Summary
John Watson returns from the Boer war, she had been a Doctor and a hero and now she had nothing. Injury had ruined her chance to train as a surgeon and running out of funds and she was stuck in the grey fog of London in January 1903.
Only meeting Sherlock Holmes could improve things.

In which Ginny feels broken and Pansy is silent.
I wrote this when I was 18, in 2003. I am keeping my original notes, in a lot of ways this is my own little slice of fandom history - I do hope I am not embarrassed by it.

Summary
Answering two of the important questions left from The Abominable Bride.....
1. When Dr Watson was talking to the paper vendor - where did Holmes poke him to make make him jump so much?
2. When they got back to Baker Street - what was in the hat box?This is celebratory, thesis submission smut. I do hope you enjoy it.

Summary
Inspired by Molly from The Abominable Bride! Her cross dressing, tough characterisation was amazing. Now - just imagine that she met Dr Sarah Sawyer, one of the early women Doctors and gave her a few tips....
I can't quite decide yet if this sits in the same universe as Facades of Respectability. It hadn't occurred to me to have my Dr Hooper be cross dressing at work (actually I think it is more likely that Dr Hooper in Facades is trans rather than a woman wearing men's clothes).

Summary
Ilya was good at noticing things about people, and he was good at understanding them. Shane was not. That was okay. Shane had developed his own way of getting to know Ilya. It involved a lot of inane questions and, more importantly, no longer involved condoms.

Fantastic- I love Shane topping from the bottom, I love how hungry Ilya is. I love the detail of the bulking and the exercises. This fiche is so lush

Summary
Ilya’s dad dies right before the 2017 All-Star Game, so he never learns that Shane and Rose broke up. While he’s in Russia, a threat from his brother makes him ask Svetlana for help and marry her so he can get a US green card—it’s meant to be a discreet, simple thing, but the Boston tabloids get a hold of it and then it’s all over social media. Three months later, Shane Hollander holds a press conference to share two things: he's leaving Montreal to play for the Ottawa Centaurs, and he's gay.

Fantastic series - from hot sex from Shane 's growing confidence to a brilliant second part on ilya's depression to a third act on injury and recovery. I really liked how it was unafraid of the darker emotions.

Gorgeous and detailed from an actual russian learner - so it has the sweetest, most meditative humane detail. I want to swim in it

Summary
Sometimes they’re curled up on the bed together afterwards and Shane runs his hands up and down Ilya’s body, rhythmic and smooth, touching just to touch. Ilya is stunning in the literal sense of the word: Shane is paralyzed by him, struck dumb. Desire may never be a problem here, but understanding is: Ilya feels distant and incomprehensible to Shane.
