Verse: Ritchie films

Author's summary: Written somewhere between 2am and 5am and not betaed by anyone else. A fill for a kinkmeme prompt: Holmes and Watson are in some sort of situation for which the chances of survival are slim. They are silently sharing one last cigarette, and then one of them is just like "fuck it" and then they kiss and it's like, first kiss and last kiss and we're about to die and I never told you I love you but I do all rolled into one epic kiss. And then they go and face almost certain death together.

Reccer's comments: What it would be like if Holmes and Watson were Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and if there were huge amounts of UST between Butch and Sundance. I swear the ending gives me goosebumps every time.

The fic could also be read as ACD!Holmes and Watson if you ignore a fleeting reference to the dog; somehow, I always picture them that way.
