Words Will Burn

by Lemon Zinger

Title taken from another of my stories, but this is a completely separate series of 100-word drabbles. Obviously centering around Watson and Holmes, who are fighting. Again. Only this time it might be enough to ruin their friendship. I haven't decided.

1. Chapter 1

A/N: I should NOT be starting a new series, but the muse has fled for all my others and I'm depressed.

Minor disclaimer: Shuri has a muse named Malekyte who is pure evil (he was behind Cause of Death). He did help write this. I know this beginning looks harmless enough, but it doesn't stay that way.

He had gotten off of work early and decided to stop by his old lodgings to see how Holmes was and if he had a case.

Mrs. Hudson let him in and greeted him fondly. She complained that he didn't come often enough and that they (though Holmes wouldn't admit it) missed him. He asked where Holmes was and she pointed to the stairs.

"He's with a client."
"I shouldn't disturb him then," Watson said, "I could just come back."

"Oh nonsense, you know he always lets you join his cases, go on up and I'll bring up some tea."
