"Good morning. What is it, then?" I asked, ducking down to kiss his sleeved arm where it lay draped over my shoulder.

"Don't know," he muttered sleepily into my neck. He invests his words with absurdly lilting and alliterative poetry in the early mornings, stringing them into silly little rhymes or blank verses when he is just awakening, and not yet fully on his guard. This was one of his better efforts, so I smiled at him in the mirror. He nuzzled further into my neck in response, like a great grey and black cat. "There's coffee on the table, darling, and I have a cab at the door."

I want to seriously cuddle this fic. Not only is it amazingly read, the story itself is so incredibly heartwarming. The love Holmes has for Watson in this story shines like the sun on a clear day. Sweet...
