Author: REDACTED
Verse: Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking (2004)
Characters/Pairings:
Sherlock Holmes & John Watson, Jenny Vandeleur/John Watson, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Rating: Teen and up, for a couple of mild references to drug use and violence, but both are canon-typical.
Warnings: none
Summary: The Silk Stocking case is Holmes' last. After he retires to Sussex, Jenny knows better than her husband exactly what Sherlock Holmes needs.
To my recipient:
Hi, Ghostbees. I hope this story fulfils your desire for character-centred musings and introspective portraits; I've tried to facilitate that by bringing Jenny to the foreground.
This is a retirement-era fic, but cosy domesticity is always juuust off waiting in the wings.
This Holmes is happily gay, and I used Jenny's (canonical) tolerance to avoid any period-typical homophobia, but I hope you'll forgive me for letting Jenny realise that fact well in advance of her husband.
