godsdaisiechain and thesmallhobbitSummary: Sherlock is an alchemist.
He slowly added the elixir and waited for the dark rock to transform. To transmute. To change into treasure.
Nothing.
He screamed and hurled the flask at the wall. And like the flask, he shattered and fell to the floor, his hands covering his head.
He was a natural philosopher. A seeker of truth. A dispeller of darkness. A riddle solver. He would know what others did not know.
He knew nothing.
There was light.
He screamed.
“Hello there?”
His eyes struggled to focus. There was a figure, standing in the doorway. With the bright sun behind him, he looked like a statue. A golden statue that moved and spoke his name.
“Sherlock? Sherlock the Alchemist? I’m here to assist you.”
“I don’t need an apprentice!” he growled.
“Good. Because I have no interest in learning your trade.”
“Then why…? Oh, my brother sent you to spy on me! And once I’ve discovered the Philosopher’s Stone, you will connive with him to snatch it from me and line your own purses! Go away!”
“Your brother did send me. He paid me a week’s wage, and I took it because that is bread to me. Here,” he extended his hand, “is half. I will tell him only what you bid me.”
“Why should I take his filthy lucre?”
“You are after gold, aren’t you? Here it is, in my palm.”
“I am after truth!” he roared. “I am a seeker of truth, a dispeller of darkness—“
“Really? How about this then?” The curtain was torn back; light flooded the room.
He screamed for a third time.
“You are not half as old as your bleating. You need fresh air and more than a bit of sustenance and some order to this place.”
“I don’t need a maid! Or a wife!”
“How about a scribe? I can read and write. You do your work, I record it. For you—and for others, perhaps for many generations to come—to learn.”
He stroked his beard. Impossible to deny that there was a fleck of wisdom in the stranger’s hubris.
“One week and if I give no satisfaction, I leave.”
“What is your name?” he asked sharply.
“John.”

This is lovely - what a brilliant transmutation of the source material ^_^ That's such a wonderful last line, and I love the little touches of humour in John's reactions to Sherlock.
At first, I was hesitant to go in for this comm, but the badges really make it worthwhile. I like the fact that you're only competing against your own creativity and/or productivity. There's no hit or kudos counter to stare back at you. And there are so many different kinds of badges, they are like prompts in themselves, no?
My hat is off to you, you write original fiction. Like from scratch. That puts you in a higher, entirely different, league of creativity. If I didn't have Sherlock and John to start with, I probably wouldn't be writing.
But honestly, writing original fiction is not a higher form of creativity. I write original fiction and fanfiction, and personally I find fanfiction more difficult. It's a tougher discipline, and I can only admire writers like you who write it well. And as far as I can tell, people who write fanfiction well generally write original fiction well too.
And what a great take on the prompt.
