If there is one thing Watson is certain of at this very moment, it's that there must be a scientifically sound explanation for this.

Probably. Possibly.

No. There definitely is a scientifically sound explanation, and Watson is convinced that if Holmes hadn't just turned into a child, he'd be evaluating the facts already, developing theories.

—A Silly Phase

Have you read zarah5's A Silly Phase? No? Then toddle off and read it. Take it from someone who is iffy about both kid!fics and spontaneous-metamorphosis!fics — it's that good.

As for my drawing, I know it's bit off, but I don't draw children very often. (I think the last time was... what, two years ago? Anyways.) Also, what is it with Wikipedia and having no information whatsoever on children's fashion during the 1880's?
Reference used ad nauseam. The model? Well... take a guess.

I really, really like the idea of them being on opposite sides! Because, just imagine how obsessed Watson would grow, trying to learn every detail about Holmes, from the size of his shoes to his preferred method of robbing a bank. Holmes, on the other hand, would be annoyed at first, and then he'd slowly grow facinated with that one man who came closer to catching him then all others. They'd start a cat-and-mouse game, and then, one night, Holmes suddenly shows up in Watson's flat - which is about the one place where Watson didn't think he'd be hiding.

Because I'm currently trying to talk myself out of Big Bang, so someone else must take the fall for me?
