I love to death the idea of Holmes sending the police notes. (I cannot quite accept the notion of Holmes as Jack the Ripper - I could accept Watson (http://pics.livejournal.com/warren_ellis/pic/00003y1a) as such, though. I really do think he has an untouched violent streak, the more I think about it.)
I am very nearly certain that there was a H/W fanvid to that song at some point. Or a request for one. Or it may have been on a fanmix. EITHER WAY YES. I think it is fairly hilarious to even put Watson and Britney Spears in the same paragraph, but it does rather work in this context and continues to convince me that the disparity beween at least movie!Watson and AU!Watson is not as great as I first thought. Hmm.
I looked the sequel up on IMDB and it does seem to say that he will be :(. I sincerely hope it is unfounded rumour (Hell, Jude Law isn't even on the page and he kinda should be, being Watson and everything. Although now I am thinking it would be hilarious (if a little sad) if they replaced him with someone completely different, and didn't even try to explain it. I am warped).
I love the idea of Holmes telling his new very best buddy (possibly just as Watson is starting to come around) about the horrible Woman and how much of a big ol' meany she is to poor little Holmes. And then three-way snark, obviously, because it is required.
At least one "come to the dark side, we have cookies" speech, "You could be so brilliant Watson [insert creepy face-holding], between the two of us we could bring England to her knees" at which point Watson glares and Holmes is just a little put-out by it.
The thing about Mary (in my mind) is that she is conspicous only in her absence - I have very little to base her on and thus hesitate to have her wander around. BUT that idea is not a bad one, or, y'know how Irene said she should pick herself up a sidekick, when they were snarking over Watson? What about a little moment at the end where she does and it turns out to be Mary. Except I can think of no plausible reason for this because by all accounts Mary is a fairly ordinary, boring governess. I dunno, I liked film Mary well enough but she always felt like she had no purpose except as a "no gay here" sign. But I will shut up about her.
You're right, cardiac arrest is surely only a minor inconvenience for the great Sherlock Holmes, who is quite incapable of ever making a mistake. And I should think that nothing surprises Mrs. Hudson anymore, bless her soul. She is as observant as you are and more humble to boot.
