This Sunday at Sherlock60: A Study in Scarlet

[spacemutineer.livejournal.com]

Welcome back! Sunday is coming up fast, so I hope you've been reading A Study in Scarlet. It's our first novel, and the very first meeting of Holmes and Watson, the beginning of a long and powerful friendship.

Special note: Do you use A03? sherlock60 has an AO3 collection going for 60s if you'd like to post there as well! It's great for backups and getting your nifty ficlets in front of more eyeballs. :)

There is no Granada episode for this week. Here are your completely optional prompts for STUD. Feel free to use one, both, or neither.

Optional prompt 1:


Optional prompt 2:
Try some wordplay: perhaps a pun or a double meaning.

MUSG: Montague Street

Montague Street by mistyzeo
Canon Story: The Musgrave Ritual
Rated G - no warnings.

I did not tell Watson the most important thing about my rooms in Montague Street: that they were miserable. Although during my time at University I had chosen to exist in solitary, taking a flat on my own was a new experience. It wasn't until much later, with Watson at my side, that I knew how unhappy I had been.

The Musgrave Ritual: A Free Woman

Canon Story: The Musgrave Ritual
Title: A Free Woman
Author: musamihi
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Author's Notes: Watson finds one bright point in a rather dark ending.

But this paragon has one fault. He is a bit of a Don Juan. I suppose the sheer volume of our cases that can be traced back to a bit of Don Juanning ought to convince me otherwise, but I have never considered that a fault – but perhaps that's why I can feel nothing but satisfaction at Miss Howell's escape.

The Gloria Scott: A Common Surname

Canon Story: The Gloria Scott
Title: A Common Surname
Author: Castiron
Rating: G
Author's Notes: Playing with a speculation some Sherlockians have made about the connection between two characters....

He was not my husband.

Of course readers have speculated, but truly, it's a common surname. I do wish that dear Dr. Watson had chosen a pseudonym for the man, but that can't be helped. And after all, we were not unconnected.

He was my older brother.

Yes, Miss Hudson, later Mrs. Hudson. I said it was a common surname.
