The Pugilist, the Detective, and the Doctor

by Eyebrows2

Sherlock Holmes accepts a foolish challenge from an old friend, encouraged by Watson's disapproval. The outcome may be particularly painful. Please read and review - it would make me very happy! I've tweaked it a little - bit more hurt, bit more comfort!

1. Chapter 1

The Pugilist, the Promoter, the Detective, and the Doctor

Prologue
