I don't know what to say. I love your writing. I love that your characters are true to the show. I love that I can see and feel and hear what is happening.
But the prologue now seems like some enormous joke. Like: here's what I could have written, this stunning and unique story.... But it's not. You have to wait for what made you want to follow this story. Filler, filler, filler!!
But, as anon above said, your talent outshines so many of the "writers" that have been infecting the Sherlock fandom. So. I'll read. But I am a bit angry because your prologue introduced such a brilliant story, it's what I wanted to read.
Sure I love angst. But John angsting over sherlock's death while others fret over him and sherlock sustaining injuries and having "nightmares" because of "what he's going through" has become trope. Your prologue promised non-trope.
As anon above said, I will continue to check this story, I might even read but it's only so I can get to what made my heart jump into my throat in the prologue.
As another anon said in the wonderful prologue: Sherlock H/C is a dime a dozen. And the unfortunate trend is to have John injured but then that all be overshadowed because Sherlock is "havimg emotions" pr sherlock sustains a minor injury so it's all "well, John is bleeding to dealth...but who the fuck cares? Sherlock is upset."
You changed that. John was the focus. The focus in everything. His injuries were the reason Sherlock moved Sherlock felt...and it was't cause for the tide to change so people could feel sorry for Wobbie!sherlock. It was the tide that seemed to turn Sherlock into doing something for his friend...taking drastic action, destroying for life.
I don't know what to think really...except that I can't wait till what the prologue gave is finally returned to.
