Sherlock Holmes Ficlet: From the Archives, PG, Holmes/Watson

[gyzym]

So, I wrote some random stuff at shkinkmeme this week, but this is the only thing I produced that I actually like, except for the grad student AU, which I'm going to post a whole, um, chapter of in short order here. Help meeeee.Anyway, the prompt for this little ficlet was: "In Victorian London the post was delivered several times a day. Postcards were

I love this so very much. Having JUST seen the film, I can say categorically that Holmes is perfectly Holmes, and Watson is undoubtedly Watson. It's cute, funny, a little sexy and very delicious.

Thanks for posting it here.

Elr.

TRUE STORY:

When I see your name in my google inbox, I automatically go OMFG PORN ELR SENT ME PORN YAY.

Not that getting a comment so lovely as this isn't also wonderful, but I thought you'd like to know you've got me conditioned. Just call me Pavlov's dog, I suppose :P

I wish I was sending you porn today...all I've got is a great big hot mess on my desk.

It's been crap since I checked my email at 5:30 am...and no signs of improvement.

WAHHHHH!

Has it occurred to you, in all your infinite wisdom, that the best gifts are perhaps those that do not require asking after the welfare of the recipient?

Not sure why, but that strikes me as amazingly in-character for both of them (that Holmes would need to be told, and that Watson would tell him). Brilliant. And adorable.

It's actually from the gorgeous fanart of sadynax - I can't draw to save my life but I can stick a drawing on a background and add text. It is completely snaggable if you are so inclined.

Hee, thank you :D

Ahahaha I love this so much!

I love it! I wish our post still came that often - it really was like e-mail is now, wasn't it? And did you know that if you wanted your post to get to its destination faster, you could write 'Haste, haste, haste, for life, for life, haste!' on it? I doubt that would work nowadays.

But there is something sort of romantic about handwritten notes and I love how you've captured their affection here. Also pretty darn funny! :D
