Written (late) for the watsons_woes JWP practice prompt 02: Your practice prompt: In a minor key. Use the POV of a minor character in some way.


That Doctor Watson had above average intelligence and a patient disposition was obvious from the fact that my brother had enjoyed his company for some years and, conversely, that he had put up with my brother's erratic habits.

That the Doctor would eventually wed was not a surprise, but Sherlock's acceptance of Watson's wife was a surprise, indeed. That he made an exception to his distrust of women was remarkable.

That I was favorably impressed by her wit and intelligence was astonishing.

I only hope she will be able to keep the Doctor happy now that my brother is gone.
