This story.... is Unbelievable! From first to last word it's pure genius! I did not just love everything about this story, but I was amazed and astonished, every step of the way. Watson's language was perfect and so much fun to read! I can't tell you how every sentence gave me so much pleasure to read it.... Everything that was said by any character was perfect.... not only that the characterization of each was incredible but they were saying some things that were so clever and interesting and... I don't know how to describe even what I mean, but it was all so clever that it was just shocking! :-) Shockingly clever is what it was! lol My brain was twisted into a pretzel when Holmes explained his reasoning and how he found the watch... I just can't believe what a perfect, wonderful, intelligent...story this is! The story of Snape and Potter was perfection and so gratifying and fulfilling and emotionally charged - absolutely no pr0n was missed. I just loved the little observations at intervals about them that moved their story along so efficiently and beautifully... I think with a combination of a mind and a talent like yours, *you* are "dangerous and powerful" like Snape! lol And the ending was greatness itself - totally leaves the way open to more adventures, and ... basically it was a final astonishing genius thing in the whole series of astonishing genius things that is this story. You gave me hours of pleasure and happiness! And since I'm such a slow reader, it was quite a few hours! Thank you. (Btw, the Snarry part was completely fulfilling. I'm still high on those words about Snape's open and vulnerable look... :-))

Ooops! You're right, I DID miss your comment! I'm sorry about that, because it is a lovely, heart-warming and thoughful response and I'm grateful that you took the time to tell me what you thought. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. I'm glad I got the level of Snarry right - I was a bit concerned that readers would expect more of the relationship, but I don't think that would have worked, not from Watson's POV anyway. Thank you for your comments!
