The Veiled Lodger, Wisteria Lodge & The Yellow Face

[flawedamythyst.livejournal.com]

My last three! And that's me done - all 60! I can't believe we're actually done. Thank you so much spacemutineer for organising all this, and for being generally awesome. And here's to Granada!

Canon Story: The Veiled Lodger
Title: Threats And Cormorants
Rating: PG
A/N: I think this has to be the unexplained case I want to know about more than any other, even more than the giant rat of Sumatra.

Mr. Arthur Hewlett, M.P. for Great Yarmouth, crumpled the pages of The Strand in his fists and snarled. How dare a jumped-up old pensioner like Doctor Watson dare threaten him in so public a manner? He looked at the cormorant sat on a perch by the window, looking out to sea.

“We'll get those papers yet, Cormoran,” he vowed.


Canon Story: Wisteria Lodge
Title: Secrets
Rating: PG
A/N: Because I'm sorry, but this pairing was too obvious.

It was not only Holmes's reputation that led me to his door, but also the rumours I'd heard about Watson amongst my acquaintances. Even if Holmes could read a man's secrets as easily as they said, he would not expose the real reason I became so quickly intimate with Garcia when my hidden vice was the same as his companion's.


Canon Story: The Yellow Face
Title: Perambulation
Rating: PG
A/N: Well, I couldn't end on anything other than Holmes/Watson schmoop, right?

I was sorely frustrated to have missed a potential client, so much so that I almost told Watson that I would never again waste my time on such pointless trivialities as afternoon walks. One look at his sun-warmed face, which still reflected the intimate communion we had held between us on our perambulation, and the words died in my throat.

These are all great, though the second is a bit ominous. :D My favorite is the third. What a lovely note to end on!

Cormoran is brilliant - the bird will be back!

I like the reasoning behind the second drabble.

Oh, man, I love all of these!

I love the sinister/fun first, smiled at the second and "aww"ed after reading the third.

A fitting end to the series, and well done for doing the lot, from another veteran!

Your batches of fic have been such a highlight here! Thanks for coming in with our mad little business from the beginning 60 weeks ago. Sixty weeks! It's hard to believe! We've been very fortunate to have you along and I can't wait to get started watching Granada with you!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed them.

Hell yes, he will. Beware the revenge of Cormoran.

Thank you!

Yes! Go us!! 60 weeks seemed like such a long time at the beginning, and yet here we are.

Thank you so much!c And yes, here's to Granada - I am really pleased we've got something going forward, even if I'm not going to be reading the stories any more, otherwise I'd be really sad.

congrats on finishing! What an accomplishment! I liked all three of your ficlets! Quite a variety. Your brain was all over when you wrote them. I'm always intrigued by Watson's unwritten cases, as well. He certainly knows how to tease his readers with them. Great job!

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked these three.
