Holmestice art + fic
I had the pleasure of creating two gifts for holmestice this year, and since I'm being lazy, I'm not going to repost them on my journal. But here, have some links instead!
ART
Title: Anniversary
Recipient: afrogeekgoddess
Characters/Pairings: Holmes, Watson, Mary Watson (nee Morstan)
'Verse: Granada
Rating: PG
Warnings: discussion of canonical character death
Notes: Many thanks to mamishka for her stellar beta skills and to afrogeekgoddess for her wonderful prompts. Credit for reference photos must go to the Granada series, in particular Jeremy Brett and David Burke, as well as to 123rf.com andshutterstock.com. Finally, Watson paraphrases a sentence from Arthur Conan Doyle's story The Man with the Twisted Lip in his description of his wife Mary, and Holmes' "literary" quote on death is from Michel de Montaigne's Essays. Afrogeekgoddess: I know this is a bit grim for the holidays, but I hope you like it anyway! :)

FIC
Title: History, Revised
Recipient: rhuia
Characters/Pairings: Holmes/Watson
'Verse ACD canon
Rating: PG
Warnings: Angst, grief, brief mentions of canonical violence
Summary: In the spring of 1892, Aloysius Garcia was killed, John Watson was confused, and Sherlock Holmes was in two places at once
Author’s Notes: This is basically my attempt to explain the timing of The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge, which Doyle dates to the spring of 1892 - smack in the middle of the Great Hiatus! I’ve taken a few liberties with history for the sake of the story, since (as my wonderful beta informed me) Wisteria Lodge was actually first printed in the States, and only later in The Strand. Endless thanks to tweedisgood for her fantastic beta skills and to rhuia for the inspiring prompt. Happy holidays!
