Canon Story: A Study in Scarlet
Title: Initiation

Rating: G
A/N: My second round of 60s will concentrate on the Moriarty family, which I've based on canon as far as possible, but tweaked a lot due to gaps in canon. You can find a family tree and some explanation in my journal, but please feel free to ask, too.
Three for the price of one! Played a bit of doomsday fairy by placing important events of some major characters all in one year.


I

Officer Higgins would never be more than a copper, and he did not mind. He saw, but wouldn’t ask, and he didn’t enquire why one evening in the summer of 1881 Icy Jane, their best whistle-blower, got arrested. Not even five hours later she was led away, accompanied by some weird government fellow called Holmes. They never saw her again.

II

It couldn’t have gone better. Freshly returned from service in India, Michael O’Connor had been approached by several publishers for his memoirs. Before he knew, his tales had sparked a wildfire. The letters of admiration he did find a little ridiculous, especially when written by academics such as that young mathematician Moriarty. The boy couldn’t hear enough about tiger hunters.

III

Old Mrs Coulter had gladly taken care of late Mrs Moriarty's youngest daughter. A peculiar child, not quite right in the head, four years old and silent as a stone. Until dearest Doctor Petersen visited to check upon Mrs Coulter's increasing state of indisposition. “Poison in his pocket” little Mercy sang, sang at Mrs Coulter’s grave, too, until Petersen confessed.
