Rating: General Audiences
Universe: ACD
Characters: Holmes, Watson
WordCount: 304
Summary: Holmes thought he had it under control.
A/N: Wanted to write more, but my wrist has been hurting for the last few days and today's the worst, so just writing this bit was already quite painful (and I rested it the whole day...). :(
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was chance, that Holmes saw the letter before Watson did.
It was right on top of Watson's pile, directly besides his own pile. At that time Mrs. Hudson seperated their letters, gaining her a heartful thank you of Watson.
Because Holmes tended to hog all letters, keeping his own and throwing Watson's away - sometimes into the fire.
So there were two piles and normally Holmes ignored Watson's, but on that day he looked over and he saw that letter on top.
Since then he always checked Watson's mail before Watson was able to.
With just a glance Holmes recognized the woman's madness, her greed and her craving. It was in the way she wrote, the turn of the letters, the pressure of the pen.
Holmes already knew what the letter was about even before opening it, but the words themselves just proved his deduction.
The woman was desperately after the doctor's attention, her desire tangable in her words.
Her first expressions of gratitude of his care and wonderment about his abilities soon turned into demands for his attention and ugly proclamations of jealously against other people in Watson's company.
There were questions and requests, then demands and orders and in the threats and insults.
The letters came for a long time and Holmes was always careful to get them all before Watson was ever able to see one of them.
He thought he had it all under control, until one day the woman suddenly stood in their shared flat, drawing a gun and threatening to kill Holmes, because he stodd in her way of happiness with 'her' doctor.
At that moment Holmes still thought he had it under control, but then the door opened and Watson entered the room.
Then Holmes realized that some things - chance, fate, love - could never be under control.
