firecat: red panda, winking (Default)
[personal profile] firecat
I picked up a pinch hit for [community profile] auexchange, a themed event for works set in alternate universes. This is its sixth year. This year about 130 works were posted in 100 fandoms.

I wrote about Columbo, the crime-solving antiques dealer.

This way to the fic:

The Secret of the Apothecary (3169 words) by firecat
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Columbo
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Lieutenant Columbo (Columbo), Dog the Dog (Columbo), Original Male Character(s)
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Antique Shop, Murder, Poisoning, Dementia, Smoking, Made-up stuff about Chinese writing, Just one more thing

Summary:
David thought of antique dealers as prim and pristine, but this proprietor was a grubby little man with an unruly mop of hair, a tie askew and half-undone, and a trenchcoat that hadn’t seen the inside of a dry-cleaner’s in far too long.
