A/N: So the first of these came out of me wondering about Watson’s insistence over a particular quirk of Holmes’ character in the opening paragraph while the second is entirely [livejournal.com profile] thesmallhobbit’s fault.


All emotions and that one particularly are abhorrent to his cold, precise but admirably balanced mind.


Holmes sighed and placed down his copy of The Strand.

“You’re still angry with me, aren’t you?”

There was a pointed silence from the other side of the room.

“May I remind you it was you who left me to get married-“

“Hmph.”

Huff. “I apologise, John. I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings. I do love you.”

“I know.”

“Your majesty has something which I should value even more highly,” said Holmes.

“You have but to name it.”

“Her garter.”

“Her garter!” cried the King, removing a black frilly object from his pocket. “But why ever would you want that?”

“I have my reasons,” said Holmes, snatching it then pausing to give me a look that was oddly appraising.

Indeed Holmes, whatever can you be planning to do with that garter?

Aw, that first one is lovely, and the second one made me grin. I like your take on things!

The Adventure of the Black Garter. A missing tale if ever I encountered one.

Too funny - especially the garter! I can just see the look you describe!

Er.......Holmes isn't planning on putting that garter to use, is he? Or making Watson put it to use? Because for some reason, that's where my mind went, and it's making me laugh really hard.

That said, I love the first one, and that Holmes is reading Watson's opening statements as sour grapes (just as I do!).

“I have my reasons," said Holmes

And I would love to hear them!
