Oh, that was delightful and tremendously sweet! I loved Watson's seaweed kiss and hot-food-filching :) And Mrs. Hudson's article allowed her affection to shine through. That last little scene between her and Holmes was simply adorable, and her musings on running a house that was also a home were very apt.

Charming!

Thank you!

Thank you for this lovely fic. Such enjoyable scenes; and having her, too, write for a magazine was a great idea.

[piplover]

Thank you!

Oooh, lovely! Great to see Mrs. Hudson's view of her tenants. :)

[piplover]

I imagine she must have had a lot to say!!

Like any mother, scolding her boys but ready to fight like a wolf to defend them from outsiders.

[piplover]

Exactly! Mrs. Hudson knows how special her boys are.

Oh, crikey - this is wonderful. You have perfectly appealed to my sense of humour - you really have ^___^

Some favourite lines:

And let us not forget the horrible range of stragglers - er, clients - clomping up my stairs at all hours of the day.

One night, perhaps a fortnight ago, I came across Mr. Holmes in the kitchen, digging through the pantry at gone three in the morning, mumbling to himself about corsets and stockings. He was, somewhat unexpectedly, dressed as a woman.

And especially:

The tendrils of seaweed hanging off of one shoulder, however, marred his appearance slightly.

“Mrs, Hudson, Holmes has done it again! He’s gone and fallen into the harbor, taking nearly half of Scotland Yard and the dock workers with him.*topples slowly over laughing, while giving a thumbs-up
