Snowflake Challenge 8: Recs

Three Sherlock Holmes works.

The first is a BBC Sherlock fic which takes us back to the good old days of fandom when we were just trying to get these two blokes to express their feelings for one another.

Over our spoken words the words unspoken
Shouted like trumpets, and like violins
Were the deep after-tones that circled round us.
Now a new year begins!

Solstice, Josephine Johnson (1936)
***
On the longest night of the year, John finds his words and takes a chance.

The second is some ACD fan art which has a quiet sweetness to it. And reminds us how young the lads were when they started their adventures.

Summary:

Post-case, Holmes was too tired to reach his bedroom.

And, lastly, because I'm very much into Neil Gaiman's "A Study in Emerald" AU myself, a splendid take on "The Dying Detective" in this Lovecraftian 'verse.

Summary:

For a man not used to frailty or illness it is a peculiar experience to be faced with visitors while abed in one's nightclothes. How much more peculiar, then, to greet an opponent in such a fashion!

Crafts: Mini Library - Paintings and Flowers

This is the last post about mi laberinto for a few weeks. I did the 24 paintings (cutting out the pictures and gluing the pictures to the frames and gluing the stand to the back of 2) and the flowers [cutting and rolling paper around the stamens, rolling leaves round the flowers, tying the bouquets (3) and fitting the other flowers in the 2 vases.] All of these were very tiny. There are a few additions (decorations to be glued to shelves and things, like maps, to be laid about), but nothing else requires putting together except the room itself.
