Canon Story: A Case of Identity
Title: Wagnerian
Author: Castiron
Rating: G

I have admired the works of Wagner ever since I first heard Tristan und Isolde performed. However, after the sad case of Miss Sutherland, I fear I will never be able to enjoy Der fliegende Holländer as I did in the past.

Faithful unto death -- an admirable quality, but only if the object of fidelity is admirable. Windibank is not.

Ah, Wagner! And it's hard to disagree with the last bit: Windibank is not. To call that an understatement is... well, an understatement.

It would serve Holmes right if everytime he heard the Flying Dutchman he was forced to remember Mary Sutherland. Perhaps it would remind him in future not to leave people in their delusions.

Oooh, that's a good one. Stings in all the right ways.
