First, I'm so sorry you haven't gotten more comments on this, love. These were really interesting reactions to that neighborhood and I really enjoyed reading them.
Actually, your thoughts got me thinking about some of the reasons it feels a little too fluffy to me. It's that TEH also seemed to lack substance the same way the first two series do. That left HLV with one heck of a mountain to climb, but it also meant when it came down to getting Sherlock settled back into Baker Street, reconnecting with friends and so on, I'd already really done quite a bit of that, I guess, or had been looking for it and not quite getting it in TEH. So as lovely as TSOT was, I was also already like a kid on a sugar high going in.
That doesn't mean I didn't love it. It just meant I loved it in a different way and have had to kind of ease into how much I loved it. It didn't immediately sweep me off my feet. but as I look at the fandom deductions and discussions and fic and the like?
Yeah. Can't imagine our little universe without it. And reading your thoughts on it made me smile, because it showed me a friend just liking it as well. And that made me happy. So thanks!
