Rating: PG-13
Characters: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Warnings: water and fire danger, injury
Word Count: 6000
Summary: The greatest heights of danger and discovery await the detective and the doctor on the Dutch steamship Friesland.
By the time they found themselves out on the deck, the ship was beginning to list toward starboard, and already unsteady movement became ever more so. Holmes scanned the deck for options. At first, all he could see was the tilting, smoky bow, the moaning wind, the waves of the choppy, livid ocean. And of course, the two of them. Beyond lay the safety of land and aid, the far windows alluringly bright and shimmering in the overwhelming dark. In between there was only night and water, so much night and so much water, all of it black and deep and unforgiving.
