Fic: Common to the Race
May. 1st, 2019 07:21 amWell I was feeling sort of down & anxiety-ridden, so I decided to retreat to (an iteration of) my fandom of origin and write a cheery, comforting little story about death. As one does. For an excellent spiritualism-related prompt on the Victorian Holmes kinkmeme, which interested parties should check out. :-)

Summary:
July 1895.
Or, Holmes thought—unwilling, bracing himself against it, halting where he stood with his eyes screwed shut but his cursed brain would insist upon doing the thing completely—perhaps bloody Watson wanted something so desperately that this villain had hooked him, body and mind.
