Ten Words meme

[elaby]

caitirin did this meme the other day with Konata and Kagami and it was awesomesauce, so I'm trying my hand at ten-word Holmes, er, thingies. I wouldn't dare to call them stories.

Rules: Take the major fanfic categories and write something for each using ten or fewer words.

I used ten for all of them, and it was painful. I'm particularly skeptical about the first one, but I was done and didn't want to think about it anymore.

Fandom: Sherlock Holmes, Holmes/Watson (some of them are slashy, but it's all innuendo, so I'm not sure what to rate it.)



Angst: 1891 - Mrs. Hudson drew down the blinds when I left.

Fluff: Sunlight cut the fog one Sunday; we sailed the Serpentine.

UST: Describing Holmes, I draw not from a writer's dedication alone.

Friendship: "I'd have you with me," he said, "stiff leg or no."

Hurt/Comfort: My blood soaked his shirt-front; still he held me up.

Adventure: More harrowing than Dartmoor was watching Mrs. Hudson's small nephews.

Smut: Not without reason did I describe his fingers as "sensitive."

Humor: "Perfectly safe," Holmes assured me, prior to the fire-engine's arrival.

Thank you! Mycroft is so much fun to play with (that scenario in the last one I've been dying to write for ages). Some day I will set aside a month, and write The Many Adventures of Mycroft, Lestrade and Mrs. Hudson, London's Unlikeliest Crime-Fighting Trio!, because, for serious, secondary character love <3

And YAY!!!! Thankyouthankyou! I can't wait!

Eeeeee! Secondary character love LIKE WHOA! I think that would be the coolest story (or series!) ever XD

They're just so wonderful, all three of them! Sometimes I try to decide which of them I love most, and it makes my brain hurt, because how can I decide between three such equally excellent and yet so different characters? The Holmesian universe is so much richer and more real for having them there, even if they don't show up all that often. And they're all such fun to write!
