Summary: On the eve of the Great War two men reunite, sharing their joy at being together again. Yet amidst their celebrations Watson discovers Holmes’ life-changing injury - will Holmes ever be able to play the violin again? Watson is determined to assist in the healing process, using his own experience with his personal war wound.

Author's Note: This story is set on the tail-end of His Last Bow with Holmes and Watson reuniting after two long years apart. The author has taken the liberty of canon divergence, where Watson - the unreliable narrator - actually retired to Sussex with Holmes. There are brief mentions of the oncoming Great War, but no war scenes.

natrix_natrix I ran with your prompt of Holmes suffering nerve damage in his hand due to his undercover work. I hope I have managed to deliver!
