I'm almost sixteen now. You'd think after almost ten years, I'd have gotten over it enough to sleep through the night. You'd think I'd have given up on Da changing at all. You'd think a lot of things, and yet it was all the same. The famous Sherlock Holmes, nothing but an angry, insufferable, and closed off man in a big house, with a husband he didn't deserve and a daughter he practically refused to believe existed. How utterly boring.

Emmalynn Watson-Holmes is sixteen and well on her way to following in her Fathers' footsteps. After a break-in that changed her life at six years old left her scarred both physically and mentally, Emmalynn is taking her life- and risking her life day by day to be someone even the great and closed off Sherlock Holmes could be proud of. Full of mystery, danger, heartache, and romance, poison and puzzles is a new, modern, queer take on the continued adventures of Sherlock Holmes. This story follows the point of views of Emmalynn, Sherlock, and John as they navigate their way through their latest - and perhaps most dangerous case.
