Summary
Busy lawyer Sherlock Holmes is only home for the holidays to appease his mother. After Christmas, he is probably moving to Rome. Anywhere but back to London.
Single-dad John Watson is just trying to get by. Taking care of a precocious six-year-old is not an easy job. He does not have time to be thinking about dating, no matter how often his mum texts him about it.
In a Hallmark-esque holiday romance, Sherlock and John (literally) bump into one another and stubbornly refuse to admit their feelings for one another. This is an Alternate Universe that uses a lot of details and characters from BBC Sherlock canon, just in a slightly different situation.
They're idiots in love. You get it.

Summary
John is an empath. Which isn't nearly as much fun as it sounds. Most of the time, it’s not even useful.

this was so, so well done!! so insightful, it's almost like a character study. the descriptions of the emotions were so spot-on while simultaneously being poetic. the amount of skill it takes to write something like this is beyond impressive. definite re-read!
