Five Times Holmes Attempted Suicide...
Written for the Sherlockkink Meme prompt:

Five times Holmes seriously considered/prepared for suicide, and the one time he tried to go through with it, only to have Watson save him.

YES. As if you filled this so quickly and so awesomely. Fantastic. Le sigh, oh, the angsting, the unnecessary drama that is Holmes, how I love it! Oh, literary attempted-suicide kink, you will just not quit me. Again, love.

Holmes had been terribly nervous and practiced carefully rehearsed conversations in front of the mirror. The last person he'd want to embarrass was Watson.

This image was particularly inspired. *sniffles* Poor Holmes, it kinda reminds me of the genius math geek hanging out with the star jock. He's trying, doomed to fail, but he's trying and...and that counts. Good 'ol Watson too. *sniffs*

And this: "...and he wondered if it would be rude to enter a match just to stand there, and take the blows."

This had me seriously wailing from the pain of it. Delicious angst. Mmmmph, yes. Marvelous piece. Thank you for it.

"Thank you." Watson's footsteps. "Oh, and one more thing..." something in his voice, laced with false cheerfulness. "Fuck off."

OMG OMG OMG YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVED THAT BIT

The angst was beautifully done, bb. A wonderfully painful story. ♥ ♥ ♥
