    Summary

    Nell was not prepared for the size and style of the Clippings at Holkham, but a chance meeting with Jenny leads to a farmyard adventure and the realisation that she doesn't have to settle, just because she's married.

    Summary

    My beautiful boy is dozing in his chair right now, his long legs tucked up under him. He has promised to greet the new century with me, to toast the future with a kiss and a glass of wine. Maybe we will dance around our sitting room, ridiculous in our dressing gowns. For now, I will let him sleep, whilst I write up my memoir of the year.

    This is (the final) part of a Victorian AU. It takes place eighteen months after Watson was rescued and reunited with Holmes, on the eve of the new century.

    Summary

    "When I first met John Watson, I had just moved to Baker Street and he had been home from Afghanistan nearly six months. We'd both been evicted about the same time: I for a disagreement with my landlord about chemical experiments and he for a plain and simple lack of cash. My brother had picked up the pieces for me; his had not."

    In which Watson turns to prostitution after his return from Afghanistan, like plenty of other British soldiers, but of course Holmes finds him anyway.

    "A bit of scarlet" is late 19th/early 20th century homosexual slang for sex with a soldier. OBVIOUSLY.

    Summary

    Love was a proven irrationality for men of his kind. To say to anyone, "My heart is yours," would bring on his beloved the permanent threat of being cast off from society, safety, home--Unconscionable. He'd thought the impulse long conquered. Now he saw that time had only distilled it. It was no wild, unfocused longing now, but a concentrated need. To touch a loved face tenderly--it was such a simple thing to be so entirely out of reach.
