Canon Story: The Blue Carbuncle
Title: Nest Egg
Author: [livejournal.com profile] scfrankles
Rating: G
Author's Notes: ...the bonniest, brightest little blue egg that ever was seen. “I have reason to know that there are sentimental considerations in the background which would induce the Countess to part with half her fortune if she could but recover the gem." And this, boys and girls, is what happens when you leave your 60 to Saturday evening...


“I can never repay you, Mr. Holmes.”

The Countess held the carbuncle tenderly.

“It should hatch within a year now. My little daughter.”

“Ryder’s gone,” whispered Holmes. “Your maid, what will you..?”

“I’ll fire her.”

Holmes’s eyes widened.

“Dismiss her,” smiled the Countess.



Holmes was trembling on his return.

Watson nodded sympathetically.

“I’ve heard the Countess is rather a dragon.”

Khaleesi Countess Morcar is rather formidable.

An interesting take on the story. Will there be a follow up?

This could be a Temeraire crossover. You need plot bunnies, don't you? :)

Haha! You realise now you've suggested it my brain will lodge it for future use ...

Clearly another of these new fangled things - I've not seen/read it either. Apparently there's a Stark in it, but this isn't the same Stark whose in something called The Avengers. (Which doesn't have John Steed and Emma Peel).

Hee! I think the Countess thoroughly enjoyed that momentary misunderstanding.
