Summary
'He believed that it was only with nature and his isolation from the rest of the world that he would be able to create something beautiful. It was after reading Walden that he had felt inspired to accept the post. He wondered if being in the Scottish highlands in order to look after a lighthouse would allow him to live deliberately and see the essential facts of life, and would perhaps learn what it meant to live. He hoped that he would be able to discover how sublime the world could be once more, he had only experienced the meanness of it over the years. '
Mycroft ends up taking an opportunity as a lighthouse keeper in Scotland to take comfort in the isolation to avoid his past. Greg has been running the local bakery for the last three years after a life in London.

Bookmarker's Notes
This one is really, really good! The setting reminded me of another story by BrynTWedge, which made me realise just how much I love Mycroft and Greg somewhere in Scotland.
I love reading this story with some nice Bossa Nova in the background. -

I really like fics that are mostly dialogue. Especially with EventHorizon. This writer has a talent for writing the voices of Mycroft and Greg, so you can tell who's talking while reading.

Summary
Caring is the bravest thing you can do. To some people it comes naturally. To a Holmes, it's more challenging.
