garonne
Pairing: Watson/Mary, Holmes/Watson
Length: 2500 words
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Verse: ACD Books
Author's summary: Nothing but unspoken words and unspent passions, declarations never made and caresses never given.
Holmes and Mary Watson have an after-dinner conversation about Watson.
Reccer's comments: This is a 'small' fic, but one in which a great deal goes on, despite the constrained setting. There is no action, no train rides, no clients falling headlong on the carpet; even Watson is absent for most of it. It only covers a little space of time, just an after-dinner conversation between Holmes and Mary Watson. Not much is really said, but afterwards they understand each other a great deal better. Nothing is resolved, the ending is bittersweet; as the author says, with "unspoken words and unspent passions". But of course, we know as the characters do not, that there will be a resolution eventually - and one that they do not expect and cannot anticipate, which serves to make their situation all the more poignant.
