Summary
“Through the window that overlooks the modest lawn of our farm-house, I can see Sherlock Holmes strolling among his beehives. His hair is quite white, but his long, thin form is as wiry and energetic as ever, and there is a touch of healthy colour in his cheeks, placed there by Mother Nature and her clover-laden breezes that carry the scent of the sea amid these gentle Sussex Downs. Our lives are drawing towards eventide.”
— “The Adventure of the Red Widow”, Adrian Conan Doyle

Summary
At first, the wonder of his resurrection had blazed so bright that I saw nothing else. Joy, joy impossible had been returned to me; death itself had been undone. But as the miracle faded into everyday light I began to see that time had not been likewise reversed; time had done its implacable work. He was not the same as he had been.

Summary
The recovery of Edward Teach, briefly the Kraken, always the love of Stede Bonnet's life; and how he finds every fine thing in the world can be his after all.
“It’s just six weeks after they’ve left Bonnet’s little rags-and-sparkles crew behind to build one the Kraken could command, and he’s spent not one day of it sober. He’s doing the ‘untouchable legendary terror’ thing. He’s doing it no holds barred. No more dawdling around deck singing songs and telling stories; he’s made it known they’re out for blood. If he’d picked the people he thought he had, they should be drooling for it. But the crew has been giving him looks. Fang in particular—he could swear Fang almost seems sorry for him.”

Summary
I think of myself as a practical woman. I am proud to say that I have always been able to manage my household in the most efficient manner, purchasing only what is of good quality without requiring any unnecessary expenses. I have one possession, however, that is an exception to that rule. This is the story of how not only one but two of my tenants returned to Baker Street, and how I came to own one of London’s finest tea services as a result.
Mr Holmes returns. Dr Watson leaves. Mrs Hudson realises that London’s greatest detective might require a little assistance with winning the good doctor back.

Summary
Standing outside the centre, Stede stared at the handle of the door as if it might bite him.
If he’d thought about it, he could have cancelled within the 24-hour cancellation window, but he hadn’t. He should have. He really should have. But it was too late now and he either had the choice of walking away and losing the payment or going in.
Would it be so bad to lose out on the money?
After all, it wasn’t as if he was short of it.
But he’d–
He wanted to go.
He’d wanted to go ever since he’d heard about it, and yes, all right, he and Mary had already been on shaky ground when he booked a couples’ session six months in advance for Valentine’s day, but now that it was here, he didn’t want to cancel.Bookmarked by A_Candle_For_Sherlock

Summary
“When I was a child,” Stede says slowly, faraway and nostalgic. “My mother - she never really spent much time in the kitchen, of course; we had dedicated household staff that handled all the cooking, but there was one thing she used to make herself. She’d melt brown sugar until it bubbled, and it was just on this side of burnt, but not quite? And she’d pour it out and let it harden in these big sheets of transparent, amber-coloured toffee. I used to break off shards and suck it into razor-sharp points; would run around pretending I had a knife, or a prison shank. They made excellent props when playing at being a pirate.”
Stede is sort of lost in the tangent. He’s good at telling stories, even real-life ones, and Ed finds himself getting a bit lost in it, too.
“Your eyes are like that,” says Stede.
“When the sunlight gets them. Like the taste of it. Smoky and sweet,” says Stede.
“Like melty, burnt toffee. They’re so lovely, Ed,” says Stede.
These are the things that Ed collects.
(OR: Ed keeps buried treasure after all. Stede finds his secret stash. Post S2 oneshot with Big Ed feelings as he slowly comes to grips with the fact that he's VERY loved - but we already knew that)

Summary
Crowley hiccups. It turns into a burp. “Angel,” he repeats, and if it sounds soppy, well, what do you expect. Crowley is three winds—sheets—anyway he’s shitfaced. It’s not like Aziraphale doesn’t know Crowley’s in love with him. It’s not like it’s a secret. It’s not like Crowley hasn’t lived with the mortification of being known down to the molecule every day for six thousand years.
Why is he here again? Oh yes.
“I need your help.”
*
It turns out glitter is miracle-proof and, also, that it itches. Crowley needs some help preening. He gets a bit more than he bargained for.
