Reccer's comments: This is one of my personal “golden oldies” (not that old, really, but it was pre-Sherlock and that makes it seem like ages) to which I love to return from time to time. Especially when I’m once again working myself into frustration over the ending ACD presented us with in canon. But the good thing about it is that he gave us ample room to play, and this fic proves that the very facts that can be so angsty and frustrating may be transformed into a (still somewhat angsty, but very hopeful) story that not only satisfies the reader, but very likely also two lonely fictional characters who should not be separated by their heartless brilliant creator.
In short, it’s a heart-warming fix-it in which not all is sugar and candies, but it really doesn’t have to be.
