Canon Story: A Scandal in Bohemia
Title: Auld Acquaintances
Author: thesmallhobbit
Rating: G

“You have not changed a bit.”

“You were never known as a flatterer.”

“I look at your picture every day.  I would still have known you anywhere.”

“And I you.  The silver in your hair makes you all the more distinguished.  But in truth, you would have recognised me had I been in disguise?”

“I am never caught out twice.”

I accidentally wrote this as a 100 word drabble to start with, so the above sentence immediately continues with:

I was sorry to learn the news about Norton.”

“Thank you.  You must miss Dr Watson.”

“This winter has been a long one.  You have coped by yourself again?”

“Indeed I have.  I, like you, Mr Holmes, am a survivor.”

Wow. This drabble took me quite by surprise. What an extraordinary moment to capture in 60/100 words, what a bittersweet reunion of old "acquaintances". Holmes' line "The winter has been a long one" says so much without outright saying it at all. Serious kudos. This whole exchange is both beautiful and heartbreaking. I didn't think I would ever say this, but I am hoping fervently, Holmes and Adler know they need not stay alone now, after all those years.

One of your best ^^ A poignant meeting between two people who do have a lot in common and a connection, even if they were never truly friends.
