Verse: Watson and Holmes
Author's summary: “I have often found it inconvenient [to be a black man] in America.” – Bert Williams

Reccer's comments: For those unfamiliar with Watson and Holmes, it's a comic book series that features the title characters as black/African-American men solving crimes and living at 221B Baker Street in Harlem. You can buy it digitally on Comixology.

Anyhoo, with a black Holmes and black Watson in NYC, they would be bound to run into racial profiling, to be arrested for doing something while black, even as they work with a police force that is most notorious for it. gardnerhill's short fic imagines such an incident as Watson arrives at the apartment to find a note waiting for him.
