Author's Notes: Down with a cold and still holiday-depressed, I apologise in advance for lame language and stupid sinister.


It would not be simple, balancing a significant disturbance in Holmes the Younger’s work while gathering sufficient information about his doings. Several of Mercy’s best agents had failed at the task already. Maybe it was time to change course, from direct attack to sublime infiltration. She pulled out a sheet of her mint-scented letter paper.
‘My dearest Mary,’ she wrote.

Cold notwithstanding, this really is quite clever:-)

I have another one for you: How comes Watson never wrote about Mary vanishing from his life so short a time later...?

Too painful? Her departure was in a wholly unexpected unsettling direction...oh, wait...

[hisietari.livejournal.com]

I will. ;)

[debriswoman]

I would put money on it:-)

The holidays are finally over, be happy! ;)

And your sinister isn't stupid at all. It's quite appropriately unsettling.

Actually the real struggle, which I had too much time to brood over while on "rest", is back on at full speed now, but work has distracting advantages, too.

Isn't it strangely satisfying to find yet another little crack to ram the sinister!crowbar in and have a good big yank...?
