Now I'm Just Imagining Watson Snatching Away Holmes' Syringe And Giving Him A Coca-cola Instead To Try

Now I'm just imagining Watson snatching away Holmes' syringe and giving him a coca-cola instead to try and prevent him from using too much of the stuff, and it just looking like a Mum giving her fussy baby a bottle.

So you’re telling me Sherlock Holmes could have enjoyed a refreshing coca-cola

Watson spending decades trying to define the limitations of the unknowable Sherlock Holmes, versus Holmes being fascinated by the undefinable limitations of the seemingly ordinary Dr. Watson, is a concept I can be trusted with

I cannot stress how much I agree, and love this man.

So much to love, but red-headed league highlights:

- Holmes calls Watson “my dear ___” at least 3 times—twice within like the first 15 minutes of Watson showing up

- The boys are giddy to be together working this weird case, which is extremely clear because:

- Holmes WIGGLES IN EXCITEMENT

- The two of them look at each other and burst out laughing

- Holmes sees Watson trying to deduce the client and smiles fondly

- They go on a date to hear music and Watson apparently spends the entire time watching Holmes and thinking about his poetic side vs his rational side (and clearly loves and respects both). He throws in heaps of praise for his violin playing and composing while he’s at it

- they finish their date and Holmes is like “You have to go? :(“ and Watson is like “Yeah, I guess I should :(“ but then Holmes is like “but come back late tonight for danger adventure?” And Watson is like “literally my life is so boring, what time do you need me? :)”

- They finish their danger date with a nightcap at Baker St

Oh, Sherlock Holmes, the sassy bitch you are...

What is your Ao3? Assuming you have one

I don't have an Ao3 account at the moment, but I do go on there occasionally if a specific fic catches my eye. I haven't made any of my writing public yet as I struggle with anxiety, but I'm hoping to be able to some day very soon! I do have A LOT of fanfics in my drafts that I would love to be confident enough to actually share with others, and not just have them for me to reread over and over for mistakes.

Thanks for the ask! When I do make an account and publish my works, I'll make an announcement about it on here. :)

I just had a not-so-fun thought. Since Sherlock & Co. is aware that it's a podcast and occasionally references real word events that are currently happening or have recently happened...Do you think the creators will stop releasing episodes of the podcast for two or three years after the Reichenbach Fall to create a consistent and realistic timeline of Sherlock's faked death and John and Mariana mourning? Or do you think they'll shorten the time of Sherlock's absence to merely a few months of playing dead for the audience if they go down this route? Maybe after Sherlock "dies" we'll just get a few sad episodes of John venting to us about missing Sherlock. Whatever happens, I'm both looking forward to and fearing how they will handle this part of the story!
