ajdhksdfjdhfdg Oh, this is so much fun. Okay, my turn. ::rolls up sleeves::
I assume Watson moonshines as some sort of freelance coroner, and that's how he knows the police? So, while he's exchanging polite pleasantries with Lestrade he overhears some WIP case and of course gets curious. He learns -- through more or less morally acceptable ways -- that the criminal the police is chasing is the elusive crimelord Sherlock Holmes, whom everyone knows is a crook but don't actually have any evidence against him, so they can't throw him into prison. (I have a vague idea that Holmes specializes in various forms of theft and fraud? I'm open to anything, as long as it's not murder.)
Yes to Watson living a rather "lukewarm" life. That's perfect; keep that! And because of this, he gets more and more fascinated by Holmes, and tries to find out everything about him, starts collecting newspapers, tries to learn Holmes' trademarks. Basically, he becomes a complete fangirl and drives everybody nuts. (Pretty please, can there be a scene where Watson asks Lestrade for further information, possibly classified, and Lestrade goes "OMG get a life! >:O"?)
I really like the idea that Holmes deliberately baits Watson. ♥ I think it would be more logical if he notices Watson after Watson has noticed him? Like, Holmes learns there is a civilian who is just a bit obsessed, spies on him, and then comes to the conclusion that Watson has to be his partner. Because Holmes is a very, verly lonely person and wants a friend. I vote that Holmes "invites" Watson as well! :D That's a lovely idea!
Personally, I always imagined they were in London. I don't think Holmes needs to hide; since he is so awesome, the police will never have proof enough to convict him anyways. Which changes at the end of the story? I admit I kinda want to see Holmes and Watson: Famous Criminals ride off into the sunset together and start their life on the run, or something like that. Possibly heading for France.
I have no image whatsoever of Moriarty, and as long as he's not played by Brad Pitt, I'm happy. (I've never actually seen Star Trek! :D)
Hm... ::ponders:: What you say definitely is a good idea. I can imagine Irene being a sort of not-enemy to Holmes, in the same way Moriarty is, only with less poison-laced tea? And am I allowed to be so self-indulgent as to request homosexual!Holmes and completely smother whatever UST there ever was between him and Irene? But I like the idea of having Irene as a rival; it could further deepen Watson's feelings that he and Holmes are a unit -- more "us vs. them", so to speak. (Also, why do I imagine Watson's response to the exchange would be "I'm not his sidekick, and what do you want from him, anyways? >:|")
And before I forget; just to make sure, this story is told from Watson's POV, right? Not from his 1st person's POV or anything, but in a 3rd person sort of way? Argh, you know what I mean. Right?
ALL RIGHT, THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS. I haven't even played Bioshock, neither has my brother, and I only stumbled upon this song. That you already know it is-- You know, I might have to reconsider my atheism. Is this merely coincidence?
Well, if you want to be like that, my dear Watson, I may perhaps remind you of the times when I had to pay the rent all by myself? That reminds me, did you ever retrieve those cuff links you lost?
