This is a Sherlock Holmes AU.
I am working on this because of my lack of enthusiasm for my other stories. I am trying something new to try to get myself interested in writing again.
Shirley Holmes, daughter of Sherlock Holmes, and Jennie Watson, daughter of John Watson, were hired by Dr. Maxine Mortimer and Sir Henry Baskerville so solve the mystery of the Hound of the Baskervilles. The case was solved successfully, ending with John Stapleton being eaten by the murderous hound of the Baskervilles. The hound was shot by Detective Victoria Lestrade and life went back to normal... Or did it?
With John Stapleton now dead, his wife, Dorthea Stapleton was left a widow. Before Stapleton's death, everyone thought John Stapleton and Dorthea Stapleton were brother and sister, a lie woven by Stapleton to get what he wanted. Because of this story, Sir Henry had fallen in love with Dorthea and wanted to marry her. When Sir Henry discovered the truth, it left some tension between him and Dorthea, which became even more enhanced when Sir Henry fell in love with Jennie Watson.
Soon it was announced that Sir Henry and Jennie Watson were to be married. Shirley Holmes was as distant as ever, proving herself in the world of detectives, leaving Jennie alone with her wedding plans. Jennie only had Mrs. Berrymore, the maid; Berrymore, the butler; Victoria Lestrade, the bouncy young detective who no one can get to leave; and Olive, the seamstress; to help her make her wedding plans.
Baskerville Hall bustled with excitement for the upcoming wedding. Everyone was frantically working to make the wedding a success. Mrs. Berrymore busied herself with the flower arrangements while Berrymore provided everyone with the tea and biscuits that were so desperately needed after a long day's work. The tea was, as usual, the perfect temperature; not too hot and not too cold, and the biscuits had the out of the oven warmness. Life was perfect.
But all was not well outside of Baskerville Hall...
