MUSG: Lessons Learned and STUD: The Reality of Roommates
Oops, missed posting last week, so I'm catching up...
Canon story: The Musgrave Ritual
Title: Lessons Learned

What I did not tell my friend was that this case had done more than set my feet on the path of my life’s work. That an emotion such as love could so unstring reason struck me cold to the depths of my soul. Watson, as tender-hearted as he is, believes the risk is worth the profit. I do not.

A/N: I was struck by how cheerfully accepting Watson was of Holmes' self-professed vices, given some of his complaints later in the canon. I wonder if he was so pleased to find a flatshare that he wasn't really listening to what Holmes said.
“Holmes! Must you make so much noise?”
“I did tell you before we took rooms together that I occasionally did experiments.”
“Chemical experiments, you said; not explosive.”
“As I recall, I did not specify. Never mind. My research today is unproductive. Shall we have some music, since I have tried your patience?”
“Mendelssohn, if you don’t mind.”
“Not at all.”

Nicely done!

I too wondered what Watson thought later on as time passed and he writes about these annoying habits of Holmes that he was warned about from the beginning. Smiled at Holmes retorts - esp. the chemical, not explosive ... I did not specify, bit :)

Watson should rejoice though. Not many people in that time had a musicbox at their disposal, may it have its excentricies or not.

Also the second one made me laugh. I love how patiently indignant Watson is!

But I confess, I always love darker pieces, so I am drawn to your MUSG 60 the most.
I do not.
So much meaning in those three little words. Excellent.

And the Musgrave Ritual piece is such an interesting take on the early thought process of Sherlock Holmes, it says so much about the man he is in so few words. Well done.

It does seem funny to me to read of Watson's annoyance when Holmes was pretty clear at the start. Although not detailed...
Thanks for the lovely feedback!
