Catch Me, When I Fall

Summary: Hundred-word drabbles with lots of angst. The title came from an Evanescence lyric. Any of these ideas are open for adoption if you want to use them in a story.

"Watson?" Holmes called as he opened the door to the sitting room.

"Welcome back." I said, hiding my agitation that he was back so late. I turned and to my horror was confronted by the bleeding and shaking form of my friend. He swayed and I was up in an instant, catching him as he fell.

"Good God Holmes! What happened?"

"Thugs… too many…" Holmes gasped, clinging to my shoulder as I helped him to his room.

This was not the first scare, nor would it be the last. I fetched my bag, prepared to stay with him all night.
