Call Him Exasperating

Reluctantly, I returned to my seat, and listened with my head in my hands while the ladies were brought back in and Holmes explained to the court why his injuries proved that my reasons for attacking Merridew were urgent enough to justify whatever means had come to my hand. His voice was losing strength, it seemed to me, although only Holmes knew if that impression were deliberate, a ruse to draw Moriarty's fire.

And I was furious at the thought that it might be. How dare he play the martyr, risking the life I had done so much to save?

1. Write down the names of 10 characters.

2. Write a fic of fifteen words or less (a limitation I cheerfully ignored, although I did try to keep them short) for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. DO NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.

( This would have been easier if I'd chosen characters from only one fandom )
