Rating: G
Author's Notes: Just how long ago was "some" years?

Those three rowdy medical students had proved steadier men than my story might suggest. Dr. Cruise practices in Belfast, Dr. Huncote studies tropical disease in the Caribbean, and....

Astute readers have certainly realized that I conceal details in the stories I tell of Holmes's cases.

War changed my appearance. I am still grateful that Miss Cushing did not recognize me.

What a brilliant interpretation :D

aaaaaa, I love that twist! :D

It is a wonderful, wonderful twist ^__^

It had occurred to me that after "some years" these rowdy medical students would have grown up and wouldn't be likely to be playing cruel jokes on their former landlady. But it hadn't occurred to me that if CARD really does take place soon after STUD, then Watson could easily have been one of those delinquent students ^^

Hee, hee. Brilliant! Love the twist.

A brilliant notion:-)
Medical students do grow up eventually.

That would have been a terribly awkward convo with Lestrade, if Miss Cushing had. Especially since running around with Holmes likely isn't doing much for your respectability, dear sir.

Ho, ho! Oh, you did my story one better! Headcanon accepted. Watson, you scamp!

What an excellent idea. Though I don't think he could have been too bad a student.

It did surprise me no one found it strange students should hold a grudge as doctors and adults.
