FIC: Masked Ball. 9/11.(H/W)

As you may have seen, I published today's chapter early, but I didn't get a chance to link here as it's my birthday and I was off shopping with my mother in Brighton, where  we failed to buy anything. No, anything at all. Unless you count a couple of doughnuts.

Six months after Holmes’ return from the dead, the delicate equilibrium in Baker Street is disturbed when a stranger walks out of the London fog with a case – for Watson. Holmes is wary, Watson is fascinated. But who is the man calling himself Álvaro de León? And what does he really want?

In this chapter: HEARTBREAK,  REPRESSION, ANGST AND MISERY.  (coz it's my birthday.)
