Re: hOOray it's (adult) mOnday!
Well, seems it is Monday. So I will have a go. It may not be a "typical" scene but I love it because it is very sweet and moving, especially if you have read the fic and know about the terrible times they went through:
Kill Switch by Todesfuge
"It was a long time later … Christmas Day."

Re: hOOray it's (adult) mOnday!
Oh my, this one is very special. Very touching, so plain and almost quiet 
(I'm almost tempted to say the word "anti-climax", but then, this is not the moment for puns.)

No, but I see what you mean and it is quite fitting.

Re: hOOray it's (adult) mOnday!
I loved this and the prequel but it may not be everyone's cup of tea. But they are well written with intricate plots and a really great Irene Adler.

If you open full work and search the start and end words, it should be easy even for you, Solar

Re: hOOray it's (adult) mOnday!
Aw, I love mOnday. Susi, wonderful choice.
My own suggestion for today:
Albion and the Woodsman[/url] (54652 words) by [url=]Glenmore
Chapter 47, from "Am I making you feel better,..." till " just seconds after him."

Re: hOOray it's (adult) mOnday!
My recommendation for this mOnday:
Gone from the Gentle Battleground by proffessorfangirl
Very beautiful prose, reads more like poetry instead.
The scene begins with "As the humidity of tears" and last to the end of the story.
-----------------------------------
I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Re: hOOray it's (adult) mOnday!
The Seduction of Dr. John Watson, by XistentialAngst
This one was the first Johnlock O I've read in my life. A rather plain one, (M-rated), yet I will treasure this for ever and ever
"He slowly lowered" ... "heaven."
