Fic: The Descent of Man, Pt. 3

(I hadn’t forgotten about this one, honest! I’ve already edited the previous parts because I’ve realised that Trevor Bennett’s phone was unlikely to still be in his pocket if Lestrade really had “pulled his phone records” as formerly claimed…Now, Lestrade somehow “checked his email” instead…)

LOL at Sherlock and Mycroft squabbling via comments on John's blog.

It's a wonder no one's murdered Sherlock yet for his crass insensitivity!

[jjpor]

Thanks! It amused me, anyway... ;D

It is, actually - I don't know if I make him a bit too horrible in this bit, but well, he kind of was in the TV eps I thought.

[persiflage_1]

I think he's perfectly in character in his nastiness...

[jjpor]

Glad you thought so - sometimes it seemed to go beyond just lack of empathy/sympathy into outright taunting people for his own amusement. I don't think the Holmes of the stories was ever quite that bad, although I do find Sherlock's attitude highly amusing/entertaining so I'm not complaining. ;D

[persiflage_1]

No I don't think ACD!Holmes was as nasty...

[jjpor]

No, I don't think he was either. He was actually quite friendly sometimes...

[persiflage_1]

Except where THAT WOMAN was concerned!

[jjpor]

Hmm, yeah, the only one who ever got the better of him...

[persiflage_1]

Which is doubtless why he dislikes her so violently!
