? (You're probably going to give us you thought later but I'm not there yet. :P)
I also didn't think so much about the character of Mike Stamford either. :P
I LOVE YOUR MRS HUDSON BACKSTORY. LOVE.
Best not to insult soldiers around Captain John Watson, buddy. He's seen better men then you die. Oh man I love that line. :D
It makes me wonder if even Mycroft isn't aware of what Sherlock's sexuality is. I don’t think he is. You know euclase on tumblr? I remember her once saying that it is very difficult to "come out" as being asexual because very few people actually understand what you mean. Maybe Sherlock never mentioned it to anyone because other people would have a hard time actually understanding what he meant. So he just didn't bother, because what difference would it make? I mean, for all John's awesomeness, I don't think even he would understand fully. But Irene did, didn't she? "I'm not actually gay" / "Well I am. Look at us both."
You're not haunted by the war, you miss it. Retrospectively, this now makes me think of the Hurt Locker (yes yes, I have a thing. I know. :P) SO SAD.
(BTW: If you ever wanted hope for the future, just look at how some 15 year olds dissect art on tumblr...it's amazing, and they should all be getting As in English Lit at school. Though, if you ever wanted to lose hope for the future, go look at some of the 15 year-olds on tumblr.) Tumblr, in one handy sentence (though I know more non-15yr olds than 15yr olds to be honest. :P)
Sherlock's face when he gets called stupid. It's like challenging Marty McFly to a dare or telling Hawkeye that he can't hit a target. HAWKEYE :D (it's a thing, remember? :P)
Rupert could have his own series where Inspector Lestrade solves the crime. I would watch the shit out of that. LESTRAAADE.
Very good and very interesting as usual! I am sad that I'll be missing you next ones, but it's something to look forward to. :D
