This is astounding. Epistolary fiction, love, the aftermath of a great horror, clearing up old misunderstandings, revealing hidden depths and words unsaid (so much more acutely sensed in wartime), and a hopeful future.
Highly perceptive to deduce that the focus of Mycroft's great brainwork would be torn asunder by the War that shattered that empire, leaving the poor man to suffer his own version of shell-shock.
With Watson's arrangement with the Forrester girls as foreshadowing, he once again sets out to conjure a family from the people around him, and start a new life in Sussex with the man he loves and his brother.
