Fic Rec: Two linked stories by NLR Alicia
Title: The Case of the Missing Flatmate
Author: NLR Alicia
Pairing: Holmes/Watson
Length: Not given, middling (under 10K)
Rating: PG
Verse: Book canon
Author's summary This first story was written for the folks at HolmesSlash on 22 December 2007 and was inspired by a lot of things, including a lifelong love of these characters, a Christmas story by Margery Allingham, and the stunning graphic-novella saga Doctor Watson’s Inner Monologue, written and illustrated by Elina and Katri
The Case of the Missing Flatmate
Title: Carol of the Bees
Author: NLR Alicia
Pairing: Holmes/Watson
Length: see above
Rating: Rish
Verse: Book canon
Author's summary;This story takes place between the Body and the Epilogue of The Case of the Missing Flat Mate. You can read it alone, but…well, you get the idea.
Carol of the Bees
Reccer's comments: Being an approaching oldie myself, I have a particular soft spot for retirement era fics, and Carol of the Bees is so eloquent in its depiction of abiding passion, long-kept secrets, hurt and forgiveness and a Holmes who really *isn't* a hidden romantic, but is nonetheless capable of deep committment, that I re-read it often. The Case of the Missing Flatmate fills in the essential background and is a nice first-time tale all by itself too. Sadly this talented writer (more of whose work I will be reccing this month) does not seem to be writing for Holmes fandom any more... unless you know otherwise ;-)?
