Title: The Three Garridebs: But If I Did
Author: gardnerhill
Word Count: 60
Rating: G
Warning: Disgustingly sappy (well, for Holmes)
Summary: Sherlock Holmes had posited a rhetorical question at the end of “Devil’s Foot.”

***

“I have my answer, Watson.”

I looked up, startled at the first words Holmes had uttered since we’d turned Evans over to Lestrade.

“You witnessed it.” He steepled his fingers. “I would, indeed, act as did Dr. Sterndale, or Jefferson Hope, under identical circumstances.”

I blinked stinging eyes.

Identical.

How efficient of Holmes to condense three oft-used words into one.

This Sunday, 7th February, we'll be posting our 60 word ficlets for The Three Garridebs.

It may have been a comedy, or it may have been a tragedy... Two men with the unlikely name of Garrideb search for a third. And Holmes shows just how human he really is...

If you haven't tried 60 for 60 before, full information - including our schedule - can be found on our profile. But in essence: you read ACD's story and then you write a 60 word story inspired by it! You don't have to post a story every week - just join in whenever you feel like it.

Each Sunday we will also have our weekly discussion post, and Mrs. Hudson's Poetry Page. Any poems inspired by this week’s story can be left as a comment on her post. Mrs. Hudson informs me that this week's featured poetry form will be the Tyburn.

You can choose one activity, or have a go at everything. Or just come along and read the 60s! (And have a chat in the comments ^^) All options are absolutely fine.

Hope to see you on Sunday ^^

Notes: Watson's PoV.

Many thanks to

hardboiledbaby for her help with proofreading.

One might assume Holmes’ long acquaintance with the criminal world would inure him to the sight of injuries.

Apparently, not if they're mine.

“You're bleeding!”

“Holmes, it’s a mere scratch.”

My foolish hope that he would calm down was destroyed by the Yarders’ arrival. Lestrade rushed in, face pale. “Doctor!”

Both of them fussing over me - a nightmare come true.

John Garrideb
Had spun a web
To retrieve the notes not printed by the bank
But his scheme came to naught, as he was thinking like a Yank

I must admit to being delighted that Mr Holmes tracked down Killer Evans and foiled his plan; although I was less than happy when I heard what had happened to Dr Watson. I have again pleaded with the doctor to be more careful, even though he assured me that it was only a scratch and told me not to fuss.

Author's Notes: It may have been a comedy, or it may have been a tragedy. Run fast, run far, Hopkins…

“So you enjoyed the play?”

“Watson, it was glorious!” laughed Holmes. “The comic misunderstandings! The melodramatic ending! I simply cannot comprehend why no-one else was amused.”

Still chortling, Holmes went to ring for supper.

“You appear puzzled, Doctor,” sighed Hopkins.

“No, it’s just…” Watson hesitated. “I thought you were going to see ‘Romeo and Juliet’.”

Hopkins groaned quietly. “We did.”

This week we’re having a look at The Three Garridebs. As always, I’ve typed up a few thoughts to get the ball rolling.

( Discussion continues... )

This Sunday, 7th December, we'll be posting our 60 word ficlets for The Three Garridebs.

And so we come to the most famous whump in the canon...

Holmes has been spending days in bed (steady) but now is up and taking an interest in a new case. Will it truly be possible to find a third man with the curious name of Garrideb..?

If you haven't tried 60 for 60 before, full information - including our schedule - can be found on our profile. But in essence: you read ACD's story and then you write a 60 word story inspired by it! You don't have to post a story every week - just join in whenever you feel like it.

We also offer a second challenge: pick a character from ACD’s story and write a clerihew about them. You can choose to write a 60 and a clerihew, or you can do one or the other. (There's further information about posting on our profile.) Or you can just take part in the weekly discussion. All options are absolutely fine!

Hope to see you on Sunday ^^

Title: Sentiment
Author:

Rating: G
Author's Notes: Bickering like an old couple is one of my favourite tropes to write.

“My, Mr Holmes, are we turning a little to the sentimental side?”
Mycroft wasn’t entirely sure how to interpret Jane’s comment, or whom it was directed at – himself, or his brother. He put down Watson’s report.
“You have read it?”
“Of course. I love to get the galley proofs. Oh Sir, I wish that just sometimes you were as sentimental.”

Author's Notes: Funny office stories are too much of a temptation.

Old Abrahams was a spider – or a dynasty of them – living in the antechamber of Mycroft Holmes’s office, where Jane Moriarty resided. He became the synonym for her mood as, whenever the latter sank, she would try to kill the beast. Such occasions influenced the city’s criminal activity to such an effect that Abrahams’s wellbeing got its own filing cabinet.

Author's Notes: Thought Jane deserved more cool half-world scenes. Now, what may have moved her to step into her sister's little footsteps...?

They had handled Kitty’s case with mildness, and yet the sentence could only be prison. She wished that it had been life-long, for what was she to do upon her release? Slowly she climbed into the police wagon.
A woman sat inside.
“Good morning, Miss Winter,” she said. “I thought you might be interested in a minor governmental accounting position.”

Title: Methods

Author's Notes: Jane isn't the one for technical knowledge, but she sure as hell has the contacts to make a lazy department a very uncomfortable place.

“Hypnotically soothing? I’d say hypnotically antiquated,” Mary Holder chuckled whilst filing away the latest of the Doctor’s reports. Kitty Winter shrugged.
“Everyone has their method. To Holmes it’s hypnosis, to Doctor Moriarty it’s employing us scum.”
“Exactly. If you’d be so kind as to go back to work now,” the freshly installed intercom system, one of Jane’s latest toys, snarled.

Character(s): Sherlock Holmes, John Watson
Summary: Holmes reads between the lines.
Warnings: Spoilers for an important event in 3GAR.
Word Count: 60, plus an extended-play version (100 words).
Author's Notes: 60 words of my own inspired by one of the canon stories. In this case, also inspired by the original publication date of 3GAR (1924).
Disclaimer: I don't own them.

3GAR – Method
The details have been changed almost beyond recognition; certainly beyond the ken of his casual readers. But I am no novice in understanding Watson’s writing. He is dozing in his chair, but I need not wake him to understand.

It is 1924, and although Watson’s health is failing, he is still with me. History could have so easily gone otherwise.

Extended-play edition (100 words):
The details of the case are changed almost beyond recognition; certainly beyond the ken of his casual readers. But I am no novice in understanding Watson’s writing. The detailed description of a hermit scholar cut off from all others; the almost-trivialized description of an injury (and a fall, I can still see him stagger and collapse in my mind’s eye) that l briefly believed fatal.

He is dozing in his chair, but I need not wake him to understand. It is 1924, and although Watson’s health is failing, he is still with me. History could have so easily gone otherwise.

O/N: Bad language again this week

I rather liked the rhythm of “What the hell is an artesian well?” but my constant repetition of the phrase did not receive the appreciation I felt it deserved. No sooner did I hear the comment of “For goodness sake will someone shut that bloody parrot up!” than I found that once again there was a blanket over my cage.

‘Watson, you were gunned-down by a genuine Wild West gunslinger from one of your yellow-backed novels!’

‘Luckily you managed to cosh him on the head. I didn’t even manage one shot for his two. I must be getting old.’

‘Perhaps we should reconsider retirement. Criminals these days have traded cleverness for violence.’

‘What, and give up my bullet-wound collecting hobby?’

Author:

Rating: PG
Author's Notes: It may have been a comedy, or it may have been a tragedy.
So, one of each.

Good Copy: It may help to read this one out loud. (It may help…)

An Englishman, an American and a gentleman of French extraction walk into a 60 word story…

“How did you escape?” wondered Holmes aloud, closing in on Watson’s assailant.

“My dear sir,” retorted Evans, “it may surprise you…”

“Nothing surprises me,” said Holmes.

Watson burst in. “Holmes, wait! This isn’t Killer: it’s his virtuous twin brother!”

“Oh,” said Holmes. “‘Good’ Evans.”

Wild West: “If our Wild West friend tries to live up to his nickname, we must be ready for him.”
A Wild West AU.

Doc Watson and Kid Holmes: notorious throughout the West.

Well, two against one didn’t seem fair. Evans drew without warning, instinctively aiming for the better marksman.

A hit. Watson clutched at his leg.

But just a graze, goddamn it. Evans swivelled towards the Kid, caught the fierce look and froze.

Turns out Doc’s main protection wasn’t his gun after all.

Welcome back, everyone! Let's have some canon Sherlock Holmes discussion, shall we? What did you all think of The Three Garridebs? As always, I've written up a few of my own random thoughts and questions, which are behind the jump. Please add your own in the comments!

There's no Granada TV adaptation to discuss this week, which is truly a shame. This would have been a great one. We'll see elements of the story in a future episode, but not the best parts. Feel free to commiserate here about our loss.

( Onward to canon talk - The Three Garridebs )

spacemutineer.livejournal.com

Hello, friends! Welcome back. Let's have some fun! For this Sunday's Sherlock Holmes canon reading and writing pleasure, we'll be taking on The Three Garridebs. It's an odd little tale that starts small but carries a wicked sting at its end. A criminal is revealed, but that isn't what you'll remember this story for.

Unfortunately, there's no Granada TV adaptation for this story, which is tremendously disappointing, because you know that would have been great.

Here are your completely optional prompts for 3GAR. Feel free to use one, both, or neither.

Optional prompt #1: If ever there was a time for hurt/comfort, this is it.

Optional prompt #2: "one and only"

Haven't joined us for 60 for 60 before? We'd love to have you jump in too! Everyone is welcome. You can learn more here (including the schedule), but the basics are easy: read the story, then write a 60 word ficlet inspired by it. That's it! It's fun, it's quick and you'll love reading both the wonderful classic canon and the terrific variety of fic we all come up with. Come have fun with us! Thanks, see you Sunday!

Author's Note: Not what you thought. =)

The good doctor has gotten used to many of my ways, sadly without looking past most of them. When I stay in bed for days, it is hardly ever due to fatigue, and much more in favour of the speed the depths of mind will only produce when consciousness is carefully subdued.
Nonetheless, it is simply a very lovely bed.

Title: Expectations
Rating: PG

As I watched my revolver go disappearing over the parapet of the bridge, I realised that Holmes was right. I really can be incurably slow at times. How else would you explain my failure to learn the most basic lesson of our friendship? Never lend Sherlock Holmes anything without expecting to see it lost, damaged or destroyed in some way.

Canon Story: The Three Gables
Title: Bachelorhood
Rating: PG

A man as full of vitality as Douglas Maberley brought down by that fiend of a woman, and no way for justice to be served. Watson thinks my opinion of females to be too harsh, but this case is evidence enough that romance is a dangerous risk not worth taking. Bachelorhood suits me (and my Watson, of course) far better.

Canon Story: The Three Garridebs
Title: Desperation
Rating: PG

Watson has remarked more than once upon my ability to remain cool when faced with threats of violence. It is not bravery, for I have never felt much fear of injury to my own person. Seeing Watson hurt is a quite different thing, however, and my desperation then revealed just how poor I am at remaining cool when truly afraid.

Holmes decided that, following my recovery from being shot in the thigh by Killer Evans, we should have a short break on the south coast to provide some further time for convalescence. The first morning we walked to the nearest tobacconists, but, on seeing the name of Garrideb above the door, by mutual agreement we walked further down the street.
