The Three Gables: Slightly

[okapi1895.livejournal.com]

Canon Story: The Three Gables
Rating: Teen (i.e., someones are in the broom cupboard, but you can’t tell exactly what’s going on)
Warning: Holmes/Douglas Maberley
Author’s Note: Someone on the Sherlock Kink Meme has actually asked for Holmes/Maberley. Here’s my 60-word attempt. 

He rolled onto his back, reached for a cigarette. “How ‘bout an evening ramble?”
“It’s almost morning. Another dance in Trafalgar’s Square?”
He laughs. “We’ll wear masks. No one will know us.”
“All of London knows you, Douglas.”
“All of London will know you, Sherlock. One day.”
“You’re magnificent.”
“You, too. My last night in London. Let’s make more memories.”

I do like this idea.

And I thoroughly approve of the new Broom Cupboard rating system.

Thank you! If you squint, you can see a bit of parallel between how Holmes describes Trevor and how he describes Maberley, so that's what I was going for. Two young lads before they make their way in the world.

Thank you! It is a bit more enlightening, no?

I'm enjoying the broom cupboard rating too ^___^

And it's such a poignant story - the title adding to that.

Thank you. Our distinguished comm member asked for a more descriptive rating system. I am happy to oblige :)

Yeah, he is rather effusive about Maberley, even though it is just a few comments. My mind went to Trevor and sort of ran from there.

A fascinating notion
And thank you for using the correct broom cupboard rating:-)

Yes, I didn't make the connection myself but I found it easy enough to explore--at least for 60 words.

You're welcome. It is more helpful, I think.

I'm not at all surprised someone prompted Holmes/Maberley! It all but screamed off the page at me, that one. :-)
