The last three weeks, all in one go to catch up.

Canon Story: His Last Bow

Two years of mangling my native language took several weeks to put completely behind me, but there were benefits. I am not sure which amused me more: the startled look on my brother's face when I asked for his glad hand, or Watson's collapse into laughter at my automatic exclamation of 'darn it' after dropping a book on my foot.

Canon Story: The Lion's Mane

Pairing: Holmes&Watson
Rating: G

Standing by the pool where McPherson met his death, the frustration of knowing that I was missing something burnt through me. Two things, I should say – one fact, hovering just out of reach, and one Watson to whom I could have laid out the data in order to sound out a solution, missing from his place at my side.

Canon Story: The Mazarin Stone
Author: flawedamythyst
Pairing: Holmes/Watson
Rating: G

I would not usually have allowed being addressed as 'Holmes' in that overly-condescending tone by such a man as the Count to trouble me, but it had been too long since I had seen my Watson and heard his more pleasant voice call me the same. I did not wish the memory of it to be drowned out so quickly.

Oh, I loved all three of these, and I particularly liked the way you tied them all together! I also find it interesting that Watson is missing in two of your own three. Very clever!

Thank you! And, yeah, Watson should never be missing, it's not nearly as fun without him.
