History YMMV / AloneOnTheWater

* {{Narm}}: There is a small but significant number of people in Series/{{Sherlock}} fandom that consider this story to be nothing more than an overrated sob story. Critics mainly focus on the excessive amounts of crying (done by John), the sheer banality of the plot (Sherlock just picks up a brain tumor so the angst can begin) and some glaring OOC moments. Alternatively, it could be considered NarmCharm, sort of like ''Film/{{Titanic}}'', because people seem to consider this story to be just one big TearJerker.

* {{Wangst}}: John's narrative can come off as this in certain places. His mourning mainly consists of crying and then staring off into space, which is rather OOC for him.
