Summary
Coming on to night shift was no different as far as Maggie was concerned than a daytime one. Oh, she knew that plenty of other nurses hated the night shift, had trouble sleeping, dealing with the ruckus of the drunken patients but it had never bothered her. The only really difference for Maggie was her caffeine intake and that increased plenty as the night went on.

Dressed in a white tailored shirt and pressed wool trousers, a tangle of thinning salt and pepper curls held off the frowning brow by stainless steel rimmed reading glasses, svelte and slightly stooped with age.
Beautiful. Brilliant. Extraordinary.
And his.

Underneath The Veil by Holly Sykes (Artemis8147)

Summary
Lord Sherlock Holmes is a wealthy aristocrat who lives almost like a hermit and indulges in opium-eating and sporadic crime solving. One evening, in the throes of a drug-caused hallucination, he stumbles upon Doctor John Watson. It’s love at first sight for the still-virgin Sherlock, but he’s convinced the other man could never feel the same.
When a renowned painter is killed, Sherlock convinces John to help him with the investigation and their friendship takes an unexpected turn.
This story was inspired in some measure by my previous work, A Dangerous Liaison, and by the fact that I wasn’t done with 1920s London.
I have taken my account of opium intoxication from Thomas de Quincey and his Confessions of an English Opium Eater.ETA 10th October: This work is now complete.

Summary
"Okay...” John agrees, as noncommittal as ever. Sherlock can tell by his tone that John is humouring him; saying one thing when he means another, just like he always does. Suddenly, Sherlock has had enough. They are barely outside when Sherlock stops so abruptly that John nearly runs into him. Sherlock rounds on John and glares down at him.
“Okay? No, it's not 'okay', John. It is very much not okay.”

Summary
or, The Adventure of the Red Shoes
UK Ballet principal dancer Sherlock Holmes and assistant rugby coach John Watson met and fell in love as ambitious, optimistic teenagers. Twenty years on, they are entering midlife, facing the break-down of their bodies and the ending of their careers, and contemplating what the future holds for two middle-aged men forced to start over. With a frightening crisis unfolding at the Ballet, Sherlock must balance the demands of his career, his friendships, and his marriage with his own struggle against bitterness and discontent, while John takes a long-overdue glance from the outside, in, and stutter-steps toward making a kind of peace.
