I had to decide whether it was worth it to get people all worked up and think maybe Sherlock would die and risk losing anyone who didn't want to read character death...and I went with being evil, because and hoped it wouldn't scare off too many potential readers. :-) I'm glad you decided to read it in the end.
I never thought of DYIN as particularly h/c because in the end the only person who gets hurt is Watson and the comfort is nowhere to be found, unless you count Holmes including him in his dinner plans...which I never thought was good enough. And Watson really needs to get some backbone in that story, too. *sigh* So John punching Sherlock was as cathartic for me as it was for him. Hehe.
Anyway, thanks so much for reviewing. I'm very glad you enjoyed the story.
