I am extremely disappointed that it will be a very long time before we return to seriously!injured!John and protective!vengeful!Sherlock. The prologue is what instantly drew me to the fic, your ability to perfectly encompass those feelings of Sherlocks, the wait for John to awake and the comfort to come.
I'm disappointed because RF fics have been done...hundreds? Of times. Hundreds of theories, hundreds of Sherlocks quest to break the web...hundreds of Johns mental state during Sherlocks death.
But I'd never read one as the prologue had led me to believe this fic to be. Thank god it didn't seem to be some reunion story where Sherlock is some "shell" of himself(which I've never found plausible in any way). Or a story where the Fall is hashed out while characters languish and lie amongst Sherlock's "death"
It seemed to be a story of consequences. Of leaving the "how I got here" far less important then "I'm here now"
So. Yes. I'm disappointed. Because the prologue grabbed me...and from reviews it's what grabbed everyone.
You have amazing writing talent. I will continue to read this....but only so I can get back to what the prologue seemed to promise.
So...in the end. I'm crushed that this is yet another RF "theory" story from the moment the fall happened. But I have that promise(I hope) of the prologue and I have the unquestioned talent of your writing.
