The Priory School & The Red Circle

A/N: And what answer do you think Watson gave? Anyone?

“A poor man?” I repeated as we left Holdernesse Hall. “Holmes, we both know that your situation is comfortable and every case you take makes you increasingly so.”

“But I shall not always be taking cases,” replied Holmes. “This will go towards funding my retirement.” He paused. “Or, if you wish it, our joint retirement.”


Canon Story: The Red Circle
Title: Lavish
Rating: G
A/N: "Why, Watson, even your modest moustache would have been singed."

I should like it on the record that there is nothing modest about my moustache. Certainly there are men with more plentiful hair upon their lip, but I have always held that sort of over-abundance as rather vulgar. My moustache has precisely the right level of fullness, and you may disregard all that Holmes has to say on the matter.

Watson should say "yes". And he is the owner of the perfect moustache.

He is. And Holmes agrees, he's just winding Watson up.

I like both of these a lot. The second really made me smile. Of course Watson would defend his moustache... :D

Thank you! And yes, of course he would. No one disses the 'tache, man.

These are both great in their own ways.

The first, ahhh, lovely. I love the hesitance you can hear in Holmes' voice through the text. "Or, if you wish it..."

And the second -- you took on the moustache line! You win the internets for this one. :)

Thank you! I really had to use the moustache line, it was too tempting not to.

I loved both of these! Of course Watson's answer would be "yes". And I can just hear him defending his mustache to Holmes.
