Bee In My Bonnet

Have I seen Zodiac? Have I heck. But I must admit I was thinking obsessive like the way Dr. Van Helsing is obsessive over Dracula. Although I suppose the difference isn't that great. EITHER WAY yes. Unhealthy obsession with Holmes to the complete detriment of his job and his home and his friends.

It is funny you mention Beauty and The Beast because that is exactly what it was reminding me of. Perhaps complete with a musical number involving a teapot? "There may be something there that wasn't there before...".

I was assuming, of course, that Watson is being kept naked, because Holmes in his brilliantly deranged sort of logic figures that it is much harder to escape if you have no clothing. I'm not sure why that seems important but I am having thoughts about some seriously awkward moments. And Watson angsting about being naked, because I do love a spot of Watson angst.

And part of me wants a moment in which Holmes suddenly realises that it has been three days and he really ought to feed Watson before he drops dead. Simply because it hadn't occured to him that people who are not him need to eat ocassionally. And Watson is grateful but a little weirded out. I want creepy care-taking.

And I want a "you could do so much good, Holmes", "you could have so much power over those mere mortals, my dear Watson" conversation.

I am not sure why dark!Holmes is doing so much for me, but he so is.

You have, of course, given me the answer - there is a dark side to Watson's personality which could easily be played up and manipulated and maybe they could come out the other side as the fabulously brilliant overlords of the world. It would be easy enough to become addicted to things other than gambling, if one is already in possession of an addictive personality.

I suspect once I am done with the bodice-ripper (which is turning out far more serious than I thought it would), I can just tell I am going to start on this. Damn you Holmes.
