Holmes does have a point! After all, it won't be Lestrade at Baker Street dealing with recovering!watson over the next few weeks. (Doctors making the worst patients!) Crawling around in broken glass and debris, falling down stairs, burns of varying intensities, cuts, contusions, smoke inhalation... a veritable shopping list of whump! All that and the knowledge that Watson would do the same again in a heartbeat. (Poor Holmes!) Thank you for commenting!
I feel almost greedy asking after this great little story, but...it seems only obvious that the next few weeks need to be written? *hopeful face* It'd be quite interesting to see Watson realize (even if only obliquely) what both parties think of him, and how he reacts.
Interesting story. I think it seems very Holmesian to come up with something like that to explain why Watson would do what he would do (not to mention a rationale for keeping him out of the way of danger.) I don't think Holmes is right, but I could totally see him saying it, and convincing himself of it.
Yes! This is exactly why our muses are drinking buddies! I do not need to explain that although there is some truth to Holmes' theory, it is not the whole truth. Holmes likes to simplify and categorise, but that is hard to do with a complex personality like Watson's. Thanks for commenting!
You are correct to think that both Lestrade and Holmes are right. Of course there are other factors at play as well which neither of them are aware of! Thanks for commenting!
I have to thank you again for advertising for art prompts and accepting the verbose challenge I posed. Your eventual results (kidding; well worth the wait!!!) were so overwhelmingly awesome that I had to re-evaluate my earlier premise. I needed to build a better story in order to be worthy of your art. Eventually (not kidding... I was very slow to write this) I changed the plot and fleshed out the details. This is the result. Thank you for your encouragement and advice along the way; especially for the title.
I'm glad you are pleased with the characterisations! Thanks for collaborating!
You're certainly very welcome! Said result is especially pleasing to me, let me assure you: The progression from prompt to drawing to awesome fic fills me with unabridged glee!
Keep writing! And don't worry about taking your time. (Says the expert procrastinator. :D) That's what time's there for, after all.
