60 for 60 fics: DEVI and DYIN

Recent 60-word fics posted to the LJ community [livejournal.com profile] sherlock60 for "The Devil's Foot" and "The Dying Detective".



Canon Story: The Adventure of the Devil's Foot
Title: Experiment

It is only an experiment, nothing more.

I am a scientist; I have worked with many toxic chemicals. Of course there is danger, but if I take adequate precautions, I should avoid the worst of the hazards. How many times have I studied poisons before? And yet I still breathe.

It is only an experiment. What could possibly go wrong?


Canon Story: The Adventure of the Dying Detective
Title: Third Time
Author's Notes: Using the chronology that puts DYIN post-Reichenbach.

Twice I have thought that I would lose him to death. First by a criminal mastermind at Reichenbach; and now by a heinous poisoner.

I pray that I shall not see the third time. But if I do, I will not believe him dead until I have performed the autopsy myself, until I hold his cold heart in my hands.
