Why this must be read:

These are two stories that are companions to each other but both can also be read stand alone. Both take place after The Reichenbach Fall (so spoilers). Spring in Marrakesh is a sad sensual piece about a brief encounter between Sherlock and Irene Adler. There are a lot of stories about John post Reichenbach but not many about Sherlock. This one conveys viscerally that Sherlock is suffering too.

Summer in London is about John and how hard it is for him to pick up his life after Reichenbach. This one is also important as an example of a new genre in Sherlock fandom. If you're not on tumblr you may have missed the "I believe in Sherlock Holmes" fan campaign. It was inspired by John's final blog post, here (That's a link to John's actual blog which is a real (fictional) website. It's an official BBC site and has spoilers for every episode and is amazing. Follow the links there to Sherlock's website as well). Suffice to say that there are already quite a few stories that feature yellow spray paint and there will be a lot more by the time series 3 rolls around.

Both these stories are excellent
