I’m not sure if it’ll ever be completed, but can you reassure me that wherever they ended up, our boys are okay, happy? I just need to envision it ♥️

They're alright, secret person ❤️ They always will be. I promise. I’m not working on their story at the moment - very simply, I couldn’t handle a worldwide pandemic and Helen Lestrade at the same time. Some villains are easy and enjoyable to write, even though they’re villains. Helen isn’t one of those. I made the decision to let Dr Holmes and his Greg rest where they were, at a safe point, until a time when I can give them my full attention and do their story justice.

Chapter four of A Matter of Evidence (part three of the Dr Holmes series) is now available to read on AO3.

The third story in the Dr Holmes series, A Matter of Evidence, has now started posting on AO3.

Dr Mycroft Holmes never expected to fall in love, least of all with a married former patient, but the time for second thoughts is long gone. Though Greg has escaped his abusive ex-partner Helen, her discovery of their affair now threatens everything. Mycroft's entire future is on the line.

All his life, Greg longed for the quiet and supportive love that he's found in Mycroft. He doesn't intend to surrender his newfound happiness without a fight. If Helen wishes to ruin Mycroft's life, she'll have to come through Greg—and she'll have to prove her allegations, too.

As they struggle to protect their forbidden bond from the world, Greg and Mycroft find themselves pushed to their very limits.

Deep breath before I type this ❤️ I’m not well. I’ve not been well for a while, if I’m honest. I’ve come down with a bad case of 2020, my partner’s on the brink of losing her job, and there’s not a lot I can do about it. We’re in a situation where I roll a dice each morning and see who’s going to be in charge of the brain today. Sometimes it’s a good result. Sometimes it’s just not.

So Dr Holmes is a tough WIP to be running at the minute. I’m nervous that I’m ruining the story. I’ve lost a lot of readers to 2020 along the way, and having the whole thing stolen earlier this week hasn’t helped.

It means updates are going to be sporadic for a while. Dr Holmes has survived one hiatus already - he can handle another. I’ve put 200,000 words into the series now, so the last thing I want to do is to plough ahead and drive it off the rails. 

I just need a few weeks to look after myself, write some short and fluffy stuff. 

All my instincts are screaming at me to apologise and beg forgiveness for letting you all down. But treating myself like a vending machine is part of the problem, so instead I’ll just say I hope you understand. 

TLDR - me, proceeding through this year:
