Tuesday – Book Titles

[cornerofmadness]

Hello, everyone. I’m cornerofmadness As a reminder, we are using a new posting schedule. Sundays are for Lonely Prompts and sharing the fills that you completed during the week, Tuesdays and Thursdays are for new themes and prompts, and Saturdays will remain a Free for All.

Today's theme is Book Titles. It’s been a while since we’ve done this and there are so many great titles out there. The possibilities are limitless. Scour your TBR pile, search your library, go to your comfort reads, there are titles aplenty to spark the muse for new stories to tell.


Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ Hazbin Hotel, Angel Dust + any Who Cries for the Lost ( by C.S. Harris)

+ Prodigal Son, Malcolm Bright + any, Your Blood My bones (by Kelly Andrew)

+ The Owl House, Willow Park + any A Botanist's Guide to Parties and Poisons (by Kate Khavari)
+Helluva Boss, any, Lies on the Serpent's Tongue (by Kate Pearsall)
+ The X-Files, Dana Scully +/ Fox Mulder Bookshops & Bonedust (by Travis Baldree)

Fill: Sherlock Holmes (ACD): Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Inspector Lestrade PG for various deaths

[smallhobbit]

Both Lestrade and Holmes were convinced that Percival Grosvenor had been murdered by one of his sons, but the evidence was contradictory for, unless all three had been working together, which seemed implausible, especially given under the terms of the will where the eldest son was the main beneficiary. It was therefore a surprise when a constable arrived one morning to say Lestrade had requested our immediate presence and sent a police vehicle to convey us to him.

Lestrade showed us into the dining room, where we found all three brothers sitting around the table, all dead. Cautiously Holmes sniffed the glasses they had been drinking from and I considered the corpses. They had all died from poison and Holmes confirmed it would have been in the glasses.

"But why all three of them?" Lestrade asked. "Did the murderer make a mistake and accidentally poison himself?"

Holmes shook his head. "No. I think we can conclude that Charles killed his father, but I learnt late last night that he is seriously ill and has but a few months to live. He opted for a quick death, rather than a long drawn out one. But, as he had no wish for either of his younger brothers to inherit the family wealth, he chose to kill them too."

Thank you. A three pipe problem is a classic Holmes quote, so my mind instantly went there.
