That was so brilliant, but I must confess that I thought for a little bit it was Dr. Watson, not H.G. Wells.

Oh hey, there's a bunny for you...

[draycevixen]

Dr. Watson eh? He didn't leap immediately to mind for a Time Travel prompt, but then again The Time Machine probably shouldn't have either. *g*

Thank you for reading. :D

[gritsinmisery]

Well, that's my own fault for leaping into the fic w/o reading the prompt, eh?

But honestly, Watson would be great to dump in here... He's used to solving crimes. Sam would think he'd died and gone to heaven, having somebody who is used to looking for evidence and motives.

[draycevixen]

See, that's an interesting thought because I never think of Watson as solving crimes. As Holmes' personal Boswell, he's the one who records the cases and does as Holmes tells him to do, but he's not the consulting detective. I *have* written somewhat drunken *cough* comment fic where Holmes moved in on Gene's turf, but that's a disaster of a different colour. *g*

*ponders*

Well, it's Holmes (and Watson's own unreliable narration) that puts the down on Watson's own abilities. The very fact that some of Holme's method has rubbed off on him would make him a godsend to Sam!

*is tempted*

You too, huh? I thought Dr. Watson as well, but at the Morlocs realized it would have to be The Time Machine.

This was brilliant, Drayce, and I have no idea how you could have thought differently.
I love how Oswald thinks it's a disagreement Sam and Gene are hiding from their men. *g*

As you well know, my brain is inclined to take unauthorized left turns -- baby!Cortinas anyone? -- and I'm always thinking well it seems obvious to me but what the hell will anyone else make of this? You spend enough of your life having people go "huh?' at you -- see icon -- and you do start to wonder.

I was also worried that the person who requested it would hate it.

Thanks for reading! ♥
