Sherlock Holmes (ACD) : Poetry : Bravery

  • Oct. 1st, 2017 at 3:17 PM
Title: Bravery
Author [personal profile] mafief
Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (ACD)
Rating: PG
Length: 78 words (three stanzas in the format of blue stanza)
Content notes: pre-slash, unresolved pining, POV Holmes
Summary: Post-Reichenbach AU where Holmes has been cursed and this is his last 24 hrs.


In my last day to live, I will spend it with you.
I require nothing extraordinary, only you.
But will I be brave enough to voice the taboo?

In the easy companionship we've always displayed;
I have always hidden and never displayed.
Yet, my affection for you has never strayed.

Will you return my love and not send me away?
Will you embrace me and not run away?
Can I say the things I've always wanted to say?

This is lovely, seeing Holmes longing for some love from Watson at the end.

The feels! I think this fandom lends its self well to deep feelings of longing, worry, and fear.
Thanks for reading. :)
