Canon Story: A Study in Scarlet
Title: Special Skills
Author: Kestrel337
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Author's Notes: There’ve been a lot of drawings of Mike Stamford as Cupid. Sorry.

I have small understanding of chemistry, and slightly greater knowledge of the body. I cannot tell a man’s living by looking at his hands. I carry neither gun nor bow, nor any other weapon.

I understand the chemistry of the human heart. I know the anatomy of a lonely soul. They clasp hands, and I know my aim was true.


(I had a lot of fun with what I've written for week 2, so I thought I'd try for week 1, also. Hope it's okay to be this late to the party.)

A bullseye from kestrel, too. Thank you for a very well written and satisfying fic.

A lovely description of Stamford, thank you.

Welcome! Contributions are very welcome all week - and sometimes people even 'catch up' when they miss weeks, so please feel free to post whenever you are able.

I second what thesmallhobbit said - it's never too late to post a 60. And there can never be too many Stamford stories ^_^

That's a rather lovely and poetic description of the inside of Stamford's mind - I love the way the second "verse" echoes the first, and the understated way you equate Stamford with Cupid. And that last sentence is perfect.

I'm so glad you're joining in - I look forward to seeing what you've come up with for week 2 ^^

We all owe a lot to Stamford! Thank goodness he was there.
