Canon Story: The Speckled Band
Title: That deadly reptile Trouserus snakeus.
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Holmes/Watson; bed-sharing of the knocking up variety; phallic puns; crack.
Summary: The morning after the return journey from Stoke Moran.
Author’s Note: “Some of the blows of my cane came home and roused its snakish temper…” Also happy mother’s day to all the people who mother!
“Watson.”
“No, Holmes. Any damsel in distress will have to suffer through whatever murderous designs are upon her until nine o’clock. Good Lord!”
“No blows of my cane, just the nudge of my shaft, my dear fellow. Is it coming home at all?”
“Holmes!”
“Pity. I’ve roused your snakish temper when my aim was to spur other, equally serpentine, parts.”

Happy Mother's Day to you! ^_^

Oh, dear... *giggles* I love Watson's initial: “No, Holmes. Any damsel in distress will have to suffer through whatever murderous designs are upon her until nine o’clock. Good Lord!” And your warning: bed-sharing of the knocking up variety ^_^

And Holmes may want to work on his seductive skills a bit. Or at least wait until Watson has had a solid nine hours sleep ^_^

The perils of being knocked up too early!

Thank you. The trouser snake pun had to be made, and I guess it had to be made by me. Yeah, Holmes's not really a smooth operator here, is he? He's got to work on his finesse.

...is that you're libel to get the door slammed in your face...or other parts...:)

Back to the drawing board, Holmes...

Yeah, he need to work on his powers of persuasion, not as keen as his powers of observation.

Some snakes must be coaxed. No whistle, but perhaps a tender violin solo...

Hee, hee. So true.

Thank you. And thanks for the writing meme. I rarely think about the way I write or what I write so it was nice to reflect a bit.

My pleasure, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I love hearing how different writers approach their stories. If you ever want to post your thoughts about your own style, I'd love to read them. You are so prolific, it's awesome!
