Yes, exactly, Holmes commits crimes that will prove a challenge. I bet he even anonymously tips the police off before he pulls off a coup. "Dear Scotland Yard: I'm planning to steal the Crown jewels this Friday 22:00. Love, Me." (I read an essay once about the "Holmes was Jack the Ripper" theory. It... sort of doesn't add up, if you ask me.)
ajhaskdjsfhd That dialogue YES. YES. Exactly like that!
All right, I wasn't going to mention this, but then you had to do a Watson=addict comparison. Remember that I spent last night browsing music? Well, I came across a grunge rock cover of "Toxic" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8XK0AZZlug), and, well. I don't know if I should laugh or cry, because apparently the immortal words of Britney Spears sum up my conception of AU!Watson perfectly. ::facepalm:: Hey, this is why bandying ideas is such a brilliant thing! :D We come up with different things, and we tweak them together. ♥
It's an internet rumour that's been fleeting around for a while. I only hope they're wrong! D: I've also heard whispers about Hugh Laurie playing Mariarty, though, which I have nothing at all against, if nothing else because then I can imagine an EPIC scene where Laurie!Moriarty, RDJ!Holmes and Fry!Mycroft match wit with each other and the screen implodes from sheer awesome. (Why do people find Brad Pitt sexy? I've never thought that. Neither do I think Orlando Bloom. Also, I'm afraid I can't take Mr. Pitt seriously, because his last name means "dick" in Swedish.)
Yes! The Gregson&Lestrade comparison is perfect. Maybe she could be something of a behind the scenes figure? Like, a while into the whole Beauty&theBeast situation, Holmes gets in a huff, and when Watson cautiously asks what's wrong, Holmes vents and rants a little about That Woman. Which just foreshadows and builds up to Watson's GRRRRR-behaviour towards Irene when they finally meet. (Threeway bickering FTMFW!)
Camera on shoulder! That's the expression I was looking for! Wasn't it I who use it in the first place? Gods, fail, much?
Also, I've been thinking about this obsessively, but I'm feeling self-indulgent and hey, we already have creepy comfort/care-taking and handcuffs, why not throw more kink into this story? I want at least one instance where Holmes has some kind of seductive Join Me-speech, where he--in his particular creepy-cute way--sort of helps Watson rebuild his self-confidence by telling him how wonderful he is. Preferably this happens when Watson is still in his "FUCK YOU, HOLMES!" period.
And another question! What do we do with Mary? Lestrade will remain as a secondary character throughout the fic since he is the Token Policeman, but what about Mary? After she leaves Watson, what then? Do Watson and Holmes break into her home and steal something utterly worthless knick-knack just for the fun of it and to mess with her head? Does Watson have to fib his way out while Holmes hides himself from Mary's view, and they enjoy every minute of it?
I'm a recreational user, as you are very well aware. And really, my boy, you always have exaggerate the side-effects of cocaine. Oh, I know, and I confess it gives me a feeling of satisfaction to see you wearing my clothing. Although I think Mrs Hudson may have come to notice it as well. What do you say, Watson, ought we to worry?
