Most of this 'verse toes the line pretty thinly between literal and metaphorical, to the point that I'm not even quite sure where it starts and where it ends. I rather liked the idea that this verse's Sherlock is able to experiment on emotions and feelings the way he would experiment on our world's physical laws and chemicals; it gives a neat spin to his stance on caring and being emotionally stunted when it comes to people. And of course he'd keep the hearts in jars. He'd line them up on the table while John is eating breakfast and babble about ventricle sizes and heart rates. :D thank you for such a long, thought-out comment! I'm really glad you liked this.

And I'd be delighted if you podficced this. ♥
