katikat"The Presbury Letters" by katie forsythe, read by mific | Holmes/Watson | It's WWI. Holmes is stuck in London. Watson in France. They write letters to each other. | 1hr. 56min.
This is, hands down, the best book canon story I've ever come across. Holmes and Watson are in their sixties and still deeply in love with each other. Even though they can't express their feelings for each other openly in their letters for fear of discovery, it still shines brightly. And Mycroft is amazing in this fic. His relationship with his little brother, his care... It's wonderful.
And mific's reading... Her voice is so deep and full of melancholy. It's perfect for this fic!
I walked over to the window and stood just behind him. We are not the sort given to displays. So I leaned my forearms on his broad back and stared out at London with him. It was dirty, of course, but full of ancient stones and steadfast trees and courageous people. My shoulder was stiff, and would be stiff forever, but I had forgotten what hope feels like. It feels quite decadent. So I leaned companionably on my brother, calculating when my husband would come home.
