Canon StoryThe Five Orange Pips

Title: Beaten

Author: [livejournal.com profile] tweedisgood

"Beaten"

"...four times - three times by men, once by a woman."

Against my successes, feathers against lead: aye, perhaps. Yet each one weighs upon my mind waking and sleeping, goading me to rise to the next challenge. The next round of single combat against an adversary who is named Failure, who wears many masks but, underneath, the same face: my face.

Very true, the one person that Holmes is really pitted against is himself.

Oh, very much how Holmes is, I think. Well done!

YES. This is spot-on and powerful.
