Canon Story: The Dying Detective
Author: flawedamythyst
Rating: PG
A/N: The last one I need to catch up on. Been putting this one off a bit, because the story just makes me so angry on Watson's behalf.

I stayed hidden behind the Great Detective's bed for far longer than was necessary. I might have emerged from concealment at the moment that Inspector Morton arrived, but I was frozen with disbelief that someone I counted as my closest friend could abuse me in such a cruel way, followed by a burning anger I had to fight to control.

Yes, Watson deserved far better. Good job.

I'm so glad you wrote this. It seethes with justified anger. What Holmes does in DYIN is intolerably cruel. Watson has every right to never speak to him again. But we know he's too good a person to ever do that. *sigh*

Doesn't he just, though? Jesus, Holmes, you cold-hearted bastard.

And we never get his reaction on it. That story really should have ended with a fist to the face and a rant about Holmes, and instead there's just a dinner invite.
