They specifically referenced previous occasions in the show where Sherlock got hit in the head. That's very rare in storytelling, to show consequences and not handwave it away. I can't think of another television show that's done so, and it's not common even in fiction.
>> I suppose I must have just missed it because iirc it was the network scheduling it at odd time-slots during the sixth season that shook me off the train. Maybe I'll finally revisit that wonderful show.<<
I think it was well handled. Hell, they gave it more respect than doctors do -- people treated it as a real concern instead of telling Sherlock to quit faking. He had to deal with some serious limitations to his life for a while, and it really upset him.
>> And lastly but not leastly, loved the fic. You really nailed the cadences of their speech patterns and I felt like I was indeed watching a coda or short episode. <<
Thank you! :D They have such distinctive voices, I hear them every time I re-read this.
>> The information-density of what they were up to also contributed to the immersion. Delightful. <<
That's mostly just one gifted person writing another. I use my extrapolative engine to generate universes instead of solving crimes, but it's similar enough that I can handle the information density of Sherlock's perspective. I loved how BBC Sherlock used text overlay to show what Sherlock was thinking.
