Reccer's comments: This is a story about werewolves, but it is also a story about relationships. We have Mycroft's POV which is slightly less enigmatic/antagonistic than in the tv show, which allows for a gentle telling about him coming to grips when something in his life changes. John only has two appearances in this fic, but he is as awesome and hilarious as usual ("Shut up, Sherlock! I just asked if your brother was having puppies! Oh god!") I actually ended up feeling sympathy for Sherlock, as you can almost feel his hurt and frustration of not being a wolf. As well we have Anthea as a PA/minder! Nicely written with a story that seemlessly combines good characterizations of the BBC characters as well as interesting "werewolf world-building". This fic will leave you feeling fuzzy by the end!

Excerpt: Mycroft never really trusted his memory of events during the full moon. As the brain changed its shape, so did it change its function; his memories as a wolf must be filtered through his human understanding, and vice versa. Therefore, his memories were interpretations, and not strictly true.

But there was no doubt that this interpretation was accurate: there had been another wolf.
