Category: Sherlock Holmes (movie)
Rating: K
Language: English
Characters: Sherlock Holmes, Irene Adler and John Watson
Genre: Humor
Summary: A rainy afternoon at 221B Baker Street. Irene's bored, Watson's trying to get some work done, but Holmes is the only one being productive. OneShot.
Irene's Aria is my oneshot foray into Victorian England. It was published on FanFiction.Net on September 1, 2010, a school night when I was supposed to be doing homework and naturally decided to write some fanfiction instead. It's canon according to the first Sherlock Holmes movie and plays off of Robert Downey Jr.'s and Jude Law's characterizations of Holmes and Watson, though Irene's history comes from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself.
Aria takes place an indefinite amount of time after the movie. It assumes that Irene either doesn't leave London after Holmes handcuffs her on the bridge or that she returns after some time and they get married. Watson is now a published author who still finds himself in his old rooms on Baker Street more often than he would like to admit. Holmes still gets into the dumps in between cases, and it is in the midst of one of these droughts that we drop in on him, though he's not as bad as before. Irene is, for all intents and purposes, a reformed thief.
