Canon Story: The Three Students
Title: Teasing
Rating: PG
A/N: Based on this line: "Not one of your cases, Watson — mental, not physical. All right; come if you want to."

It had been two long weeks of Watson being wordlessly bored and frustrated by my immersion in my studies, otherwise I would have sent Soames away unsatisfied. However, I have long been powerless to deny that look of enthusiasm on Watson's face, although I do enjoy teasing him that I might leave him behind – as if I ever would!

Watson underestimates himself. It is not just his wife to whom those in distress are drawn – Watson himself is a great help in times of need. That is why I was so pleased to have him with me on this case, not just to help, but in case I should have to deliver bad news to Mrs. St. Clair.

Title: Softening Of The Brain
Rating: PG
A/N: Oh look, I managed to get Holmes/Watson into this one.

I have often declared myself an idiot once an obvious solution to a mystery has revealed itself, but I have never meant it more than I did in Birlstone, when I half-woke Watson and recognised his expression of unguarded affection at the sight of me. How could I have missed that he feels for me as I feel for him?

The last one is very sweet - and I do like the title.

Hah! My titles on these are usually pretty rough - that one I actually took 2 mins to think about it.

Thank you!

Particularly liked the Twisted Lip one, Watson tends to underestimate himself:-)

He does, doesn't he? Thank you!

I like how the relationship between these two develops from being pals in the first story, over deep and true appreciation in the second, to something even grander in the last paragraph. It shows the many levels and facettes there are, or may be, to this story arc very well.

Thank you! I didn't really plan for it to build like that, it just sort of fell into place. This relationship is just too easy to write about.

Nice little ficlets! Intrigued by the little interpretations you brought out in each for the relationship b/t Holmes and Watson.

These are all great. What I love best about them is the unspoken affection that is their unifying thread. Lovely little character pieces!
