Title: a better way to fall
Pairing: Holmes/Watson (mostly pre-slash), hints of other slash pairings
Word Count: 21,163
Rating/Warnings: PG-13 for language, violence, drug use and a demon
Notes: Hokay. So. Once upon a time back in February, I thought "hey, these Big Bang things seem pretty cool. And look!
A Sherlock Holmes one!" And then, on a chariot of fire,
this plot suggestion descended from the heavens and punched all my buttons.
Several months and several thousand words later, here we are. I have to thank
lienne and
ashen_key, my fantastic betas. Any remaining errors are mine and not theirs.
Finally, the title comes from the Modest Mouse song "
Bukowski," which I listened to on repeat a lot during the planning stages.
Summary: Watson is asked to preside over an exorcism; Holmes, looking for an evening's entertainment, joins him. This is where everything goes wrong. Now it's up to Watson to save his friend. Along the way are Irene Adler, a murder investigation, and a secret Holmes has been keeping for years.
