Author: by jupiter_ash
Pairing: Gen
Length: 5,058 words
Rating:PG
Warnings:Mentions of domestic abuse.
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary:Ever wondered about Mrs Holmes and what sort of a woman it would take to raise someone like Sherlock? Well, here’s one version.

Reccer's comments: In honor of Mother's Day I'm going to rec my favorite story about Sherlock's "mummy". jupiter_ash does a wonderful job in showing us a woman raising a child that the rest of the world doesn't understand. Your heart will break along with hers but in the end you can see how much influence a loving mother can have. This is a gen story with hints of m/m. Really the focus is on the relationship between mother and son which is perfect for today.

We ask in the guidelines that "warnings" not be given for homosexuality or slash. Really, the only things we ask that reccers should warn for are character death, underage sex, extreme violence, or rape. If I didn't spot similar warnings in other recs since the guidelines were posted, I apologize.

I suppose this is as good a time as any to ask then, as I'm reccing in July; when we copy/paste the author's headers, should we delete warnings for slash? Because I'd just assumed everything would be left as originally posted, and then we'd add anything else we thought might be relevant in our own comments afterward.

Yes, please do delete warnings for slash. It's not necessary to include the author's warnings.
This was my error, above. We mods had discussed a policy on warnings at length, but it didn't make it into the guidelines! It does say, in the template, to include warnings only if necessary, and please not to warn for slash, but that's not very illuminating.

We'd prefer if you only included warnings for major issues. We will have a longer post about this asap.

Okay, great. Thanks for the clarification!
