Alright, guys. Most of you wanted this up now, so up it goes! For those of you who wanted me to wait and post it in parts when it's all finished, fear not--it's aaaaalmost done, and I know exactly where I'm going with it. It shouldn't be too long.

Also, a little bit of backstory: this was only supposed to be like 2,000 words long. wave_of_sorrow was seeking some sick!Holmes over at shkinkmeme and I said ahahahaha I could write it in the TA!Holmes verse and she graciously allowed this perversion of her prompt and then...well. Uh. It became the sequel. Also, it became a Christmas fic in the middle of July! Written by a Jew! I'm so crazy, you guys. SOMEBODY STOP ME.

So, without further ado, the first of probably many sequel to History, Repeating Itself. This is the first part; the next will go up as soon as it is done. I'm not splitting this into chapters because I can't be arsed, but hopefully the whole thing doesn't pass 20,000 words. *Fingers crossed*

Title: Valley Winter Song (Part One)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Holmes/Watson
Verse: TA!Holmes
Summary: In which John Watson discovers that life in hiding is not so lonely as it seems.
Author's Note: Yes, the title is a reference to a song by the band Fountains of Wayne. Yes, that band who wrote that Stacy's Mom song. Yes, I know that is mortifying--the truth is, it came on my iTunes shuffle when I was drafting the first part and the line "short days spent puttering around in a dark house with the windows painted shut" SO ACCURATELY described what I was trying to...you know what, there's no excuse. Just know that I had my reasons.

A brief note: THIS IS THE END, GUYS. All the chapters and anything I do in this 'verse can be found under my History Repeating Itself tag. I am planning to do some side stories, including the Miles/Irene story and maybe a companion piece/sequel to this from Holmes' POV. Also, there will be a post up at some point in the near future where you can ask Holmes and Watson questions and they'll, uh, answer you. So feel free to check that out. I posted mad, mad thanks over at the meme, and I will do a full acknowledgment here tomorrow when it's like, real people hours, but the concept bears repeating: SERIOUSLY, THANK YOU, YOU GUYS. YOU HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLE, YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE WITH YOUR COMMENTS, AND THIS ENTIRE THING IS BELONG YOU YOU <3

Dear iTunes,

Um, it's not that I don't appreciate what you're getting at, but "Low Rider" is not appropriate for Holmes/Watson porn. It's just not.

I see what you did there,
Me

Dear Holmes,

STOP DITHERING ABOUT AND GET WATSON'S COCK IN YOUR MOUTH ALREADY. I know you're brilliant and verbose and everything but HURRY IT UP.

Please to be making with the whoopie,
Me
