Okay, first off, a caveat. I still don't consider Elementary 'Sherlock Holmes'. That is not to say I don't like it, because I do. I actually really enjoy it, as a crime procedural among other crime procedurals. I think it's a good show. I find the characters interesting, I like their relationships and dynamic, I find the cases interesting, I like the way the plots unfold, the way the cases are solved. I like this show. I like Sherlock Holmes. I like Joan Watson. I like Captain Gregson.
What it is not, to me, is 'Sherlock Holmes'. It is yet another generic New York-based crime procedural involving two characters who may be named Holmes and Watson, but they are not the Holmes and Watson. They just happen to have similar names and a few common attributes. And, you know, once I got that clear in my head, I actually started to enjoy the show a whole lot more.
But anyway, fic. I may have found myself shipping Holmes/Gregson a wee bit, and there is no fic! *pouts*
