Rating - General
Characters - Sherlock, John
Spoilers - Through "The Reichenbach Fall"
Disclaimer - I don't own them and I don't make money off of them, but I don't like to dwell on that, so let's move on.
Summary - While he's dead, Sherlock writes John letters.
Author's Notes - I know that you're probably expecting some teenage antics but it's a holiday week here in the States so things are a bit discombobulated. We will shortly return to your regularly scheduled schoolboy shenanigans.
This was the sort of fic that writes itself when you're not looking. I have no idea where it came from, just that it sprang forth fully formed without my even realizing it, and here it is. I warn you, it is VERY angsty, straight through to the end, and that is not at all like me, and I confess that the more I think about this fic, the more I think that it's just a prologue, and that I have much more to tell about the Sherlock Holmes who wrote these letters and the John Watson he wrote them to. I just haven't the energy right now to dive into it, but I sense it's coming, very soon.
It's sort of an odd thing to post on Thanksgiving, but I can use it as an excuse to say: I give thanks for all of *you.* Genuinely. You have all been wonderful and interesting to get to know (whether you are a years-old familiar name or a brand new one), and each comment you leave brings me great delight and joy. Seriously, thank you. For those of you, like me, celebrating a day of gratitude today, I wish you a lovely holiday. And for all of you, I wish much happiness to you and your loved ones.
An additional heartfelt thank-you toflawedamythyst, who kindly agreed to beta and Britpick and hence got exposed to the number of commas I scatter over fics that pour out of me the way this one did...
This fic is for my usual beta,arctacuda, who once noted that betas seldom get to be surprised by fic appearing on their beta-ee's (?) LJ. So: here you are! Surprise!
