The Beating of My Heart

[charlotteyonge]

He doesn’t know that I can still see him when I close my eyes.

Sometimes I think your heart beats only when there’s a case, he once joked to me.

He is, of course, referring to my periods of stagnation where I might lie for days unmoving on the settee. But he could not be more mistaken in his observation.

My heart beats for him and him alone.

There there! *hands croc a kleenex*

I don't begrudge anyone their excitement over the latest interpretation of Holmes, but I miss canon H/W, too. It's okay. There will always be canon. Stay tuned for more on that next week...*wink*

Sadly, a happy ending did not occur to me. But thanks for reading. :(

Oh.My.God. This was beautiful in a tear your poor heart out sort of way.

I'll just be over here, now, crying in the corner ;(

[charlotteyonge]

Aw. Did your poor heart find its way back in?

I really liked this.

I'm glad. Thanks for reading!

Well MY heart is in little sobbing pieces, I'll have you know. Which means, of course 'Well done!' as this was beautiful and painful in equal measure. As usual, you've excelled.

Of course this one goes into memories, too.

Thank you so much! As you probably know, I'm a little out of my element with something this melancholy. I'm glad to know it worked for you.
