COMPLETED Watson goes on a journey to find out Holmes's past while Holmes goes on a journey back to the time when he knew a certain girl who changed his life. This is not a specific fanfiction as to who acts as Holmes or Watson. It can be anyone you choose. Slight smut. This book may seen short but it's a lot longer than it looks. I put in a lot of time and work into this book. I believe it's very well written and I hope you will think so too.
