A Scandal in Bohemia: Married Women

Canon: A Scandal in Bohemia
Title: Married Women
Author: hisietari
Rating: G
A/N: Told from Jane Moriarty's perspective (prompt #2). Inspired by Irene dressing up as a man.

Norton’s departure to Australia had been arranged months ago, and I taking his place as dear Irene’s lover prove easier than we had imagined. Irene was a professional, but I had to bite my tongue hard that day in church. I am very sure Holmes noticed the scent of theatre make-up that surrounded the ‘groom’, and the situation’s wonderful surrealism.

You are weaving an excellent Moriartial web throughout the stories. I really like the idea of this:-)

And Holmes aware of the deception?

Well penned!

I couldn't imagine Irene not recognising Holmes at the wedding, and Holmes mistaking Jane for Norton, so he had to become part of the escape scheme. ^^" There are theories that he let Adler escape on purpose, which I rather agree with.

Seems perfectly logical:-)

Ha, ha, ha! Jane Moriarty disguised as Norton at the wedding. You never cease to crack me up with your overactive (and talented) imagination along the Moriarty theme! Wouldn't the priest be appalled if he knew?...

Or another of the Moriarty clan!

I don't think I need any more of them roaming my realm, it's so crowded here already. XD;;

Oh, wow, that is crazy -- in just the right way! For sheer imagination, your 60s can never be beaten every week. Keep up the good (and always surprising/shocking/hilarious) work!

ooh, I like that idea! Jane as "Norton" and Holmes in on the game. Very intriguing...

[impulsereader.livejournal.com]

I always look forward to your 60s because I know I'm going to get something completely different. This is utterly wonderful.

I'm afraid that won't be possible, and maybe that's good. I've been afraid to have gone too far these last two times, there's always the chance of either drifting into sensation-seeking ridiculousness, or staying at the level of boring. I haven't had that much time for re-reading the full stories and discussions either, frustrating! Work should only be for those who have no idea what else to do with their life. ;P

The whole escape scheme should have been bigger in my opinion, Irene is definitely up to more than just "I guess I'll have a bit of a vacation".

[hisietari.livejournal.com]

Uh, it's not always easy to find something. ^^" This week was pretty impossible, and then, doing the surreal a bit too often will turn it into mere ridiculousness. I hope I'll be able to improve a little on that scale.
