Reccer's comments: I'm reccing these as one, because they really ought to be read together. It's a canon AU in which Dr Watson finds himself suddenly caring for two orphaned boys whose circumstances are nothing short of extraordinary. Even though their ages have been greatly reduced, the Holmes brothers are still very recognisable in their character without having the effect of being a couple of grown men in children's bodies. And if there's a bit of adventure and peril along the way, well... all's the better, really.
