Thanks to the wonderful inspiration coming from @holmesianlove and @lisbeth-kk and their great work and recommendations, I will also share the fics I'm currently reading.

So here is the one that left me in tears in no time.

Absolutely wonderful with a focus on a very heartbroken doctor and a very caring detective.

you know what, 8 yr old me being absolutely obsessed with the sickening relationship between faramir and denethor, then going crazy over sherlock & mycroft, only to end up here, luxuriating in the cringe of all cringe - thinking all day long about the complexities of washington's relationships with lafayette vs hamilton vs laurens - makes a lot of sense. one hint of paternal-ish angst and i salivate like a dog i guess.

fashion statement

Mishka would be horrified by Nikolai going out in public dressed like this. His biggest pet peeve is Nikolai's tendency to wear sweatpants everywhere with no apparent regard for his appearance. Nikolai is in good company today, though. Ginger is another one who'll wear sweatpants anywhere, and although she does know how to dress up when necessary, she doesn't always want to. Right now, sweatpants are her clothing item of choice because they're comfortable and easy to wear (and they still fit her). Even the boys are in their athletic wear.

Nikolai thinks they're making a fashion statement. Both Mishka and Stephen would probably agree on that, although they'd likely have a different opinion on the content of the statement.

I just learned that Thrawn was inspired by Napoleon, Erwin Rommel, Alexander the Great and Sherlock Holmes and well.

sometimes a specific line of writing is so good you have to read it over and over because the fictional characters in your head get stuck on it

Just as the head deer is poised to shoot wounded Amelia, Alex can't bear to watch her potential demise. Therefore, he has no choice but to rescue her from certain death.

Letters From Watson Liveblog - Nov. 7

The Three Garridebs, Part 1 of 2

This feels like such a different way to start off a story than usual. I don't think Watson has ever written a beginning that's so "storybook" for lack of a better term.

Holmes doing something knighthood-worthy isn't surprising, neither is the fact he refused it. My only question is whether Watson was involved. Did he also get offered a knighthood? Or was it something Holmes did alone?

Ah yes, another scam à la The Red-Headed League. Even has the dead American billionaire. I feel like criminals in these stories should come up with better plots than to use the first common feature they share with whoever they're tricking. It's a bit obvious.

It's funny that Holmes can immediately tell everything he was just told is a lie. Like usually he'll wait a bit or let Watson take a crack but no, it's just all lies. Everything was quite untrue.

Watson's description of N. Garrideb here is funny cause he describes him like "gaunt, looks like a corpse, dead skin, doesn't exercise," and then ends it with:

But altogether he seemed pretty nice.

This whole thing is obviously a scam, even if Holmes doesn't know what the score is yet. I do wonder though if anybody has written a version of these types of stories where Holmes gets involved and it turns out to all be true, and it's a genuine eccentric billionaire with a weird will.

Good of Holmes to play along. I forget if this third Garrideb is also part of the scam or another victim of it, but I guess I'll find out.
