Canon Story: The Dying Detective
Rating: Gen
Warning: POSSIBLE SPOILER: Based on speculation about Season 4 of BBC Sherlock based on trailers.

“I think the steak and kidney pie. What say you, Watson?”
“I say that you go directly from ‘miraculous recovery from melodramatic wasting disease’ to ‘death by grievous gastrointestinal assault.’ For goodness sake, Holmes, start with a consommé!”
“I shan’t. The claret and biscuits had a negligible effect. And you’re wrong.”
“About?”
“It being melodramatic. Melodramatic would’ve been going blind.”

Ooh, interesting. Although I'm with Watson - it was melodramatic.

I do think Watson has earned the chance to have his say. Definitely veering towards soap opera:-p

I'm very taken with ‘death by grievous gastrointestinal assault’ but I have to say "For goodness sake, Holmes, start with a consommé!” is my favourite line ^____^

Must admit I haven't seen the Sherlock trailers - not because I'm trying to avoid spoilers (I have picked up various things) but because all the run-up feels so oppressive. And I try and avoid the Sherlock fandom as much as possible - I enjoy a lot of the fanfiction but I find the actual fandom terrifying ^^"

Could be worse - could be the old "the baby's real father is a space alien" plot line.

And I'm with Watson - get some broth inside before you start bolting down beef kidneys, idiot!

Correct - beefsteak and beef kidney cooked in a pastry. Very filling for hungry people living on a cold island, but not so good for an invalid suffering from inanition.
