holmes_minorIt is Valentine’s Day, and so let us take a wander through the personal and agony columns of the newspapers and see what we can find…
There seem to be people still looking for love:
Landlady, Baker St., seeks her prince. Preferably one with his own gin palace.
And others who are happily attached and sending greetings to their loved one:
You pull at my heartstrings, my beau. Your violinist.
To my sweetheart: I may be just a Yarder but with you I feel 6 feet tall.
I’m sure there must be even better ones tucked away in the columns somewhere. What other gems can you find...? Leave your ideas in the comments!
As always, you needn’t take part in this activity if you don’t wish to. Once you’re a member, you can post what and when you want—as long as you keep to the 500 words or less wordcount and the ACD Holmes ‘verse. AUs, crossovers and fusions are all permitted, as long as the characters remain essentially recognisable as the original ACD versions.

Date: 2020-02-16 10:34 am (UTC)But frankly I’d rather
Be wed to a man
Who was not my stepfather.

I think disgrace is far better
Than being wed to my brother.
