Canon Story: A Scandal in Bohemia
Title: Wistful Musings
Author: shadowycat
Character: John Watson
Rating: G

While conducting his preliminary surveillance, Holmes unexpectedly ended up acting as witness at the hurried marriage of Godfrey Norton and Irene Adler. Watching him chuckle with glee over the coin she gave him for his service, I couldn’t help but wish that he’d shown even a small portion of that enthusiasm when I asked him to stand up with me.

Ooh, excellent.

Thank you! :D

Oh, yes, this one hits you right in the gut. Watson has every right to be insulted here. His best friend will gladly be a part of a stranger's wedding -- a stranger he is investigating for blackmail! -- but he will not stand at Watson's side for the happiest day of that man's life.

Excellent and rather powerful work here.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it. :D

Bwahaha, poor Watson! I don't think he'd want a witness who's actually trying to rob him. XD

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

LOL. No, but I'm sure he wanted Holmes. :D

So then he wants a witness who's actually trying to steal him, which isn't that much of a difference. XP

Oh, ouch! That never would have occured to me, but it makes perfect sense. Nice!

Thanks! I'm glad it works for you. :D
