[holmesticemods]

Title: I am no mother, I am king
Recipient: tepidspongebath
Author: armchair_elvis
Verse: Mary Russell Series
Characters/Pairings: Holmes/Watson, Holmes/Russell, Mycroft Holmes, Louise Holmes (aka Holmes' long lost mother)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Suicide attempts, general mention of suicide, recreational drug use
Summary: Hi tepidspongebath. You asked for magical realism. This fic is decidedly unmagical, I thought it would work as a good Holmestice treat, since it's my way of trying to get my head around the newest female character in this canon, it's in the Russell!verse, and there are shades of Holmes/Watson with period-specific attitudes.
