Canon Story: The Resident Patient
Title: Sea Monsters
Author: scfrankles
Rating: G
Author's Notes: ...that other later one connected with the loss of the ‘Gloria Scott’, may serve as examples of this Scylla and Charybdis… ...they were among the passengers of the ill-fated steamer ‘Norah Creina’, which was lost some years ago with all hands…



“Great news!” called Charybdis. “The Fates have cast us in another Holmes case!”

“Oh,” said Scylla.

Charybdis frowned. “Thought you’d be pleased.”

“Well...” said Scylla. “Isn’t it getting a bit samey? The villains get away by ship... We exact retribution... Don’t you feel typecast?”

“Yeah. But think of all those ‘resting’ supernatural entities,” said Charybdis. “Let’s not… rock the boat.”

Aha! Another mystery solved! Yes, there does seem to be a pattern of "thought you were going to get away with it" sunken ships - sadly, also for the client once in a while (VALL).

It was thesmallhobbit who pointed this pattern out to me. And spacemutineer in one of her discussion posts suggests maybe Poseidon reads the papers... ^^ (I do cling to the hope that John Douglas faked his death though.)

A pattern neatly highlighted
Even the Fates grow weary.

Scylla frowned, "But still, just once it would be nice to blow them onto an island, Uffa perhaps.

After the groan, I have to admit that's an excellent and original idea. Thank you for sharing it.
