Description
"I cannot look at the future that we’re now being denied and admit that we could have had anything other than the friendship I already know. If I look down that road which is now closed and see something else there, always glimpsed but never reached for, never acknowledged, it might really break me for good.

But this isn’t about me. If he needs it, then it’ll be said. And God help me."

"Alone on the Water" by Mad Lori: [link]

----------------------------

So basically I'm just surprised I finished painting this without crying. Then again, I have calmed down tremendously since yesterday so... (though for some reason THIS SONG just happened to come up on my ipod and I swear I was this close to involuntarily chuck my computer out the window).

It's a pity I ended up cropping half the pic because I didn't like how it was coming out. Nevertheless, I was going for a more peaceful take instead of angst...I really hope I captured that in here. OH and, sorry about the wrong hairstyle on Sherlock, the image is actually flipped so~

Great piece.  I just read this fic today and wanted to see if anybody had done any visual art on it.  It made me a sobbing mess and so sad, but it was so well-written.

This picture sums up all my feelings about the fanfic and summarizes the fanfic itself, and it's absolutely beautiful, so thank you for drawing this picture

Your art is always beautiful, but this piece do justice to the story, and that's saying something! every time I read the title "Alone on the Water" my first reaction is "Oh god no!" I've read it twice and then steered well clear of it, and that's the best compliment I can pay to it.
I wonder if Mad Lori new what she would do to this fandom...
