Well, Holmes treats him lovingly as a pet, because he actually doesn't know what else to do to show his affection other than to pet Watson's hair and coo at him. Which Watson doesn't get because he thinks he's being humiliated. Fuck, are we going to work subtle d/s vibes into this as well? I wonder if Watson would be suspicious of Moriarty and Morgan as well? I mean, in a paranoid way, not in a gaydar way. "All right, so Holmes is insane and paws me all the time; will those two colleagues of his do that as well? Eeek, get away from me!" "Don't worry about Watson, he doesn't bite. At least, not much, anyways."
Holmes is already on the wrong side of the law and has had previous lovers (I assume?) so of course he doesn't see why it should be a problem. As long as none of them go around with a sign saying "I sod men and like it" they ought to be fine. (Yes, exactly like that! With Mary steadily getting more and more cutting until she pulls that Victorian equivalent of "Well, if you like him so much, why don't you marry him?")
If I remember correctly--and according to internet resources--the paper Moriarty reads says "January 1891" or something like that. In the 221B game the dates on the various papers and such are November-December 1890, so that adds up. So, '84-'85 is our starting point, unless an awesome crime was commited in another year, in which case we stretch our timeline a little. Correct?
Some clichés are horrible, but like you said, they're not all bad. The meeting-in-a-museum one isn't bad at all! :D
So. Anything else we need to discuss and/or have forgotten? ♥
