I added an after-note that the circumstance of Lord Anthony Holmes having disappeared in Borneo on an expedition when Sherlock was a child was the subject of Chapter 3 of my fic "The Irresistibility of Orbits: The Forgetting of Things Past". (The one where John had amnesia.)

I've been plotting this story arc for a while; I didn't want anyone to think that that I just threw the Holmes family connection in as a Hail Mary. Although this is the first we learn of their grandfather, Reginald St John Holmes' connection to the Borneo story.

More about Borneo, and the Holmeses, and possibly Sanjay Singh, in the next updates . . .

Thanks for the props.<3 I am kinda evil. In a good way;-)

Yay! For reading the older stories!
I have mentioned Lord Holmes and his disappearance in Borneo on a few occasions scattered through the fics; but Ch 3 of "Forgetting of Things Past" was the fullest discussion of it.
I doubt many readers have your excellent recall:) I sometimes have a time to keep it all straight in my own mind.

Well, it would be a daunting undertaking at this point! There are six adventures in the series before the Hitchcock, starting rather short at less than 8,000 words for the first and each getting longer, and looonnnggger! And of course the early adventures are all John and Sherlock but also about Lestrade's unrequited love for John, but obviously you know how that turned out!!

If you want your humble author's rec, the best of all the older adventures is my English country house mystery, "Irresisitibility of Orbits, The Forgetting of Things Past.".

Otherwise, hold on tight for updates to the Mystrade madness of All Souls' Day:)

I so *love* this attitude. There can never be *too much* epic fanfic, dear writer<3 Never.
