Holmes Minor

The prompt for this month is:


Make up


Holmes makes up an excuse as to what has happened to the charred curtains. Several unladylike words make up the bulk of Mrs. Hudson’s response. Watson makes up for Holmes’s transgression by paying for new curtains, and Holmes makes up his face and plans to leave the country. Mrs. Hudson spends the curtain money on gin and changing the locks. Knowing the importance of self-care has always been part of her makeup.


As always, you needn’t use the prompt 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.

(Nothing to see here. Just a negligent mod finally getting the monthly prompt up...)

The prompt for this month is:


Wash


Washing clothes or dishes, or washing oneself. Something being washed up on the beach. Maybe at the Wash, a bay on the east coast of England where King John is said to have lost some of his jewels. A wash of colour on a painting. Whitewashed, washed away. Whatever you choose, it’ll probably all come out in the wash.

The prompt for this month is:


Seat


A seat at the opera. A seat in parliament. The seat of a pair of trousers. Waiting to be seated in a restaurant. A deep-seated fear or passion. Or maybe simply a chair or couch.
