Thor Bridge, The Three Gables & The Three Garrideb

Canon Story: Thor Bridge
Title: Expectations
Rating: PG

As I watched my revolver go disappearing over the parapet of the bridge, I realised that Holmes was right. I really can be incurably slow at times. How else would you explain my failure to learn the most basic lesson of our friendship? Never lend Sherlock Holmes anything without expecting to see it lost, damaged or destroyed in some way.


Canon Story: The Three Gables
Title: Bachelorhood
Rating: PG

A man as full of vitality as Douglas Maberley brought down by that fiend of a woman, and no way for justice to be served. Watson thinks my opinion of females to be too harsh, but this case is evidence enough that romance is a dangerous risk not worth taking. Bachelorhood suits me (and my Watson, of course) far better.


Canon Story: The Three Garridebs
Title: Desperation
Rating: PG

Watson has remarked more than once upon my ability to remain cool when faced with threats of violence. It is not bravery, for I have never felt much fear of injury to my own person. Seeing Watson hurt is a quite different thing, however, and my desperation then revealed just how poor I am at remaining cool when truly afraid.

I particularly liked the Thor Bridge scene. Poor trusting Watson; he would still hand his revolver over again if Holmes asked him to:-)

Of course he would! And then regret it all over again, bless him.

Poor, frustrated Watson, both at his own slowness and Holmes use of his possessions.

I like to think that it reaches a point where he just gives in and accepts that nothing he owns is safe.

Saw your one after writing mine, btw - love that we had similar takes!

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Yes, I imagine he's resigned to the fact.

Haha, well clearly that means it's the correct interpretation! Great minds think alike ;)

Great little pieces! Like them all. It's not often we see the emotional side of SH in the canon. 3GAR is a rarity. Maybe it helped make up for the revolver incident :)

[flawedamythyst.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Hah, yeah, but is it enough to make up for all the other similar incidents?

[ennui-enigma.livejournal.com]

Knowing Watson, I'd say he would think it made up for the other incidents. For myself - not even close!

Love them all, but I think your interpretation of "Thor Bridge" should be just the next thing to enter headcanon. *lol*

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.

Like one's heart, perhaps.
