Canon Story: The Second Stain
Title: Wonderful
Author: azriona
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Author's Notes: At the end of the story, Watson describes the Prime Minister’s eyes as “wonderful”. My notes read: “WTF?” Mocking thus ensued.



“Holmes, you are staring at me.”

“I am conducting an experiment.”

“Do elaborate.”

“Very well; describe my eyes.”

“Piercing? Unblinking? Studious?”

“Not…wonderful?”

“You looked at my notes again.”

“Of course! I must ensure their accuracy.”

“Then should publication ever become a possibility, I shall certainly mention your fetching smile.”

“Best not, Watson. You could make the Prime Minister quite jealous.”

Canon Story: The Reigate Squires
Title: Analysis
Author: azriona
Rating: PG
Warnings: Crack
Author's Notes: In which I take handwriting analysis way too seriously. It’s really hard to mimic handwriting that doesn’t conform with your own; I had to rewrite the list about five times. And yeah, this is more BBC Sherlock than ACD.





“John. We should have sex. Immediately.”

John blinked and considered.

“Yeah, all right.”

Canon Story: The Scandal in Bohemia
Title: Heartbeat
Author: azriona
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Author's Notes: This started out one thing and ended up somewhere very different. I don’t think I wrote this as much as it wrote me.


The door echoed out the heartbeat of my days. Slams marked lonesome homecomings. Knocks were adventures in the making. Wiggins’ quick rat-a-tat-tat, Lestrade’s fist banging an impatient one-two-three, or the shy and uncertain tock-tock of a client.

Every sound brought me hope, frustration, and ultimately boredom. Only the tap of his step on the stair, coming home, brought me joy.

TWIS: The Awful Code

Canon Story: The Man with the Twisted Lip
Title: The Awful Code
Author: smoothe1
Rating: G

James! That code word again! Never meant anything good...only: "Stay here, John! Don't sneak out! I'll have something for you to do"

Most times those little birds drawn to my wife never realized the "mistake." Tonight, I fear the assistance may be more than merely walking Kate home. It may be a pursuit worthy of my days with Holmes!

A/N: Throwing another speculation on the pile regarding Mrs. Watson's most-famous mistake in this story in calling her husband "James." This theory postulates it had a rather practical use between a husband and wife.
