Personally, I always thought he kept a Norwich Terrier, not a Bull Terrier

I seem to be developing something of a fangirl-crush on Victor Trevor. I blame ladylovelace.

All right, so it might have been I who suggested we should RP a pre-slashy farce about Holmes thinking romantic friendships are common friendships, because Victor told him so, and Watson flips out a bit. Only, then things got melodramatic and we decided to bring Trevor back from Terai America and after enough overacting and drama to make a Victorian roll her eyes, we ended up with all three of them living in a polyamorous relationship, where Trevor and Watson have sex while Holmes doesn’t, because Holmes is emotionally still a teenager.

… I don’t even like OT3s.

What I do like is Oxbridge romances, though. Ah, Charles Ryder/Sebastian Flyte, Maurice Hall/Clive Durham… ♥ I blame the atmosphere of those universities; it’s so terribly romantic. Yes, indeed, that is the reason why I ship Holmes/Trevor so much. That and the fact that Trevor owns a dog, because everything is automatically better with dogs.

(For those of you who are familiar with the radioverse: have you listened to A Study in Scarlet yet? Because according to this ‘verse, the reason Watson gave his bull-pup away (to Stamford, actually) was due to the fact that the pup wouldn’t stop attacking Holmes’ ankles. Sound familiar? ♥)

Pathetic fangirling is the best kind. It's nice to have someone you can be a complete and total dork with, knowing all the while that they are just as bad. I note that you have discovered my secret weakness - the inability to back down from a dare. Consider yourself on.

I actually like that Watson got rid of the dog for the comfort of a man he'd only been living with for a few weeks. He was clearly enamoured from the beginning. And I think that Watson making a deliberate "Holmes and Irene were not shagging" statement proves that fairly well. (I tend to think that "John, I'm only dancing" is the Holmes/Adler song).

(No, I think the "strangest theory" award has to go to the "Holmes was disguised as a horse in STUD" one. Because I think it would be fairly easy to tell the difference between a pantomime horse and a real one).

Exactly. ♥
All right then! ::gets pens and paper and gets going::

He was clearly enamoured from the beginning.
What gave him away? :P Oh, the first part of STUD is such a favourite of mine. Watson is such a fangirl, and Holmes is such a tease, and they're so obsessed with each other from the very beginning. (Muma and I sometimes listen to the plays when we play Yatzy, and her main comment on both STUD and LION was "Damn, won't they ever quit squabbling? :/" Because she clearly doesn't get that the squabbling is the best part.)

(NOOOO. Cecilia, I beg of you, do not mention the horses! Thank you for giving me that mental image again. D:)
