inmyriadbitsKatie was bored at her job the other night, so I ended up making her fic-text with me.
I blame the following on my current obsession with Sherlock Holmes, and the fact that I was rewatching The Middleman episodes while texting. :D?
[I offer up some live oh noes Watson in peril! reactions to a scenario in this fic (fun!), which I was reading at the time]
L: [...] I was expecting kidnapping at the least
K: Yeah that was a missed opportunity. It's a trope that needs more use - guaranteed to make H go bat shit
L: No shit. Someone should write it. I also have an idea for a story where Holmes is injured and can't investigate, so Watson has to be his proxy :)
K: I think that happened in canon? I might be wrong. I read one kidnap fic in the kink meme. Though H getting kidnapped would be v fun too
L: How Mountains of Mourning :) I would love to see Holmes kidnapped. How would you play it?
K: Someone figures out he's on their tail and gets him out of the way, but they underestimate W and he manages to solve the case and rescue H
L: :) tell me more!
[...]
K: Give me a character (or 2), a word, and a location. I need something non plotty for my brain to do
L: Watson, a lady of ill repute, and the Underground
K: Ooh
L: :)
[cut K giving me a hard time about not going to a SXSW screening]
L: Ha. Ok, then, write me some text fic, woman
K: The lady accosts W on his way out of the U, and he stops her trying to pick his pocket. Only then he gets home and finds a note asking him to get H to help her. She's trapped in some diabolical white slave situation with her child held ransom
K: And H has to track her down with only the note as a clue. It all ends in a thrilling raid on the brothel, with the boys chasing the leader down into the sewers where he slips and drowns bc he can't swim
L: ew, villain drowns in sewers. I like the note in Watson's pocket thing, though
K: Yeah he's a jerk
L: He had it coming
K: So, new prompt?
L: Ok. Wendy Watson meets Holmes via time travel and or cryogenics :)
K: You are my favorite
L: I do my best :)
K: Well you can't have W w/o H. So W gets zapped back to 1890 and runs into mary who gently lets her know she's dressed scandalously
L: I can't imagine Dubdub is thrilled with that remark...
K: Her reaction to corsets: oh BLEEP no
L: LOL ILU
K: Of course Moriarty is behind it all. He was trying to get tech from the future and ended up with an angry middleman in training
L: Heh. Major whoops!
K: Yeah so much for simplicity and genius :)
L: Please tell me Moriarty uses the sheer elegance line. PLEASE. :)
K: So mary brings Wendy to W. She rolls her eyes at H a bunch but he believes her story and figures out its M
K: Of course! He's the original super villain, he probably said it first
L: And best, of course. Wendy prob calls him out on the line being his fault, if I know her :)
K: And he's all... You are a girl! I ignore you! And she kicks his ass. Pain's river, baby!
L: Hee! So does MM show up, or does WW manage on her own?
K: And H is all- i observe you studied with Master Ping (he was super old iirc)
L: LOL
L: Of course he pronounces it all tonally correct, too (like Ping does in the ep) :)
K: Turns out MM knew all along it was going to happen! It was in the archives bc the MM of the time helps her get home with a handy ancient relic after she defeats M. Guess who it is?
L: Who?
K: Lestrade :)
L: *dies* OMG
K: He only sucks at being a regular cop bc he's busy fighting off aliens
L: HEE
K: He'd recruit H to replace him but H'd spend all his time trying to figure out who gives the orders. So he's training Clarky
L: I love you so much right now.
Clearly, this is the perfect explanation for Lestrade. Sheer elegance in its simplicity! :D
