Shoscombe Old Place

Title Unwanted Gift

Author tweedisgood

Rating G

Note: As has been pointed out, Shoscombe Old Place was the last published (April 1927) in serial form of the Canon Holmes stories. ACD died in 1930. But what if we are playing The Game?



“There will be no more stories now, but what a gift he left you. He made you immortal, Holmes.”

“An unwelcome prospect, Sir Arthur, I can assure you.”

“Come, now, be a little grateful. Men have fought wars for reputation. You truly wish it otherwise? Why?"

“Simplicity itself. A legacy cannot be enjoyed with the giver.”

Very poignant.

[tweedisgood.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

seconded.

(ironic though - given ACD's view of Holmes versus his own literary reputation)

[tweedisgood.livejournal.com]

Oh, indeed. In my current WIP I'm giving Holmes some (temporary) revenge on that score.

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

Ha! Good for you - and Holmes!

I'd have loved to see that happen. Sparks flying?

[tweedisgood.livejournal.com]

It's my head canon that Holmes can't stand Doyle and Doyle thinks Holmes is a wierdo, lol.

[spacemutineer.livejournal.com]

Ah, this one aches. I love it.

[tweedisgood.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I get a little pain in the heart region whenever I think of either of them having to go on alone...
