    Summary

    The one miracle to come out of all this was Benoit Blanc. Jud had assumed the detective would solve this case and move onto the next one, vanish out of Jud’s life with the same abruptness as his arrival. And he did disappear, often and swiftly, with few niceties or goodbyes.

    But then a few days later he’d suddenly reappear: be it at hearings where Jud would have otherwise had to battle the tedium of bureaucracy alone, or online, posting statements to cushion some particularly devastating blows against Jud in the media, Benoit Blanc kept cropping up when he was needed the most. 

    Or,

    An exploration of the "one year later" gap, from the moment the diamond falls from Martha's hand to the moment Jud pulls Blanc in for a hug.

    Summary

    Benoit was fourteen when he was finally shipped off to live with his grandparents, given the attic room and not knowing if or when he’d be allowed home. Decades later, with a successful career and a recent divorce under his belt, a certain priest’s bedroom brings back memories of a cramped room and newfound freedom.

    Summary

    The first three stories in this series were written in the late 1990s and have been archived since then at Sacrilege!, a Holmes slash archive maintained by Cress/Miss Roylott. "The Adventure of Downton Abbey" was written in March of 2013; it stands alone, but it is also a kind of coda to the earlier three stories, and includes some references to them. Each can be read as a stand-alone story, though there is continuity. Whether you've already read them or are finding them for the first time now, I hope y'all enjoy.
