fic rec: The Pillar Upon Which England Rests
Title: The Pillar Upon Which England Rests
Author: DiscordantWords
Pairings: Sherlock & Mrs Hudson, Sherlock/John
Length: 27038 words
Rating: Mature
Verse: BBC
Author's summary: They have all saved him, at one time or another, in different ways, these people Sherlock Holmes has come to call friends. But she was the first.
Reccer's comments: Happy Valentine's Day! In honor of the holiday, here's a different sort of love story: this wonderful fic about Mrs Hudson's love for her boy, Sherlock. The present-day framework of this fic takes place directly after Reichenbach, with Mrs Hudson trying to comfort a grieving John by telling him the story of how she met Sherlock. This fic became my head canon as soon as I read it. Its compassionate depiction of a younger Mrs Hudson and a barely-grown Sherlock, and the backstory of how Mrs Hudson got out of Florida and Sherlock got her husband convicted, are masterfully done, and the characterization is fantastic. DiscordantWords is new to the fandom, and we're lucky to have their lovely writing. :)

And dammit, I'm starting to choke up a bit even now. I know I'm a little overemotional, but I promise it's that fricken good.
