Two Cach-Up Fics: The Greek Interpreter and A Case of Identity

Two more that I seem to have missed--but now I think that I am only missing Hound and I'm not quite up to re-reading that at the moment.

Canon Story: The Greek Interpreter
Author: shouldboverthis
Rating: G
Warnings: None

For all of his dismissal of women and his admission of being beaten by only one, on many an occasion Holmes would encounter women whose fortitude he admired. Although he did not meet her in person, he long maintained that Miss Sophy Kratides effected a revenge worthy of the greatest heroes in the ancient plays and poems of her country.

Canon Story: A Case of Identity
Rating: G
Warnings: Sexism and abuse of Freudian theories

In later years, when the theories of Sigmund Freud came to dominate the field of alienism I, rather uncharitably, wondered if Miss Sutherland had recognized more of her stepfather than any of us thought, even if unconsciously, for it seemed well-nigh impossible for me to believe that even with his precautions and her poor eye-sight she should be so deluded.

Go you for catching up! Lovely pair, here. Am especially partial to the first one :)

Thank you. He really seemed certain that she'd killed them, which seemed very interesting.

Again, awesome job catching up! I like both of these bits of insight about some of the women of these stories.

Thank you! Doyle always seemed a bit inconsistent with Holmes' feelings towards women.
