A/N: While I've written fanfic many times before- on this site no less!- this is my first foray into SH fic, so I'm rather nervous, I must admit!
This is going to be one of the many, many drabbleseries in this section, and like several of them it's both a.) going to use the fifty themes from the livejournal theme community (unofficially, anyway) and b.) going to be based around AUs. ...Many of them will be, may I add, really ridiculous. It's all in good fun!
I do not know if there will be pairings yet; if there are, I'll mention them before the drabble. There may be slash, femmeslash, and for that matter, het here. Canon, non canon, and totally ridiculous ones. If any of these offend you, I'd rather you simply didn't read that chapter, please! I don't want anyone upset. Anyway, I've rambled. Please enjoy the series!

The decision, while a unanimous (and yet equally unspoken) one, was nonetheless one which seemed to tug at both Holmes's and Watson's minds in the week or so preceding their respective departures from Baker Street.
That was not to say either particularly wished for the opportunity or means to prevent it, however. While they could certainly be said to be amiable with each other at times, and even rather friendly, it had become an undeniable fact over the last few months that they were in no way suited to prolonged exposure to each other- for reasons that could even, Watson thought, be deserving of another of his lists.
And yet the both of them- even Holmes, who clearly thought himself above such things- felt something strange within themselves even as they shook hands and bade the other farewell. Something snapping, fancied Watson; something handed to him, perhaps, that he had handed back.
A road, he thought rather strangely as he turned to watch the strangely thin figure walk in the opposite direction to himself, not taken.
