The Final Problem: Unbelievable

Canon story: The Final Problem
Title: Unbelievable
Author: wild_huntress
Rating: G
Author’s note: Of course someone would have to write on those cracky theories about how Moriarty never even existed, this story never happened and there was some totally different reason for the Hiatus. (It was either this or cracky Holmes/Moriarty...)

I knew Holmes was not physically ill, but was nevertheless shaken to see him brought so low.

“Listen, I’ll accompany you -”

“For six months - perhaps longer?” he asked, reproachfully.

“A week on the Continent, and after, I’ll help you however I can.”

“Well, I suppose you could make yourself useful by explaining my ‘disappearance’ in your unbelievable accounts...”

Hee! That would certainly explain Moriarty's last-minute appearance in the canon up to that point....

Of course someone would have to write on those cracky theories

Thank you for doing so! Love that last line—"unbelievable" *snicker*

Oh, I like this direction! What's he up to for those six months?

Cracky Hiatus theories are fun.

I'd still love some cracky Holmes/Moriarty! :)

Much better to think Watson knew all along...nice.

Thanks very much. They need a cover story for some totally unrelated issue; it fits! =]

Hehe, yeah - it so works as a cobbled-together cover story for anything else. Thanks for reading!

Thanks. I was actually thinking something angsty, but, yeah, this setup is a good one for a more flippant treatment too (perhaps someday I'll write the full length fic for which I've a half formed idea and include both angst and humour). Thanks so much for reading!

[wild-huntress.livejournal.com]

Indeed... and I may yet do some cracky Holmes/Moriarty one of these days! :)

[wild-huntress.livejournal.com]

It is better. Thanks for reading!
