I've also been reading this really moving fic, Since First I Saw Your Face and had to draw this scene from chapter 1 :)

The original version (under the cut) had speech bubbles but I felt it still looked nice w/o.

Saw the email notice today that a new chapter of “Since First I Saw Your Face” dropped. Without hesitation, left work for the day and curled up in bed to read it. I have zero regrets.

So @tyrannosaurusnacks and I talked about that one scene after Speckled Band in @artemisastarte's brilliant Since First I Saw Your Face, and I could not keep myself from making this meme for a target audience of 5 people

I am very slowly working my way through Since First I Saw Your Face by @artemisastarte and going absolutely insane because it's so incredibly good.

I need more people to talk about this fic, it's massive and so beautifully written with an incredible depth of historical detail that it really deserves a fandom in its own right.

I have to read it slowly because otherwise I'm pretty sure I'll perish from the intensity of Holmes' pining, and because there's so much fascinating detail and depth to the characters that it deserves to be savoured.

is it unhinged to say that Since First I Saw Your Face is like, my favorite transformative Sherlock Holmes thing ever? for an (insanely) period accurate setting + story, idk if you can do better. granted, since it's a huge slowburn romance novel, there aren't a bunch of mysteries. it isn't trying to fill that niche. but when there is an original mystery, it's compelling and fits the themes of the story, while ALSO being based on real historical events from newspaper clippings. this makes my soul happy.

i think i should watch Elementary before making grand sweeping claims about favorites, but SFISYF is up there no matter what.

"Since First I Saw Your Face" will be the end of me, I'm almost 2/3 through and already dead inside
