“They say this terrible human walks among us – and wherever he goes, dogs die.”

The other canines in the alley shuddered.

But, “G’wan, that’s jes’ a bleedin’ cat-tail,” one rag-earred bulldog sneered.

Roy glared at him. “Old Skip, from 221b? Poisoned. Dash, the Spaniel? Fed to a bigger dog he then shot. Carlo, at Copper Beeches? The Dog-Killer is real.”

Rating: Mature for implied slash and phallic humour
Summary: A 60-word dick joke, that is all.
Author's Note: Keeping it classy on the 60. That's me!

“Well, Watson, what do you make of it?”
“Interesting, though elementary; larger than a terrier, smaller than a mastiff; though originally a very handsome one, it’s been so knocked about—“
“Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it,” said Holmes indignantly.
“Put that Penang lawyer aside this Northumberland doctor and we’ll see, my dear man.”

The Hound of the Baskervilles: Conductor of (Sweetness and) Light

Rating: G
Author's Notes: "Since we have been so unfortunate as to miss him and have no notion of his errand, this accidental souvenir becomes of importance."


“I knew I’d miss a client if we went to that wretched play!”

Holmes stomped off up the stairs.

Watson sighed, and turned to Mrs. Hudson.

Who smiled.

“Emergency procedures were followed, sir. I distracted the gentleman, and he left something behind...”

“Excellent, Mrs. Hudson.”

Watson glanced upwards.

“Hopefully a little deducing will distract Holmes. Until this Dr. Mortimer returns.”

The Hound of the Baskervilles: Death by Hound or Alternative

I am fascinated by the tale of the hound which seems to haunt the heirs of the Baskervilles; not a creature I should like to meet on a dark night.  Although at the moment death by asphyxiation seems a much greater likelihood, given the coarse tobacco Holmes has recently taken to smoking and his apparent inability to open the window.
