Fight Club HOlmes
In "A Scandal In Bohemia":
...All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise, but admirably balanced mind. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen; but, as a lover, he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer.
This is the reverse of the Narrator and Tyler Durden. However, in the Holmes Canon, Watson's the one who gets married. So, in the "alternate" version, the Holmes personality deduces rather than seduces, or is Watson's desire not to get hung up with love and marriage, but devote himself solely to the task.
