And there it is, our first fic. Quite long, that's why I've not finished reading yet.

Lost and Found

But so far I love it. There is lots of hurt and comfort, one of my favourite things in fanfics. I can't wait finishing it after school. :-)

LOST AND FOUND

Aww... that was sweet. I'm not a Johnlocker, at least not in the fluffy sense, but this walked the fine line between being just about imaginable and being downright soppy really well. I think it wouldn't have worked for me if it had been set in Baker Street, so it was a very good idea to just take them and put them somewhere else entirely (and Sherlock tricking John into it, so IC!).  I liked the little bits of humour - like Sherlock enjoying a ride in an SUV at times, and the hilarious mental image of John in long johns! Well done, unknown author!



Schmiezi - if the majority is fine with having fics posted on the actual days of Christmas, too, may I at least file a humble request for the one that was written for me not being among those? I would really, really like to read it and comment straight away, it would be so rude otherwise. Do you think you could make that work?

What a lovely, warm story, and beautifully written too. Great way to start Secret  Santa 2014,

I love how you mixed the Christmassy and romantic feelings with the more serious undertones of Sherlock's absence and John's memories of his father. 

Well said. I absolutely agree.

Lost and Found

Thank you, unknown author, thank you, this felt like ski holiday on a hut with a chimney and warm chocolate with whipped cream. Best of winter feelings.
Kudos.
 

Oh look at the other thread. A secret little Santa's helper has made us a present.

Lost and Found

Aww. That was heartwarming. I loved your imagery in regards to the settings and the lovely relationship you portrayed, Unknown. Bravo.

What a lovely and thoughful present, Sherlock. 

Lost and Found

Wow, what a beautiful story to start  with. Love the prose style and the dialogues look so realistic, it's easy to imagine that they might talk like that. Beautiful Christmassy setting. Wow, just wow.

Wonderful story. It´s prose flowed like a beautiful melody, with various parts (flashbacks, thoughts, memories, emtions, dialogues) blended together in such a harmonious manner that none of them stuck out awkwardly and that an enchanting mosaic of Sherlock´s and John´s life was built out of them in front of our eyes. The themes from the prompt were used very skillfully in the story and the Scandinavian setting was ingenious, because, well, Christmas and Scandinavia go well together (the home of Santa Claus and all.)
 
But what I really liked the most was the way in which a reference about Sherlock´s and John´s past trauma was built into the narrative. It was only used as a plot element but it didn´t take a center stage in the story, which was beautiful, because it hinted at the fact that we are looking only on a small part of Sherlock´s and John´s everyday existence and that a rich tapestry of their mutual life exists beyond this text. Very nice. The description of a relationship and the dialogues also added to a realistic, mature but heart-warming feel of this story. All in all, fantastic start for this years Secret Santa Fic Exchange.
