Hi! I wanted to say that I love your account that helps people find their favorite Sherlolly fics. I'm looking for one and wanted help. It's an AU of the 1995 movie While You Were Sleeping, it takes place at Christmas and the author changed the time to the 60s or 50s, I can't remember exactly. Mycroft is the one who ends up in a coma. I really wanted to read it but I can't find it at all. I remember it being posted on AO3. Please, help me!
Thank you, i'm always glad to hellp!
Although it's set in the aftermath of the Great War, I'm pretty sure the fic you're looking for is While You Laid Sleeping (A Holmes for the Holidays) by @theresawritesstuff. It is currently unfinished but a great read and an excellent adaptation of the film. Here's the author's summary:
Molly Hooper expected to spend her Christmas after the Great War much as she had the last few Christmases...Alone. Instead, an incident at the train station leads to a case of mistaken identity leaving the Holmes family thinking she is their eldest son's fiancee. Despite her nagging conscience, Molly finds herself unable to correct them, feeling the love of a family for the first time in a very long time. Soon Molly is faced with a choice. Lose her chance at being part of a family again or lose her chance at love with her supposed fiance's dashing younger brother...
