Why this must be read:

It fits beautifully in its length, which is short and round. I've been fascinated lately by characters in states of fog--dreaming, half-awake, befuddled, addled, dazed, confused--and the way different authors convey it or use it in the story. This is slightly, sweetly romantic. John is feverish and wounded, recovering from a case. He envisions dance lessons, with Sherlock leading him. It's neatly, deftly done, and circles as a dazed waltz would.

Why this must be read:

Sally Donovan puts her sharpened observational skills to work on a sleepy morning in a coffee shop, waiting for Lestrade to return with their drinks.
You'll probably be miles ahead of Sally on this one, but give her a break, it's not what she expected to see, and she didn't have spoiling headers and tags to over-inform her. This is pleasantly, mildly done, with affection all around. There's also a stinger reference to a recent film.

All That's Made
