*pats* I'm sorry I made you feel those things! (...I'm not sorry.)
Thank you for such a lovely, in-depth comment! It's always so great to get detailed feedback - particularly when it highlights things I hadn't even thought of myself. I really love what you said about the handcuff bit - it's funny, because what I was actually thinking about was the dialogue that accompanies that scene (I think a lot about the context of the clips when I vid....maybe too much) - that's the scene where he tells Joan that 'seeing the puzzle' 'has its costs'...it's isolating. There is no cavalry coming because he has pushed them all away. But it works both ways!
The Manhattan constellation and Irene's freckle constellation...I was really pleased with that parallel. :-) But I debated whether or not to put it in - it initially felt a bit strange to see Irene in the vid, when it was otherwise such an intimate look at Joan and Sherlock's relationship, and Sherlock's psyche. But then I realised (a) Irene/Moriarty IS such a key part of what makes up that psyche that it was no different from showing his drug addiction, and (b) I would have been really annoyed if I'd seen that parallel show up in another vid :-P

tl;dr: Thank you! I hope you've recovered.
