rabidsamfan: (watson jude law)
[personal profile] rabidsamfan
As the moment approached when I must place my fate into the hands of the law, I found myself suspended between confidence and despair, and in that curious state where the most minuscule of details are magnified beyond their usual significance. I found myself entranced by the sound of the girl singing in the scullery as she cleaned, and moved beyond speech by the warmth of my wife's hand as it rested upon my shoulder. For Holmes's sake I counted the steps of each staircase I climbed, and wondered if this unforgiving clarity was how he always saw the world.

I haven't commented before, but I want to tell you how much I am enjoying this series of drabbles. You are able to create a vivid picture with few words and include all of the emotion, too!

I do look forward to reading more of these.

I'm glad you're enjoying them. I'm taking a moment to catch up on replying while I'm waiting for my brain to tell me what to write next!

This is so splendidly done. I know exactly that suspended moment he means, that suspenseful clarity. You've portrayed it gorgeously.

Thank you. It is a very odd state, isn't it?

Speaking of clarity, this is exceptionally so. You have such a way with words.

I can't get over how perfect the notion of noticing things as an act of love between Watson and Holmes is. I...just...lovely beyond belief.
