Title: The Queen's Guard
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~6,000
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Irene Adler, James Moriarty
Warnings/Content: mention of attempted suicide
Summary: In the caves of Afghanistan, John died once already. But in a world ruled by creatures more terrible than divine, death isn't always permanent, and when a half-human stranger stumbles into his life, John has to decide what he hates more: the Royal bloodline, or that peculiar heart which won't let him die...
Notes: A crossover off BBC's Sherlock series with Neil Gaiman's A Study in Emerald. Written for hollyxu for the holmestice challenge. Thanks to anatsuno and mrlnpndrgn for the French bit, to houseinrlyeh for making sure I adhere to the Mythos canon, as far as that's necessary possible, and of course to kisahawklin for the marvellous and speedy beta.
