Sherlock Holmes 3

(part 3 of ?)

"Very well, then."

Holmes' light tone causes Watson's smirk to slip. He can't shake the feeling: he done messed up.

Then, Holmes steps up on Watson's writing desk and tumbles out of the open window.

Watson swears under his breath at the dramatics, but doesn't look to see what's become of him. No, no. He's not looking. That's what Holmes wants him to do, the theatrical bastard. He stews in his chair and folds his arms. He crosses his legs. Five seconds pass. Then ten.

He violently jumps out of his chair and sticks his head out the window.

Below, two stories down, is a horse-drawn cart full of piled hay. Across the street, Holmes is brushing off his lapels, and wafting bits of hay float behind him in a trail. He strides off with purpose and speed.

Watson shuts the window. Then he growls and reaches for his coat.

“You see, hidden within the unconscious is an insatiable desire for conflict. So you’re not fighting me so much as you are the human condition. All I want to do is own the bullets and the bandages. War on an industrial scale is inevitable. They’ll do it themselves within a few years. All I have to do... is wait.”

JARED HARRIS as PROFESSOR JAMES MORIARTY Sherlock Holmes; A Game of Shadows (2011)

For the 'fic that sounds like you' meme: An epistolary version of Ritiche-verse Hound of the Baskervilles, in which the sheer terribleness of Holmes's disguises means that Watson knows from the first that he's come along to observe the case, and Watson's exasperated case report letters to him drive a bantery, passive-aggressive, reluctantly flirtatious team effort to take down whatever the Hound turns out to be (because of course Ritchie verse is too Extra to leave it as just a dog).

ACK! I feel, as the children say, so seen. The Hound would almost certainly be a steam punk version of this:

The Holmes/Watson relationship smacks of “we dated once but you broke it off and we decided to be friends but now that I’M trying to move on, you’re trying to pull me back in and I keep trying to resist you but god damn it it’s hard”
