Summary: In a world where everybody has a set deathday, Sherlock Holmes is the only person who can see them. As with most talents, it's both a blessing and a curse. Because Death is a fixed point. Indelible, unchangeable, inevitable. It can't be altered, cheated or delayed

Or can it?

Author's note: This fic is complete with six chapters. The first two are posted, and the rest will follow every few days until finished, which will be before Christmas. It was more than a year in the making, and I'm excited to finally be able to share it with you.  It took a veritable village to make this story possible, and my gratitude and love are duly expressed in the story notes.

Chasing Taxis and spotting signs in Soho

[quarryquest.livejournal.com]

I know everyone is pulling their hair out and biting down their nails waiting for the new episodes (not long now) but I've been busying myself to keep my mind off things. I've been tidying up my photos folders and getting on with typing up Location Reports. I'm still stuck in Soho in episode one because there is so much to do there, but I made this handy aide-memoire of streets and sign posts after walking around to find them on the ground. As spacefall says, it's a bit of epic fan work finding everything and putting it all together! Tours and visits can be arranged if required.

Title: An Affinity for Bees
Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Word Count: 5,190
Rating: NC-17 (mild)
Warnings: major character death, minor character death mentioned
Spoilers: None
Summary: "The Man No One Liked" universe. The year is 1950, Sherlock and John have retired to Surrey where Sherlock keeps bees, but all stories end, and all hearts are broken.
Author's Note: At last, the long promised, long feared "final" chapter in the TMNOL universe. It was hard to write. I hope it isn't a disappointment. Thoughtfully betated by lawless523, but then abused again by me. All mistakes mine.
