Canon Story: The Golden Pince-Nez
Title: After Mercy
Author: hisietari
Rating: G
Prompts: include a colour
Author's Notes: Jane Moriarty is Professor Moriarty's eldest sister and as such in Mycroft Holmes's services. After the death of two of her siblings - the professor as well as the youngest sister, Mercy - she plays a part in cleaning up [the leftovers of their organisations] of whose extent nor intention little to nothing is known.


Doctor Watson did not need his certificate to see that things were askew with Moriarty. The slate-coloured trenches under her eyes hadn’t lightened up for a year, and she took the Russian documents and train tickets from Holmes without so much as a snarl.
“Take your time in Siberia, Jane. Shoot yourself a bear, or some extremists.”
She glared. Good.

Work as the antidote to sorrow.

Nicely done, and Alexis' best hope:-)

She's overworked and he shouldn't send her, but I really don't know if someone like Jane knows what a holiday is. :/ Bit of a dilemma here, narrative-wise, too.

Wow, Jane has to go off to the wastes of Siberia to deal with Alexis' imprisonment. That's a mission I think anyone would prefer to hand off to someone else. Bundle up, Jane!
