Book: A Brand of Gold

Author: aquabelacqua

Description: What am I doing? he wondered. The answer came back at once: Flirting. He sank deeper into the pillows, let the mist and blur of the wine settle around him, let it shore up his nerves and dim the warning signals that flashed dully in the back of his mind. He let the rest of the disappointment about Lucy and his strange accommodations and about the weekend as a whole fade into obscurity. He let the vital, missing piece snap into place as surely and as cleanly as if it had always been there. He was flirting with Sherlock Holmes.

Why You Should Read: This has some texting in it. It's pretty funny and quite cute how they are oblivious. I love how they both are in this. The only reason it has a green rating and not a blue is because there is some ~smut~ if you couldn't tell by the tags and I'm not the biggest fan of that, but besides that, it was perfect!
