Title: Home is Where
Author: rat_chan
Pairing: Basil/Dawson, with past Basil/Ratigan
Length: 2180 words
Rating: PG
Warnings: Mentions of (canon) character death.
Verse: Great Mouse Detective
Author's summary: Dawson comes home to (yet again) find Basil in deep contemplation of Ratigan's portrait. He's not sure why this bothers him so much, but he is very sure why he's shocked when Basil explains about his and Ratigan's secret past...

Reccer's comments: This is somehow both hilarious and kind of heartbreaking. Hilarious because THEY ARE MICE. They are so clearly mice. rat_chan does a marvelous job of keeping the fact that these are anthropomorphic rodents very clear without making it heavy-handed or intrusive on the narrative. They've also managed to make Ratigan a vaguely sympathetic character which takes some skill, imo, since all the movie gave us was a one-dimensional villain. And also, what could be more adorable than anthropomorphic mice in love?

I think we need a Great Mouse Detective tag up in here!
