Fic Rec: "A Wise Wager" (Sherlock Holmes)
Feb. 3rd, 2010 09:45 pmEventually I'll be posting a whole rec list of lots of good fic/art done for the
sherlockkink meme, but meanwhile this fic gets its own post all to itself because I've read a lot of awesome stuff there so far but this one is kind of in a whole other league.
Suffice it to say that after seeing the movie I dallied around the meme reading some amusing H/W slash but was not sure at first whether I could actually ship it seriously or if I just appreciated the cuteness and hilarity of it as a friendship...and then after I read this fic I was sure, and haven't stopped reading this ship since. Haha.
Title: A Wise Wager

Characters & Pairings: Holmes/Watson
Universe: SH09
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Written for the prompt: "Gambling. I'm not sure how. Watson either loses his half of the rent and food money (again), a fic about Holmes having to hold Watson's money for him, Holmes being a sure bet in the ring, or something off the top of your head. Maybe victory sex after Watson finally wins one. I don't know. I just really want to hear more about Watson's gambling addiction."
Link: If you gain, you gain all...
