Fic: Lionheart
Title: Lionheart
Rating: G
Universe: Granada
Characters: Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Watson
Word Count: 100 (drabble)
Author's Notes: Written in response to JWP #17 (Truth Is Stranger Than) on Watson's Woes. Inspiration taken from the "cyclist chased by a lion" article. Set during the climax of "The Solitary Cyclist."
Summary: Holmes admires Watson's courage at a time of crisis.
“It's abduction, murder, heaven knows what! Stop that horse!”
Anyone else would have balked at my hasty command or just shoved me out of the road.
Not my Watson.
He immediately follows his orders, and without hesitation throws himself into the runaway carriage's path. He is a lionheart who would risk his life to save our client. The frightened horse bucks but eventually stills under his steady arms.
If speed was not of the essence, I would take the time to compliment him on his bravery. A mere two words are not enough, but they are true ones:
“Good man!”
