Wednesday's Favorite Case Would Be The Disappearance Of Lady Frances Carfax - Tumblr Posts

ok someone in the notes pointed out that this make holmes sound like an addams and now i need a crossover between sherlock holmes and the addams family.

just imagine it: holmes is a distant cousin who's completely unfazed by the addams' weirdness. one day, he introduces them to watson. morticia finds out he has no family of his own and instantly adopts him. gomez is delighted upon learning he's a soldier, dubbing him "a man of honor" and immediately challenging him to a duel. wednesday informs him that holmes regularly sends her watson's stories: she enjoys the gory details of the cases, and wishes he'd dwell on them more. pugsley wants to know how to survive decapitation and disembowelment. watson is deeply unsettled, yet a little endeared.

after a weekend with the addams, he's beginning to understand where holmes' bizarre sense of humor came from.

it's always funny to me whenever adaptations make sherlock holmes this brooding, edgy cynic, because in acd canon sherlock holmes has a fantastic sense of humor and is always so amused by everything. i mean, the sheer amount of times this man just bursts out laughing upon realizing something fundamental about a case is kind of iconic in the original stories. he really is just this funny little man who finds a special sort of joy in the macabre.
