Drabble: Highlander/Sherlock Holmes, "Anderson hates Sherlock"

[marbleglove]

Since I manually post entries to both livejournal and dreamwidth rather than set up a mirroring system, I completely forgot to duplicate this drabble from February. Anyway:

I rarely write drabbles, but this plot-bunny sprung up and demanded a story so I decided to see if it could be appeased with a drabble. Cheers,

"Anderson hates Sherlock" (in 100 words)

Most people assume Anderson hates Sherlock because Sherlock is bloody irritating. Some people think it's professional jealousy--Sherlock himself seems to be one of these. Very few people think he really has a dark secret, but his extramarital affair appeases those who wonder.

The real reason is that Sherlock has trapped Anderson.

With Sherlock around, Anderson can't wear his sword. With Sherlock around, Anderson can't speak Hindi like a native.  With Sherlock around, Anderson can't leave.

Anderson has been Anderson for twenty years, has a broken marriage, and is ready to die and become someone else. Anderson really hates Sherlock  Holmes.
