Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes
Rating: G
Warnings/Content: N/A
Author’s Notes: "And the ring?" I asked, glancing at a remarkable brilliant which sparkled upon his finger. "It was from the reigning family of Holland, though the matter in which I served them was of such delicacy that I cannot confide it even to you, who have been good enough to chronicle one or two of my little problems." [IDEN]

Een belangrijk familielid wordt vermist. (Nederlands is niet mijn moedertaal...) My first attempt at a fic in Dutch. Written for the November 2018 Prompt: Family.

Title: I, Sir Arthur
Rating: Gen
Poetic Form: It started off a clerihew and grew longer.
Length: 174
Notes: HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIR ARTHUR!

I, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
would rather be boiled in a vat of hot oil
than have a true Renaissance vocation
reduced to him, that tiresome creation.
Why, oh, why is this world so remiss?
Won’t you recall who brought skiing to the Swiss?
And the war! Which? Why, the Boer!
You’d think that the world might
since it made me a knight.
What about bodybuilding? And Portsmouth United?
But do let’s forget when my cricket kit ignited
[Ball to matches in pocket. I went up like a rocket.]
I solved crimes! I wrote history!
I even went looking for Agatha Christie!
So many answers to so many calls,
save for those cottage girls and their damned paper dolls!
And, uh, that once I nearly poisoned myself.
Oh, why doesn’t Professor Challenger sit as proud on the shelf?
Oh, well. If you must
remember me thus
I suppose
I’ll lie in repose
he who created the world’s greatest sleuth, or so the world claims,
he who begat Sherlock Holmes
and his loyal chronicler
James.

Title: The Violet Boat Rally
Rating: Gen
Length: 221b
Notes: Meta-crack. All the Violets + Phil and Ray (OMCs, but not really because they're actually soccer announcers).
Summary: The first race to see who is the speediest ACD canon Violet on water.
Author's Note: For the Feb. prompt: the violet. The first motor yacht race was held in 1903, so it's still (a tiny bit) within the scope of canon.

Title: Nom de Furet
Wordcount: 170
Characters/Pairings: Watson, OFC
Rating: G
Warnings/Content: N/A
Author’s Notes: Written for the January 2018 prompt: Revelations.

Watson smiled at the young journalist. “And your next question, Miss Rushlow…?”

Miss Rushlow glanced down at her notes. “A great many readers have wondered why your descriptions of Inspector Lestrade varied so much, Doctor. I believe on separate occasions you compared him to a rat, to a ferret, and also to a bulldog. Is there an explanation for this?”

“Well, now. I suppose I can be honest at last after all these years.” Watson chuckled. “The truth is, I gave all our inspectors pseudonyms so as not to hinder their work! ‘Lestrade’ was actually used for three different men: Smith, Miller and Castleman.”

“Oh.” Miss Rushlow’s face fell. “So does that mean there wasn’t a particular inspector Mr. Holmes and you were friends with?”

“You’re thinking of the ‘Six Napoleons’ chap!” Watson nodded vigorously. “That was Inspector Charles Miller. Definitely the inspector Holmes and I were closest to.” He smiled fondly. “I always had the greatest of respect for old Ferret Features.”

“That… does seem apparent,” said Miss Rushlow.

Warning/Content: Holmes receives career advice from a very helpful Professor.

Rating: Gen
Notes: Historial AU. Sherlock Holmes meets Doctor Joesph Bell and Doctor Henry Duncan Littlejohn.

Title: Moon Over Ruined Castle
Rating: Gen
Length: 500
Notes: Vampire!Holmes, Original Canine Character (Barabbas the wolf); poetry: 3 lines of an Italian sonnet; a tanka + 1 line.
Summary: On Warpurgis Night, a vampire makes a discovery.
Author’s Note: This ficlet rose almost fully formed in my head after listening to this Japanese folk song Kojo No Tsuki (Moon Over Ruined Castle) and I recommend a listen to get the full flavour of the setting. This also borrows heavily from Bram Stoker’s short story “Dracula’s Guest” as well as Dracula. For Halloween. For Kinktober Day 25: Smiles/Laughter. For the October prompt: tales of the unexpected.
