title and author:
Housekeeping by Carolyn Claire
rating: R for language, violence
WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!: It is a very dark fic (srsbsns). There is a horrible character death (not described in detail, but the implications enough might be triggering).
summary: Jim Moriarty meets Mrs. Hudson.
why?: I have seen nothing like this in this fandom before. Mrs. Hudson quite lovely in a very special way. I am sitting here completely gobsmacked.
quote: The knit-wrapped, fluffy-haired old soul who peered through the gap was almost too perfect to be real, a faded beauty with gentle, inquisitive eyes. Such a sin to contemplate laying violent hands on the dear thing; such delicious anticipation of the act. And what depths of self-recrimination for Sherlock, once he returned from his ridiculous wild-goose chase to find his surrogate mum spirited away and his note waiting in her place.
