Remnants of Calamity

[rabidsamfan]

I knelt by Holmes. "I'm doing this under protest you know," I murmured as I began to undo the strapping. "Your ribs need the support."

"It's necessary," Holmes answered, his fingers digging painfully into my shoulders, his jaw set too tight for more words.

Layer by layer the cloth came away, and revealed on each pass more of the hideous aura of yellow and green which had expanded to cover Holmes's torso from collarbone to beltline. The colors deepened, dark mottling following the indentations left by the constrictive bandaging as I worked my way towards the heart of the damage.

wanted to drop a note saying, even though I'm not much of a reply-er, I do enjoy these little vignettes very much

**hugs**

I just read the whole saga up to this point, and am enjoying it IMMENSELY. You are a fantastic drabbler, packing a lot of punch into each little vignette. :) Can't wait for more!

THIS I did not expect. But obviously Holmes felt it necessary, to counteract Merridew's theatrics.
