On the second day of Christmas, Enola Holmes recuperates in her brother's rooms and participates in the preliminary deductions of the adventure that will come to be known as The Blue Carbuncle.
Not my usual MO, but a fun bit of fluff for Winter Holmestice 2025
"Miss Stoner, you're right to be scared.
We'll come on down and be prepared
To wait in the shadows
For whatever follows.
Just leave it to us." Holmes declared.

Grimsby Roylett his daughter did track
And came to Holmes on the attack.
"You'll see I'm no Joker!"
(Then bent their poker)
But when he leaves, Holmes just bends it back.

They later went down to the manor
And spoke to Miss Violet with candor
"If you value your life,
And would be your beaux's wife
Don't sleep in your room" he command her
-=<+>=-
With Watson he waited and watched
The stepfather's plan they would botch
Soon there was the whistle
They knew was the signal
To kick off the murder they'd scotch
-=<+>=-
The assassin they found was a snake
And when Holmes beat it back through the grate
The man who would hurt her
The cold-blooded murderer
Was done in by his reptile's mistake!
June was dying among the roses, the hedges were darkening to a duller green; the blatancy of red brick sprawled along the highway was a reminder that the present builds inexorably over the empty fields of the past.
So I did a thing for Holmestice...the ask was for ACD/Victorian fake couple and I did it, using RESEARCH 🧐
Holmes and Watson must pose as a couple for a case at the mysterious Order of Chaeronea. During that investigation, they witness the misbehaviour of Sir Eustace Brackenstall. Several weeks later, Sir Eustace is murdered on his estate in Kent, the Abbey Grange. Inspector Stanley Hopkins requests the assistance of the great detective in solving the case.
A retelling of The Adventure of the Abbey Grange with a twist; a twist with historical validity.
if your local public library celebrates pride month, let them know you support that. if they've posted a picture of their display on social media, leave a like or a comment. if you see it in person, leave a comment card. if there's a program, even if you can't attend it, find some way to contact the library director to say you think it's great they're having something.
people protest pride in all kinds of ways. they don't want queer books where people can find them. community support where library leadership can see it makes all the difference. be as vocal as you can.
