I often see canon Holmes and Watson's default state pictured as

but what I read them as, is rather

and I think that's a lot funnier

[bunnyryuz]

there's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it.

Sometimes in lieu of writing I make alternate book covers.

Don't look at me like that, I know I'm not the only one.

It's crazy to me that the most popular fictional character of the turn of the century England was a rational to a fault detective. While at the same time, the most popular fictional character in France happened to be a gentlemen thief. That's just too on the nose. It's the kind of detail you would come up with to differentiate the culture of two fictional kingdoms in some fantasy novel, not an actual historical fact.

If there's any justice in the world, we'll someday see a full on adaptation of Arsene Lupin vs. Sherlock Holmes, er, I mean Herlock Sholmes.

YES YES IT'S THEM AGAIN. I COULDN'T RESIST AND Y'ALL ASKED SO NICELY.

In this episode: messy haired Holmes

I have their story in my head up to the point of Victor's leave, and it's highly probable I will draw it all... I can roughly divide it into three chapters: 1st that is finished, 2nd concerning the events of the "Gloria Scott" and 3rd dealing with the mess afterwards.

Chapter 1 Chapter 2: part 1 - part 2 - part 3 - part 4 - part 5 - part 6 - part 7 - part 8

A couple more of my thoughts and headcanons on the topic that came up in the meantime (hopefully no spoilers?):

I wanted their relationship to be a queerplatonic one, so if you're here for romance, you'll be disappointed. Holmes has some things thought through (as I tried to show in the previous part), he does like Victor on a different level than he has ever experienced, but he doesn't know where his boundaries of being comfortable are, and, at least for now, this is all too confusing for him to experiment. So he's just enjoying the time that they have and doesn't dwell on in too much.

Second thing is, Holmes seems to be alright with thouch, at least the way I read him. (Honestly, the amount of touch provided by him, to Watson in the first place of course, but also to other, random people? That's a LOT to me. But my view may also be biased, I don't like touching at all.) Yes, so, Holmes is alright with casual touch, and the closer he is with someone, the more alright he seems to be. I can see him as a type who will start treating friends like furniture, if they're close enough.

Ah and the third thing. I believe Holmes to be the kind of student who did a lot of extracurriculars in his fields of interest, and barely passed or had to repeat all the rest. And I hc astrology to be his sworn enemy. Because what influence does it have on the results of his chemical research or crime? Exactly.

Please enjoy this delightful German book cover of A study in Scarlet, depicting Sherlock Holmes savagely beating a corpse to see if bruises can still form after death. Watson is horrified

(For those who haven't read this story, this actually does happen! It's just referred to at the start of the novel, Watson didn't actually get to witness it, so the artist took a bit of liberty there)
