Trying this crossposting thing again, and a meme!

[lady_ganesh]

As all my WIPs have stalled, it's time for a meme:

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. If you absolutely can't write, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drawings or icons or something instead.

Consolidating comments at Dreamwidth for obvious reasons; also, I wanted to see how it worked.

EDIT: I should have said-- if you don't want an OpenID, you can always post anonymously with your handle.

Comments

This took forever and is certainly NOT a drabble

"Holmes," Watson said, "I do wish you'd stop reading that quite so...obviously."

"Watson," Holmes said, drawing his lanky frame upward from his usual slouch to meet his friend's gaze, "I believe you are well aware of the importance of research to my studies. And I know you realize that even the most esoteric studies can bear fruit in a case."

"Well aware indeed," Watson agreed. "But are you, Holmes, aware that while you research, our beloved housekeeper is quietly writing her letter of resignation? The Amatory Experiences of a Surgeon is no doubt wholly educational, but reading it under her nose is discomfiting to the poor woman, to say the least, and taking obvious and copious notes merely adds insult to injury. Can you spare her sensibilites just this once?"

Holmes sighed and put the book down. "Fine," he said. "The things I do to please you both."

Of course, Watson reflected as Watson reshelved his current project, the truly discomfiting fact was that Holmes really did read such works for research.
