Fic: Broken Substitutes (1/4) (Holmes/Watson)

[zarah5]

This story was written for help_haiti, although I guess that help_chile would be just as appropriate. However, I think that most of the Haiti donations were not tied to a specific cause, so I’m convinced that Chile will profit just as much from the amazing, incredible result of the fandom fundraising for Haiti. As such, this solely and entirely belongs to purelyironic.

ANd I haven't even read yet! Just need to Squee!
Soo SQUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
And consider this a placeholder for in about ten minutes, after I've inhaled this :D
This is how I like waiting out the storm!

Sorry, this took longer than 10 minutes.

Anyway, poor, poor Mary, but an ingenious way of "dealing" with her, making her the center of the mystery and making Holmes indirectly resonsible for her death. (No hard feelings, I quite like Mary)
Love Watson hitting HOlmes on first sight and how much movie!verse this is. Love how they're both trying to keep the other from their bad habits and failing. And as always your wonderful writing :)

I like Mary, too! But it's actually (book) canon that she dies while Holmes is away, and that Watson moves back in with Holmes. So why not make some sense of that?!

*lol* Which was my first thought when I woke up this morning ;)
Wonderful way of combining everything!

good first part, I like the fact you pointed out both their vices and the contradictions it causes in their arguments. Cant's wait to read the rest.

[zarah5]

Thank you! I love it when all the characters are flawed and kind of failing and need each other on more than one level. And the rest shouldn't take long!

[gogglehead84]

Very good start, I eagerly anticipate the next part to this!

[zarah5]

Thanks a lot! It shouldn't be a long wait, I think. :D

I don't think I've ever read a post-movie fic with this premise before; most interesting. The elements of canon, with a twist. Yay! :D

[zarah5]

It's so much fun to play with books and movie at the same time! I'm really just a kid with shiny toys, yo. (That's the way I always feel about relatively new fandoms.) Thank you!
