Sherlock Holmes/Merlin: Holiday
Fahye said, "OMGOODNESS, I want a Merlin/Sherlock Holmes crossover thing. Set in Magical Albion Whateverness, with Holmes & Watson coming to court. Maybe to solve a mystery. As they do." References Merlin 1x09. Originally posted here.
How He Did
Sherlock Holmes/Merlin. G. Holmes, Watson, Uther, Gaius. 142 words.
"The question is not whether Tristan du Bois has risen from the dead," Holmes explains, "but how he did."
"It's sorcery," Uther assures them.
"You keep saying that like it means somethi--hunh!" says Holmes, the last syllable being caused by the sudden application of Watson's cane to Holmes's shoe.
"What he means, your majesty," Watson says with a smile, "is that we will give this investigation our most thorough attention. Your have our word."
Uther watches the pair leave the court with their heads bowed in argument ("Watson, do you know how much these shoes cost me?" "Shoes are the least of your problems right now!" "You must take me shoe shopping at my earliest convenience."), and says to Gaius, sotto voce, "Tell me again how you know these people."
"Holmes once poisoned my dog, sire," Gaius replies.
Uther nods sagely. "Ah."
