Aversions to Fate

by Active Radios

Drabble series, based on the fifty themes challenge. Alternate universes. There is more to men's lives than the roads they walk down; there are also the roads that they didn't walk down to take into consideration. Chapter eight- Bias.

4. Deceit II

A/N: Continues on from chapter two. I know the idea is silly but I like it so much... I was considering a separate drabble series to keep it seperate from this so I don't fall into just doing ONE AU. Thoughts? Or is that just self-indulgence? XD

#49 - Hair

The first time she cut her hair short was most definitely not a time she was liable to forget.

For obvious reasons she was compelled to do it herself rather than ask another- while the significant backlash was inevitable and obvious even to someone less intelligent than herself, she would rather the backlash occurred because she had done something than because she had considered doing something, truth be told.

This did not change the fact that the backlash was, indeed, significant.

It was rather amusing, she thought wryly, that in punishing her by forcing her sleeping outside her father was rather perpetuating her "delusions" as he called them; such punishments as this would generally not be seen as ones to give to a girl.

Perhaps, Holmes thought as she methodically shifted to gain the most possible comfort on the soil, she should reconsider her theory of her logical prowess being somehow familial after all.
