Canon Story: The Gloria Scott
Rating: G

------------------

If not for a dog bite, what might Holmes have become? Had Holmes become anything other than the world’s only consulting detective, would I never have made his acquaintance?

Ah, he has grasped the significance straight away. Singular man. I don’t know, my dear Watson, but I am grateful not to have found out. Clever old dog, he thought fondly.

What a curious incident of a dog at lunchtime. ;)

This is your first post here, right? We're excited you've joined us! I'm the mod here, so please let me know if you need anything.

I love thinking about how that one random moment changed Holmes' life and how things could have been vastly different. I wonder what he might have done otherwise... Makes me want to write an AU (or two). Good work!

I always love when seemingly random things become very important linchpins in peoples lives and while I believe if something is truly your passion a thousand paths will lead you where you need to be, I like the identification in this story and your pointing out of this one tiny insignificant thing the bite that led to all that will be Sherlock Holmes. Lovely.

I love how you speculate on the long-term effects of that random chance here. Nice!

Clever old dog, indeed - and a very clever double entendre.
