Canon Story: The Adventure of the Devil's Foot
Title: Edge
Author: spacemutineer
Rating: PG-13

It is a blessing that the river flow of years has eroded some of the details from my memory. What remains is sharper than ever though, honed to a fine scalpel's edge that slices me open again every time -- Holmes’ face, twisting in agony as he silently screams, and the only sane thought left in my mind: SAVE HIM.

Author's note: A while back I wrote an alternate pitch black ending for DEVI called The Weapon of Choice, if you might be interested in that sort of thing...

Great imagery, and the heart of Watson. Nice work!

Really lovely, and captures Watson's intense devotion so well!

Oooooh - so nicely atmospheric and so very Watson! You've captured the heart of what makes this story a fan favorite in sixty well-chosen words. :-)

Thanks very much! I rather liked this one too. :)

Oh, I'm delighted you liked it so much! Thank you!

I love this one. It's my all-time favorite (partly for the superb Granada adaptation), so I wanted to do it justice.

Watson to a T! Great job :)

Brilliant. Their link so strong (and ooo...the longer piece. That will haunt me).

Wow, thank you! I just love DEVI, it's got so many great features, and the way it portrays Holmes and Watson's bond is the absolute best.

And I'm very excited you liked the horror piece too! It's a bit out there, but that was kind of the point. ;) Thanks for checking it out!
