Sherlock Holmes is my first fandom. I learned of fandom through BBC Sherlock and then re-discovered the original Sherlock Holmes stories and other adaptations.

I'm surprised it's taken me this long to do a Holmes collage but I ordered some specialty paper and stickers from Etsy for my birthday.

Of course, it's very easy to make Holmes murder-y.

I did a Gen-rated triple drabble for

holmes_minor.

My eyes fluttered open at the sounds of arrival; then mingled surprise and horror in the other room.

“Holmes! Are you still in the bath?”

“Yes, Watson,” I replied, adding, “for my sins.”

“Clark Russell is splayed out on the rug, spine broken, jacket disarrayed, covered in kippers and, oh, I can bear to look at it, spilled milk! Who could have done it?! You’re a detective! Detect the culprit!”

“Bricks and clay, my dear man, but may I suggest a Jezebel.”

“No doubt, a shameless animal has been afoot. And you, doing nothing to prevent this hideous crime.”

I rose up from the bath and dried myself quickly, the better to attend to my irate companion, his damaged book, and Mrs. Hudson’s newly-acquired cat, named for that most famous of Phoenician princesses, who had a penchant for making much of our breakfast things when they weren’t cleared away promptly.

“…but, Holmes, I didn’t think you knew who the murderer was.”

“Of course, I did. And I told you so.”

“I asked you directly and you said it was a mystery.”

“No, I said it was a Mr. E. All the clues pointed to Mister Edgerton.”

“Puns are contagious.”

“Apparently.”
