FIC: Masked Ball. 10/11.(H/W)

[waid]

Just barely managing to meet today's "deadline" -- I wanted to tweak this chapter slightly to add more sexy and I've been busy with pro work, also have been feeling vaguely ill all day but seem to be better now.

---
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: MOAR heartbreak, repression, angst and misery... which  reaches a crisis point outside Watson's bedroom.
