Behold! One of my favourite moments from Granada's Sherlock Holmes series. Holmes' little dance to show Watson how the Dancing Men code works is always so precious to watch.

Dr. Watson is just as important of a character as Sherlock Holmes. You cannot get rid of or replace him. He is the narrator. The stories are about Holmes, but it's through WATSON that we have them in the first place. He's not "just" the sidekick. He is the main character.

Actually, writing this out has helped me decide. I want to let Holmes be the chaotic little wet cat I know he can be, and make him Wooster. I shall carry the tradition of making Watson constantly worry about him in the role of Jeeves.

Does anyone else regularly get the intense urge to make a Jeeves & Wooster AU for Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, or is it just me? The only problem I have that's preventing me from writing it is constantly going back and forth as to whether Watson would be Wooster, or if Holmes would. Because, to be fair, I can see a little bit of Jeeves in both of them.

For homeboys running around in the 1800 there's a sure lot of flirting, invading personal space and touching going on.
