Arthur Conan Doyle and Joseph Bell series - David Pirie
Date: 2021-08-07 03:29 pm (UTC)Media - books
Approx length - it's a novel trilogy, the novels are fairly standard length
Where to find it - available cheaply on Amazon and I expect in other online bookshops too
Summary - it's a mega Gothic Victorian pastiche about Joseph Bell, the historical prototype of Sherlock Holmes, and Arthur Conan Doyle. They're in a kind of Holmes and Watson relationship and solve crimes together (they're heavily fictionalized - they're really fictional characters rather than real people here). They're very angsty and their relationship is super intense and messed up. There's a Reichenbach and Doyle gets straight up suicidal over Bell's supposed death. I have been yelling about these books for years. Help
What I'm requesting - angsty intense hurt/comfort-y friendship, with various specific prompts!
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests? - no, you kinda have to read the whole thing
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence) - uhhh let's see. References to CSA, references to rape, gore, violence, instutionalized sexism, suicide, war trauma. I think this is it?
