    Summary

    “He’s never worn a ring before. At least not that I’ve seen. Why is he wearing a wedding ring?”

    “It’s his anniversary.”

    John stopped dead. “Mycroft is married?

     

    Silly little crossover ficlet I couldn't get out of my head.

    A series of one-shots that didn't fit into either A Case of You or Holy Wine.

    Summary

    Love was a proven irrationality for men of his kind. To say to anyone, "My heart is yours," would bring on his beloved the permanent threat of being cast off from society, safety, home--Unconscionable. He'd thought the impulse long conquered. Now he saw that time had only distilled it. It was no wild, unfocused longing now, but a concentrated need. To touch a loved face tenderly--it was such a simple thing to be so entirely out of reach.

    Summary

    * One thing I should have made clear at the outset. This is not a massive novel. This is a series of interwoven short stories. Just thought it might be wise to clarify. Lol.

    So this is the first chapter in what promises to be an extremely long work. I will add tags as I go along.

    There are so many of you out there writing Sherlock Holmes stories and you are all doing such an incredible job and I am such a fan.

    I know I am just a voice in the crowd but I hope I am a welcome one.

    Please bear with me if I stray from cannon or take artistic license. I'm sure I will misplace details and muddle facts as I go along and I can only hope that you will extend me your forgiveness. ❤️

    Please wish me luck with these two because I have been wanting to write about Sherlock Holmes and Watson for 43 years and I have finally worked up the courage to do it now.
