Warnings/genres: mention of canon character death
Summary/Author's notes: Holmes was not the only musical one.



"The Ash Grove" was Mary's favorite song. Many's the time the two of them wove harmonies to it over her piano, and once they'd even been accompanied by Sherlock Holmes. And complimented on the rendition, and him an opera lover.

But whilst the handfuls of earth were falling to her coffin, a fiddler struck up the tune in the next street but one, and it was all Inspector Lestrade could do to catch the doctor's arm before he fell into the grave to join her. Watson didn't faint, though he went as white as a shroud.

He doesn't sing now.

Oh yes. This is the good stuff. I have long pictured in my mind that Watson could sing. But not after Mary's passing. Brilliant!

Oh Watson ;_; You do such amazing things with 100 words, good heavens.

(Also, Lestrade cameo FTW *hearts him*)

Meep. And your subtle alteration of the final word from the customary sheet simile is very neatly done.
