The Freezing Moor

[knightfury1895]

I shivered in my saddle and allowed my mount to slow its pace. The snow that had been falling lightly when Holmes and I had left the inn in search of further data for my companion's case (though what even Sherlock Holmes could find on that bleak, snow-coated moor in such conditions I could not imagine) had become a disorientating, vision-reducing

I really did enjoy your story ^^ You have such a way with description - building up a substantial and believable world. And your characterisations are wonderful. It was so touching how well Holmes looked after Watson. (It did make me smile though, how he knew what he had to do but still announced he was bored doing it ^_^) A charming portrait of their friendship.

Thank you very much - what wonderful feedback! I am rather sensitive to the cold, I must confess, so it was not a very difficult subject for me. I rather enjoyed Holmes' care of Watson myself and I am very glad that you enjoyed it.

Oh my ... ^w^ I love stories in which Holmes takes care of Watson.
And your characterisation is perfect. Especially Holmes - seeing about everything despite his own condition, no matter how mundane the task is, because it is Watson's well-being on the stake. Charming story. ^^

Thank you very much! I am glad that you enjoyed it. Yes, good old Holmes - I always remember the level of care that he showed Watson in A Study in Scarlet, when they were still coming to know one another. He can be much kinder than he is often given credit for - particularly when it is for the doctor's sake, as you said yourself.

Many thanks indeed.

Marvelous!!! Thank you so much for providing an enjoyable bit of Thanksgiving fanfic to keep me company as I was doing my holiday baking! I put this new offering into my text to speech reader and quite thoroughly enjoyed it while I worked. I also enjoyed the previous part as well.
I loved everything about this story and I also give special props to you as a writer for being astute enough to realize that a bit of Watson was not coming off as being very much like a trained doctor. What you wrote did a great job of showing that you know this and making the situation understandable. THANK YOU so much for writing ACD Sherlock. I hope you will also consider posting on AO3 if you don't already because that seems to be how most readers of Sherlock Holmes fic can obtain updates to stories they want to follow.

Next time I get stuck in heavy snow I will think of this story! A lovely Christmas read! :)
