Canon Story: The Adventure Of The Golden Pince-Nez
Title: Freedom
Author: Castiron
Rating: G


I am a free man again.

I do not know what turning of fate brought this about; I have only my release papers and a letter from an Englishman, Sherlock Holmes, telling me that my dear friend Anna died retrieving the documents that proved my innocence.

He writes his hopes that I will do honour to her memory. I shall.

This is good - at least some good came from this.

Heh, I just noticed we were on the same track with our comments! Great minds think alike!

Thank you! It's a sad story, but at least it ends on a faintly hopeful note.

Yay, Alexis is free! This story ends very darkly, so it's nice to know some good came from all this.

It's Holmes's telling Watson "next stop, Russian Embassy" that saves the end from total hopelessness.

Love this and the way it puts everything into a different perspective.

Very nice, just what the canon needs. :)
