[personal profile] verdant_fire
Title: The Greek Problem
Author: candle_beck
Pairing: Holmes/Watson
Length: 13626 words
Rating: Mature
Verse: Ritchie films (though it felt more like ACD to me)
Author's summary: The brainless things people do for love.

Reccer's comments: I hardly ever read ACD fic, but I made an exception for this one, and I'm glad I did.  The writing is just as exquisite as the rest of [livejournal.com profile] candle_beck's work, and the counterpoint of the sadness of the case and the growing happiness in Holmes and Watson's personal lives provides a sort of emotional chiaroscuro that throws everything into sharp relief.  The slow build is masterfully paced, the imagery is striking, and the ending is joyful.
