The Sign of Four: Regret

Canon Story: The Sign of Four
Title: Regret
Author: shadowycat
Character: Sherlock Holmes
Rating: G

As I noted Watson holding hands with our client, a shiver ran through me that had nothing to do with the cool night air. Never before had I regretted bringing him into a case, but as I realized that I would lose him over this one, I couldn’t help but wish that this time I hadn’t asked for his aid.

Somehow this makes me imagine how Holmes would try to hide a case (and a female client) from Watson... there's a lot of fun in that. ;D

LOL! Yes, I could see making that into quite the comedy of errors. :D

Aww.
*Pets Holmes even though he'd hate it*

True. He's not one to accept sympathy, and he'd certainly deny needing it. :D

THIS. Realizing that had to hurt. You could make a good angsty expansion of this about Holmes wishing he'd just let Watson leave when he could have, before Mary ever came. His fondness for the doctor directly lead to Holmes losing him completely. Ouch.

Yes, no matter what Holmes might say, the cocaine bottle is a poor substitute for having Watson at his side. :( Thanks!
