It is actually fairly cool that as you were reading my fic, I was reading yours (which I gushed on about how I loved, btw. Lestrade's voice was awesome).

Thank you so much! That is exactly what I was going for (Watson's self-blame, his love of Holmes, his loyalty, his determination to serve in the war, his horror in spite of that, and his humor). I can't tell you how pleased I am to hear that it worked. Woo hoo!
