fic rec: The Good Old Days
Title: The Good Old Days
Author: cathedral_carver
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Length: 6254 words
Rating: Teen
Verse: BBC
Author's summary: How did it get so late so soon?
Reccer's comments: This really captures both the beauty of long-standing love and the pathos of being near the end of life. The emotions and imagery are immediate and visceral, and the structure is great as well; the way this flips back and forth between their youth and old age only makes it more affecting. It's lovely and heartbreaking work, and one of my favorite Retirementlock fics.

ETA: Practical Johnkeeping is another great retirement fic, just in case you haven't read it. :)
