Canon Story: The Adventure of Black Peter
Title: A Daughter's Farewell
Words: 60
Rating: PG
Warning | Contains: canon domestic violence

Her father's yelling was a familiar ruckus in the night. Still, Shelley Carey went outside, lantern in hand. A broad-shouldered man strode past; she saw him clearly but she'd never tell the police. In the cabin, she stood before the dead man on the wall. Never again would he beat them. Never again would he drive them from their home.

"He was a goodhearted man when he was sober, but a perfect fiend when he was drunk."

But that's what men believe, Theresa thought as she stood by the window. Women knew such a fiend was always present; the good heart merely a mask shown to the world. Outside, Sir Eustace broadened the hole in the ice for the single swan living on the pond. That he would show more care for this bird than for his wife, her mistress – imprisoned in a home growing icier with each day! Theresa touched the bruise where the silver decanter had hit her, and as she watched the pond glitter in the sun, a plan took shape in her mind.

***

A doll lay in the crib, and not the baby. The boy snarled.

"Jacky!"

He turned to face us, arrow in fist; his expressionless ice-blue eyes were one of the most terrifying things I'd ever seen.

Holmes smiled. "See if you can paralyse this doggie, Jacky-lad." He released the lead.

And the Giant Rat of Sumatra rushed into the nursery.

“Watson, your latest story in the Strand is ridiculous.”

“Sorry, Holmes. Lestrade had bet me I couldn’t write a tale with a jellyfish in it, and I had to prove him wrong”

“I hope your winnings were worth it.”

“Oh they were; they certainly were.”

Watson put the telephone receiver down and looked at Lestrade, who smirked back at him.

Warning for canon character death.

I have accepted Holmes invitation to spend a weekend at his cottage. It was tactfully made, for he understands my grief. It will be a relief to speak freely of my loss, in a way I dare not generally do. For when I lost Mary I could mourn openly, this loss, equal in pain, must be kept within my heart.

It was inconvenient, deucedly inconvenient, to respond to Holmes’ telegram immediately. We therefore ignored it, until we had finished taking our pleasures. I thought Holmes might have had an inkling of what his telegram had tried, but failed, to interrupt, but to be honest, I doubt he’d have paid any attention to me had I arrived wearing a gorilla suit.

Warning: Holmes/Douglas Maberley
Author’s Note: Someone on the Sherlock Kink Meme has actually asked for Holmes/Maberley. Here’s my 60-word attempt.

He rolled onto his back, reached for a cigarette. “How ‘bout an evening ramble?”
“It’s almost morning. Another dance in Trafalgar’s Square?”
He laughs. “We’ll wear masks. No one will know us.”
“All of London knows you, Douglas.”
“All of London will know you, Sherlock. One day.”
“You’re magnificent.”
“You, too. My last night in London. Let’s make more memories.”

“Do you think I should ‘cut out the poetry’?” asked Watson.

Mrs. Hudson perused the manuscript. “How any decent woman could have tolerated such a state of things… The house… was slatternly…”

She looked thoughtful.

“It’s fine. And given me some… practical… ideas.”

Watson nodded. “You’re going to repaint?”

Mrs. Hudson was not quite making eye contact. “‘Repaint’… Of course.”

***

“Sir Robert.” Holmes stood looking out, white-faced. “Perhaps you should not have interred your sister in that particular sarcophagus.”

“How dare you disturb her rest!”

I intercepted Norbertson at the doorway – and all three of us witnessed a spindly wraith rising from John Mason’s corpse, blood staining her mouth and shroud. “Oh, brother, dear!” it trilled.

Holmes and I fled.

Such a sad case. I have been reminded of when I lost my dear Mary and the affair has left me feeling low. My joints are stiff because Holmes was right, Pompey, even on a lead, set a pace we were hard put to keep up with. I am grateful to Lestrade for easing both my body and my mind.

Mycroft couldn’t possibly climb the railings, which was why I had to do so. However, Lestrade did give me a hand up, and where his hands went in the process I cannot recall without blushing. It was fortunate the fog obscured our actions or we would have had to endure the Holmes brothers tutting at our behaviour during our wait.

Following Lestrade’s visit this morning when he compared the description of Milverton’s murderer to my own description, he called again this evening. We agreed certain possible events will never be mentioned between us, and then went on to an act which will never be mentioned except between us. It seemed the perfect way to seal our understanding of such matters.

Author's Notes: ...there stood a tall green safe...this green and gold monster, the dragon which held in its maw the reputations of many fair ladies. A CHAS AU, and a follow-up to this BLUE 60.

A strange child kept hidden. The whispers were intriguing enough that Milverton simply had to investigate himself, and—

“Aaaaargh!”

The Countess of Morcar rushed in. “Athelinda! What have I said about reducing blackmailers to ash in the nursery?”

She smiled indulgently at the little dragon.

“Still. It keeps your secret safe until you finally learn how to take human form.”

Lestrade was still annoyed with his constable when he called round that evening. I reassured him it had been worth calling Holmes in, for the visit had proved of great importance, and then set about distracting him. Before long his humour was vastly improved, although I was left with the problem of how to explain the stain to Mrs Hudson.

“Hafiz, Horace, and Holmes the Horse’s Arse! You will tell her the truth!”

“Or?”

“That,” I said, snatching the hunting-crop from his hand, “is mine, and you will separate that girl from her delusion in as kind and as gentle a manner as possible, or I shall resist every urge—and request—to paint your pale hindquarters red!”

“Yes, Captain."

Summary: Holmes channels Dupin.
Author's Note: According to wikipedia, "the story of David's adultery sets up the context for the penitential Psalm 51. The final verse of the psalm is: "Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar."

“Rheumatism troubling you, Watson?”

“How’d you deduce that?”

“Association of ideas. After I spoke of David and Bathsheba, you shifted uncomfortably in your chair. The former violated the latter at the bath, which is where you seek relief for your afflictions, is it not? I forget, how does that penitential psalm of David’s end?”

I chuckled. “With bullocks on altars.”

Author's Note: Last 60 words of my poly Holmes/Mary/Watson fic, A Trifle More, which is the full-length version of the one published for the Holmes_Minor September prompt. Probably cheating, I know.

Sleep was near, like a client oscillating on the pavement.
“I have neither the character nor society’s permission to tend to him as you do. And he is so conspicuously loved; his person, wardrobe, everything about him says so.”
“I act as any wife.”
“Indeed. I should have thought a little more.” I heard him smile. “Just a trifle more.”

So, at least Holmes is here, but as far as I can see that is the only good thing about this case. Selden is dead, and although a convict, no man deserves to die that way. And we are still not in a position to act, which means Stapleton may yet accomplish what he has set out to do. Damnation!

On discovering her brother's torture, Sophia finally understood: it was never her defects that caused Harold to act so. She cowered before his anger and promised obedience, to be good, to come away quietly. Not for her own life, but Paul's.

Harold apologised later, as he always did.

But this time she recognised the crocodile's tears, and did not forgive.

Notes: Sophia does come see Harold because she's lonely.

Blood, blood, and more blood. Sophia felt as if she could never wash it from her hands, her mind, her heart. She did her duty by Paul, and killed the man she once loved, but her feminine perception, as Sherlock Holmes called it, told her that life would never be the same again.

Next time, she would choose more wisely.
