Reccer's comments: Out of the fics I have read from the [livejournal.com profile] holmestice exchange, this is the one that has stuck with me the most. It's creative, innovative, well-crafted, mysterious and - fittingly - haunting. The language is suggestive, complex, and does a wonderful job of marrying content to form. You will find yourself thrown in and out of conversations, moments of connection between characters, memories,... And throughout it you will feel the deepening chill of the gentle ghost that is this story getting into your brain. It's hard to say very much about this story without spoiling it - just read it, I urge you. You will not be disappointed.

This was written before S3, so there are no spoilers in this story.

(Mods, could I have a sh/mary morstan tag, please? Thank you!)
