    Summary

    Two men meet on the battlefield. Amid the chaos and confusion a friendship is born. One that will last them a lifetime. If they let it.

    'If he waits for the ideal moment, he will never set off; he requires a touch of madness to take the next step. The warrior uses that touch of madness. For - in both love and war - it is impossible to foresee everything.'
    Paulo Coelho

    Summary

    What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world. - Robert E. Lee.

    Summary

    There was a shout in the distance, urgent and breathless.

    “Mister Wishbone! Mister Wishbone, Sir!”

    Rowdy jumped up.

    Mushy was running toward them, stumbling over the long grass.

    “Mister Wishbone, Mister Rowdy, you gotta come, they’re killin’ each other,” he panted out, as he got close enough, pointing.

    A few more people were stirring at the noise and commotion. “Who?” Wishbone began, but Rowdy had a feeling he knew.

     
    Pushing beeves north is a hard job, done by hard men.

    Rustlers, conmen, bandits - Rowdy Yates and Gil Favor have dealt with them all.

    Feelings, emotions and their relationship prove to be more difficult to figure out. But when new hands dredge up old memories, they have to try.

    A game of strip poker is, Gil Favor reflects, a truly appalling idea.

    Summary

    “An’ that’s it?” Rowdy asked.

    “Huh?” Gil frowned.

    “I’m ramrod, just like that?”

    Gil stuck out his hand. “Can shake on it. But you want an announcement in the paper, you’ll have to sort that yourself.”

    Rowdy gave a small smile, and shook the offered hand.

     
    Rowdy needs a job. He finds a home.

    Summary

    Tie in with the Nanny John blogs, and will make very slightly more sense if you read them, but it's not essential.

    https://interestingmurders.blogspot.co.uk/2016/12/night-is-falling-and-you-just-cant-see.html?showComment=1482743419013#c2144105073675068300

    Basically, Johnstrade, where John is the 'Nanny' to Sherlock and Mycroft (who is now at Univeristy, and does not require a Nanny at all.)

    Summary

    Mycroft is a hard working civil servant. He lives a life of boring meetings, he meets boring people, he deals with boring situations (and the occasional interesting one).

    His life does not in any way resemble the plot of a 70s porn movie.

    Right up until a friendly plumber named Greg turns up on his doorstep...

    Summary

    Mycroft Holmes suffers a great loss. He longs for something he never really had. He grieves for a person he didn't really know.

    But someone else has suffered a loss far greater than his.

    Mycroft is faced with a situation that's out of his control, and his usual self-assured calm is shattered. He's forced to trust the people around him, because he knows he can't trust himself.

    Summary

    I am a dreamer but when I wake,
    You can't break my spirit—it's my dreams you take.
    And as you move on, remember me,
    Remember us and all we used to be.

    A sequel to 'Attention'. It will make much more sense if you read that first.

    Summary

    Answer to the 25000 post challenge for Sue:

    "I'd like to see Malcolm deliberately put partner before duty for once, and have to face the consequences."

    I hope this goes some way to answering this challenge
