sherlock60 | Shoscombe Old Place, The Sign Of Four, Silver Blaze and The Six Napoleons

Let myself get behind again. Still, it's been a very pleasant few hours catching up.

Canon Story: Shoscombe Old Place
Title: A Real Holiday
Rating: PG
A/N: Holmes/Watson. Because I really don't see either of them really being the types for fishing, somehow.

I did not mention in the official narrative that I also laid a great deal of money on Shoscombe Prince and won more than enough to treat Holmes to a real holiday, one on the continent without the trial of pretending to care for fishing. Indeed, we spent our time with far more engaging pursuits, and barely left our room.

Canon Story: The Sign Of Four
Title: Distraction
Rating: PG
A/N: Holmes/Watson (hinted). Based on the first chapter.

It seems an odd truth that talking with Watson who, despite his many great qualities, is not the keenest intellect nor the most cunning conversationalist, should occupy my brain almost as satisfactorily as a puzzle, thereby rendering a second shot of cocaine unnecessary. I hint towards that, hoping that he will always remain beside me, distracting me from my demons.

Canon Story: Silver Blaze
Title: Bad Decisions
Rating: PG
A/N: Silas Brown PoV.

Decisions made before breakfast are rarely good ones. I should have remembered that as I lead Silver Blaze across the moor in the dawn's light, and kept towards King's Pyland rather than letting the devil turn my feet. I have nerves as strong as any man, but I would not repeat the terror of the last few days for anything.

Canon Story: The Six Napoleons
Title: Role-playing
Rating: PG
A/N: Holmes/Watson. And, yes, I failed to keep it to 60 words. Have 100 instead.

One might think that having a Scotland Yard inspector as a regular visitor would put us in danger, given our frequent and enthusiastic breaking of the Offences Against The Person Act, but Holmes and his put-upon assistant are now so familiar that the Yard would hardly notice if we were to engage in sordid acts on the desk of the Chief Inspector. Holmes takes great delight in indulging in these roles, ordering me about as if I am nothing more than a servant. I comply without comment; we both know who will be obeying whom once our door is locked.
