Prologue

A short time ago, in a land far, far away (unless, of course you live in London then it was a land very close to you) the lived a man named Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock was a very interesting person even before he was [insert drumroll here] cursed. After he was cursed I suppose that you could say that he was doubly interesting if you wanted to.

So anyway, a very powerful witch cursed Sherlock. It's a cliché, yes, but that was what had happened. The witch's name or at least the pseudonym she gave to the consulting detective was Irene Adler.

To cut a long story short since I wanna get to the important/cliché bits about the handsome man that would save Sherlock. All I will say is that Irene took it really badly when Sherlock rejected her advances. She was quite sexy of course but Sherlock wasn't interested and once he found that she wasn't as smart as she had seemed he was ready to wash his hands of her.

So she cursed Sherlock to live as a beast because if she couldn't have his beauty then no one else could either. But unbeknownst to her a wise old fairy that lived under the name of Mrs. Hudson had cast protective charms over Sherlock after he had done her the favor of ensuring her husband's death.

So instead of becoming a beast full time, which would have really sucked, the curse was weakened and instead Sherlock was cursed to become a beast only at nighttime. It was a nuisance to the consulting detective but it was better being a full time beast he supposed.

The part that annoyed him most was that he was so bored a night since his huge paws couldn't handle his delicate science equipment and Mycroft being the tyrant-um the caring older sibling that he was- made sure he stayed in his flat at night.

I'd regal you with other stuff about the annoyance that was Sherlock's transformation but that would take too long and would be boring so I'll just move into the story.

A/N a little idea that shouldn't have to many chapters. I just wanted to take a break from my Harry Potter story. Updates will come pretty quick and chaps will have around a thousand words to them so fairly short chaps. It's kinda silly so yeah.
