Beta readers: thesmallhobbit, lorelei_lee1968
Verse: ACD
Rating: Explicit
Pairing: Holmes/Watson
Word count: 20K
Summary: "I'm easy to find," said the young woman. "Hell, London, gets me every time."
The real story behind "The Adventure of the Illustrious Client".
Warnings: Mention of non-consensual BDSM (not involving Holmes or Watson)
Notes: This was written for cleflink as part of the Winter 2015 holmestice gift exchange. Based on The Adventure of the Illustrious Client, which is my new favorite ACD story. This is omegaverse, but a kinder, gentler omegaverse in which there are no heats or mating frenzies. My deep gratitude to lorelei_lee1968 for help with Victorian BDSM practices. She is a font of esoteric knowledge. And a huge thank you to thesmallhobbit for help with all things Victorian, British, and grammatical. Both of them signed up for something of a much smaller scope but gamely agreed to keep going as this expanded beyond all reason.
