Weeks had passed since the great snowfall had been cleared away. Last night’s accumulation was meagre in comparison, yet slippery enough to warrant caution. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson paused during their walk.
Watson toed the snow with his boot to assess its compacting qualities: the clump held together in a satisfactory way. The ghost of a smile passed his face.
‘In the words of the playground vernacular, ‘Don’t start something you cannot finish’, Doctor’, warned Holmes, taking a step back.
Watson grinned, already deciding against taking action. Knowing that he could still be considered a threat was good enough.

Date: 2011-02-20 12:22 pm (UTC)I only had 100 words to play with and Watson felt confident he did not need to throw that snowball to make his point. (But Holmes did get to suffer a little!)

Date: 2011-02-27 11:38 pm (UTC)I do have a question, though - and please forgive me if I'm being awfully obtuse - but what is the "gaslight" part of the fandom? I googled it, and I'm assuming you're referring to the Gaslight Grimoire stories...which are, what, science fiction/fantasy/supernatural pastiches? I've never heard of them before
and I hope I'm not the only one who's so clueless, so I'm quite curious to know more about them.no subject
Date: 2011-02-28 12:38 am (UTC)This was my first attempt at the 100 word drabble. I’m glad you liked it!
As for the term gaslight, in this case it refers to the Victorian era setting, rather than BBC Sherlock, or Holmes in Space, or other alternative universes. And while being set in Victorian times, it is non-specific and may be canon, Granada, or Ritchie!verse.

Date: 2011-04-29 03:37 pm (UTC)I picture a snowball fight between the two would end up as a draw, more or less. Watson with the early lead, finally overwhelmed by Holmes, because he cannot stop laughing.
