Reccer's comments: We haven’t had an ACD Holmes verse rec in awhile, so here’s a fantastic read. This is one of the must reads of Holmes/Watson fandom. It has everything you could want from Victorian homoeroticism: rentboys, blackmail and homosexual angst. It’s also got a great dose of pining!Holmes. I’m a sucker for pining!Holmes. It’s a great read, and something everything Holmes/Watson shipper should keep on their hardrive.
