    Ahh I'm so pleased you liked it!! I had so much fun writing all that fluff <33 Agreed- any John is Sherlock's weakness :)

    I'm really happy you liked the jumper thing! I misremembered your comment from last time and wrote Sherlock in John's jumper instead of John in one of Sherlock's shirts. Glad you thought it worked <3

    Thank you so so much for reading and for your lovely comments throughout!! I loved hearing your feedback and your suggestions <33

    Ooh a fake relationship fic sounds interesting!! Are there any particular scenes or a specific premise you'd like to see?

      I am TOTALLY normal about the prospect of another Johnlock fic by you *vibrates visibly*

      My favourite part of fake relationships are - of course! - all the sweet and tender moments that come so natural to those pining idiots while they tell themselves that it's only pretense ... With Sherlock and John, I think, "it's for a case" is always a good scenario, especially if they get to do couple-y things like staying undercover in a couple's resort or having dancing lessons or doing a cooking class together ... Oh, or maybe their main suspect is a wedding planner? XD

      The second scenario that's always lovely are the holidays ;) Personally, I think it would be great to have something that involves Mrs and Mr Holmes as well - you know, like them being absolutely happy to see their son so happy, welcoming John in the family, maybe have a heart-to-heart talk with one of them ... Festive and fluffyl ^-^

        AHH thank you so much ahaha I'm so honoured that you're excited about it!! And sorry for replying a small eternity later omg! I love all your ideas and I wanted to incorporate everything you mentioned so it took me a while to figure out how to put it all together. I have a basic outline now and I've just started on the first chapter :)) How would you feel about Mystrade being included in this? I'm highkey throwing all the possible tropes into a pot LMAO.

        I'll keep you posted! Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and for your lovely ideas <33

          I have to admit I totally forgot about our conversation, so imagine my surprise - and my delight!! - when I read your message! I'm so excited to get to read more from you ^-^

          I'm pretty casual about background ships and don't have any actual preferences - it's Johnlock that owns my heart ;)

            Thank you so much!! I actually just started a new fic if you're interested: https://archiveofourown.to/works/49838521. It's a Great Gatsby fusion and it features Mary as one of the good guys this time ahaha. Don't worry, Johnlock is still very much the primary focus :)

            I'm still working on the fake relationship fic- I fully intended to publish it before the Gatsby one but writer's block said otherwise lol. I'll let you know when I finally finish it!
