Title: In The Blood
Author: scfrankles
Rating: G
Author's Notes: "It is a mercy that you are on the side of the force, and not against it, Mr. Holmes," remarked the inspector, as he noted the clever way in which my friend had forced back the catch.


“Where did you learn that trick with the catch, Holmes?”

“My mother taught me.”

Watson raised an eyebrow.

Holmes nodded.

“Apparently Mama first met Papa while burgling his family home on a dare. She stole his heart. And his collection of toy soldiers.”

Holmes sighed.

“Papa used to insist marrying her was the only way he could get them back.”

What a charming bit of background.

Logical to a fault!

[debriswoman]

Entirely likely:-p

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

The idea does make me smile ^^

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

A mixture of heart and mind I think ^__^

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

In that family - yes, I think so :P

Aw. Very cute backstory.

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much ^_^

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Well put!

What better reason to marry?

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

There are certainly much worse reasons :P

Oh, charming. Holmes should be forthcoming about his family more often, if these are the family stories. :-)

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

I feel sure he must have quite a lot of interesting tales to tell ^_^

[sanguinity]

It strikes me as very much of a pair with okapi1895's story of the prize watch. :-)

Always suspected the Holmes boys got their brains from Mummy's side of the family.

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Yes, I was just reading Okapi's fic today ^__^

And in the younger Holmes' case, his total disregard for the law ^^"
