Victorian Fic - Wilde's Trials

[shes-a-geek.livejournal.com]

Does anyone recall the name of a H/W fic in which Holmes and Watson leave for the Continent following Oscar Wilde's conviction? I'm pretty sure it is (or was) on Ao3 and was written for an exchange of some kind, but I'm not finding it. I'm also pretty certain it was ACD-based, although, based on when I remember reading it, it could have also been inspired by the Ritchieverse. Sorry for the vagueness. Thanks!

EDIT: Found (maybe?)! It's probably rainuponthemoon's Men Like Us, but I'd love to catch up with anyone who remembers similar fics and discussions of H/W and Wilde from a few years back.

Hm. I feel like I've read this, but perhaps it was just something similar.

My poking around on AO3 surfaced The Final Mystery, in which Holmes talks about leaving as a result of the conviction but they don't actually do so (and it wasn't written for an exchange).

A search of fics I've saved to my computer pulled up Men Like Us, in which they leave London in advance of Wilde's arrest (it was written for Yuletide 2009).

If that helps. :)

Thanks! I think Men Like Us might be what I was thinking of, but I also feel like this is the kind of fic lots of people pondered writing in the heyday of Cox and Co, Holmesslash, and the kinkmemes, so I could well be conflating it with various other discussions.

Yes, you're probably right. :)

Not exactly what you were searching, but I thought I should add it since it mentions Wilde:
