221b_recsTitle: On Afghanistan's Plains https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4029558/1/On-Afghanistan-s-Plains
Author: Pompey
Pairing: Gen
Length: 22,839
Rating: K+
Warnings: None, although there is some gore
Verse: ACD books
Author's summary: A look at what happened to Watson, from the Battle of Maiwand to his return to England. As this is a prequel to STUDY IN SCARLET, Holmes makes no appearance whatsoever.
Reccer's comments: Pompey has constructed a fabulously detailed and meticulously researched account of Watson's service in Afghanistan. What was it like to be in the disastrous battle at Maiwand? What exactly did Murray do to save Watson? What were the events that rendered Watson "thin as a lath and brown as a nut" and wrecked his health before his meeting with Sherlock Holmes? This fic could have been adapted as a movie script - it's that good. No slash, but you won't miss it.
