Note: I'm trying to catch up, not having done any 60 for 60s for nearly 4 months. So here's a bonus one for this week, inspired by ACD's fondness for certain motifs.
Canon Story: The Naval Treaty
Title: The Underlying Problem
Author: Mary Sutherland
Rating: PG-13
The July which immediately succeeded my marriage was made memorable by three cases of interest, in which I had the privilege of being associated with Sherlock Holmes and of studying his methods. I find them recorded in my notes under the headings of "The Adventure of the Second Stain," "The Adventure of the Naval Treaty," and "The Adventure of the Tired Captain".
To lose one top-secret document in a month is unfortunate; to lose two argues for Her Majesty's government as rotten from top to bottom. In each case the criminal had gained access to the material via his connections to the document-holder's wife. Perhaps I should suggest to Mycroft that the upper reaches of Whitehall be recruited exclusively from sexual inverts.
