This is awesome. I love Sherlock and Neal's playing off one another as John and Peter look on alternately nervously and proudly. I wish El had more screentime (though I get why she didn't -- this was an incredibly well-paced story) but love the bits she did. And poor Lestrade! Though I feel like maybe Peter will learn to loosen up a bit by following Lestrade's example.

This is very ungrateful, but now I want about 40 deleted scenes from this, including Sherlock/Neal sexytimes, Lestrade and Peter having a drink after the whole thing, John and El flirting, Mycroft and Mozzie somehow knowing each other and IMing constantly during the chase, more of Neal's speech, etc.

Anyway, thanks for a wonderful story. Made my day.
