One of the greatest hurdles I have found to writing Holmesian erotica is that the possibilities for pairings are limited. I've just never found the idea of a Holmes/Watson pairing attractive, maybe because my image of Watson was created by Nigel Bruce, who played him as a loveable bumbler.
There is, of course, Irene Adler, and there is some positively wicked Holmes/Adler(Norton?) out there, but she just won't do for what I'm after. She's a nineteenth century woman and I'm a 20th century grrl; being in her head just doesn't satisfy me and I consider it cheating to make her into something she's not.
My first posted vignette is an X-treme hurt/comfort, which I call, simply, Escape from Hell. If anyone can come up with a cleverer name I'm open to it. Titles are not my forte.
It is an absolutely shameless bit of self indulgence involving my own particular variation on the Woman In Black, as I have dubbed a particular type of female often appearing in Holmesian fanfic. She is often a thief, usually lives outside of conventional Society, doesn't consider herself subject to its rules, is always physically formidable and anachronistic in her mannerisms.
It sets my teeth on edge when a writer invents a WIB without a believable explanation as to how such a woman could come to be found in Victorian England, and why Holmes, who, though he may break the rules in a good cause, would never approve of, nor accept, one who chooses to break them for her own profit. Certainly not for mere convenience's sake, or because he has developed some sort of instant romantic interest in her. Gahh.
Still, when done all is said and done, for real enjoyment of my particular fantasy, what is necessary is a POV character who is both modern enough in her attitude to enjoy a bit of kink without guilt, and competent enough that she is completely in control of the situation.
Perhaps someday I'll take the time to write in a few chapters of buildup history, but for now I will just post up the "good stuff". If you like what you read, but you want more, please send me feedback.
WARNING: the writing is somewhat explicit, with implied past violence (torture, imprisonment), drugs and a pinch of bondage. Believe it or not, this was originally intented to be a Holmes/Aliens crossover (pay careful attention to her dreams/memories)
Without further ado, I give you Escape from Hell, chapter 1, chapter 2, chapter 3
