Author: flawedamythyst
Canon Story: The Adventure of the Creeping Man
Pairing: Holmes/Watson
Rating: PG


“I cannot come,” I said after Bennett had left. “Holmes, I cannot leave my practice.”

Holmes took my hands. “Chequers has more to recommend it than clean linen – it is astonishingly discreet. It has been too long since we indulged in certain activities without fear of discovery.”

I began planning for my absence without further persuasion.

Holmes took my hands.
Awww! It's about time we got some more romance in here! Very nice indeed.

An ideal destination for discerning gentlemen!

Naughty Holmes. I must admit something of the same thing flitted through my mind when I read the bit about clean linen.



one comment: it should be 'discreet' rather than 'discrete', which means 'distinguishable, non-continuous' rather than 'good at keeping secrets', which I assume was what you wanted

You realise you are tempting some of us to have a bash at a 60 word fic consisting of pure smut, near-impossible task though it be?

You icon is postively leering, btw :-)

Heh! Nothing will get a man to agree to a trip faster than the promise of hotel sex. Well done! :D

[flawedamythyst.livejournal.com]

Well, I do my best. I do love my romance, but it's not always the easiest thing to capture in 60 words.

[flawedamythyst.livejournal.com]

It is my goal to make at least one of mine ludicrously porny. I just haven't worked out how, yet.

[flawedamythyst.livejournal.com]

Hah! Exactly.

[flawedamythyst.livejournal.com]

Oh, damnit, that's what I get for writing fic after a long day out and a bottle of wine. *edits* Thank you!

[flawedamythyst.livejournal.com]

Holmes knows just how to manipulate Watson, yes.

*SNAP*

*coughsplutter* Sorry, I have a very dirty mind at this time in the morning.

writing fic after a long day out and a bottle of wine

Sterling notion :-)

*sleazy wink*

[spacemutineer.livejournal.com]

Oh, of course not! But I welcome it when it arises.

[spacemutineer.livejournal.com]

Ha! It was my scheme all along, couldn't you tell? ;) flawedamythyst has been threatening to give it a go at some point too. I wish you both the best -- I can't cram porn plus some tenuous connection to the canon into 60 words. But you both are welcome to try! The NC-17 rating tag exists, it merely hasn't been used yet!

And yes, Mr. Brett does have quite a look in his eyes in this picture, doesn't he? Oh, yes....

*giggle* Your ficlet was great on its own, but then it inspired this whole comment thread, which is pure gold. :-) Well done on both fronts!

[hardboiledbaby]

Hee! Watson does not hesitate when the facts are put to him properly. Good man :D

[flawedamythyst.livejournal.com]

Hah! Thank you, though not sure I can take credit for the comments. That's just how awesome this community is.

[flawedamythyst.livejournal.com]

Well, of course. Once he understands the situation fully, he falls in with Holmes's plans.
