sherlock60Canon Story: A Case of Identity
Title: Of Course
Author: impulsereader
A/N: Inspired by Watson’s prediction of how the case he chose at random from the newspaper had run its course: 'A husband's cruelty to his wife.' There is half a column of print, but I know without reading it that it is all perfectly familiar to me. There is, of course, the other woman, the drink, the push, the blow, the bruise, the sympathetic sister or landlady.
*****
The meeting, of course, of both men and minds, the case, the chase, the capture, the triumphant return, the clarification, the celebratory whisky, the late-night violin concerts.
The eventual severing, of course, the long absences, the carefully subdued reunions, the perpetual hope of an extended visit, the dashing of that hope each time the bell rang because he already knew.

Very well done!

I love it.
