    Very nice indeed! What a hard and complicated love story they had/have. Perfect.

    Just one thing though: the public school you say john goes to at the beginning. In England, public school is what americans call private school. So public school is where Sherlock would be going, not John. John would go to a state-run school. ;)
    We also don't have Cracker Jacks, but since we don't have equivalents. At best we have machines filled with round balls in which you put a coin, turn the knob and get one ball that have a prize in and sometimes a bubblegum too. That's where I always got those flimsy rings you're talking about. :p

      Complicated indeed! Thank you.

      Thank you so much for the little Brit-picks. I'm not North American so I went to a school that uses the British system, but clearly not the British terminology. Now I know something new. I've edited the fic to include the change to John's school. Also I know cracker jacks aren't really in the UK, but I needed a pair of toy rings! I do know the machines you talk about though. Good times! :D
