Canon Story: A Study In Scarlet
Title: Limits
Rating: PG
A/N: Allowing myself 100 words for this one, as it's a novel and Holmes refused to be concise.
John Watson — his limits.
1. Biology & Anatomy. - Extensive, especially in regards to medicine.
2. Other Sciences. - Average. Tendency towards useless trivia such as planetary motion.
3. Crime. - Feeble, but developing. Shows a keen interest.
4. Literature. - Mainly action novels. Wishes to inflict his own writing on the population.
5. Philosophy. - Despite experiences in war, persists in believing in the goodness of humanity. Curious.
6. Is an excellent shot and a handy brawler.
7. Has the grand gift of silence. Invaluable as a companion.
8. Uncommonly handsome.
This list fails to accurately portray Watson. Begin to suspect I will never get his limits.
Canon Story: The Sussex Vampire
Title: Ghosts
Rating: PG
A/N: This one's a bit of a leap forward from the text. And, uh, angsty.
No ghosts need apply, he said in jest so many years ago. Now I stand in the dark outside his cottage, watching as he trails his fingers over the writing I was doing as my heart failed, and wish that he was less rational and more open to the other side, so that I might yet communicate with him.
