Story based on The Adventure of the Dying Detective

[m-chris-h.livejournal.com]

I just read a retelling of The Adventures of the Dying Detective in the BBC 'verse and I was reminded of an old story taking place during the case. I remember very little but I'd love to read it again. It takes place in Victorian times and I'm pretty sure it's Holmes/Watson slash or at least pre-slash. I only remember part of it. Watson was very hurt that Holmes didn't trust him as a doctor and believed that everything Holmes had said was right, so he decided to leave. I'm not sure what happened to him then. Holmes notices something is wrong when Watson doesn't return. I think he went looking for him?

Does this seem familiar?

Do you remember where you read it? That helps sometimes!
And it sounds like the kind of fic I'd have read when I started in this fandom (ACD+H/W+angst!) but it doesn't sound familiar yet.

I don't remember where. I think it was a fanfiction archive for Sherlock Holmes stories but I'm not sure. I think I remember that the layout was a white background with blue or purple font, if that helps?

I don't know the story, but your description of the layout reminds me of Katie Forsyth's liquidfic.org. She has a number of fantastic ACD H/W stories. Perhaps you might find it there? (http://liquidfic.org/twelfthnight.html)

keerawa is talking about Katie's Undiscovered Country which is here: http://liquidfic.org/undiscovered.html, but I'm not sure that's the one you mean. In that one, Watson is accidentally poisoned by Culverton Smith's box.

I've read several stories revolving around the same general idea although, of course, I can't remember the names of any of 'em. Can you remember any more specifics about the story?
