everyone loves a scandal

[metisket]

…In under the wire. IF I WERE WRITING the modern update of A Scandal in Bohemia, it would go like this. Clearly, the BBC version is not going to be like this at all, at all, and in a minute it will be badly jossed (moffated?). But hey, the trailers look AMAZING. *_*

So Irene Adler is canonically a New Jersey con artist, a fact which has gotten more

oh my god, your Irene is epic. And I love how longsuffering her husband is. Poor, poor guy. XDDD

[metisket]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked Irene. And poor Norton. BE STRONG, NORTON. XD

There are no words for how unbearably awesome this is. Irene and Norton are so much PURE WIN that I'm speechless.

(...) I mean he wouldn’t have a chance to work the smarts. People would take one look at his face and sock him in it on the theory that he probably had it coming. Which he totally does.
I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING AT THIS. OH GOD. and it reminds me of the trailers, with the punch scene, it's hilarious.

did I mention this fic is awesome?

[metisket]

The punch scene in the trailers MADE MY MONTH. :D :D :D I can only be glad this reminded you of it!

Irene and Norton. ♥ They always seemed like they'd be hilarious people to know, and it was sad that in the original series you basically only got to see their shapes receding into the distance as they ran away very fast. XD

Thank you so much! ♥

THIS IS SO BRILLIANT IT CAN BE SEEN FROM SPACE!

Irene and Norton are ADORABLE and WONDERFUL and your dialogue rivals Aaron Sorkin. MOAR, MOAR, MOAR!

[metisket]

XD THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I'm really happy you liked Irene and Norton--I am pretty fond of them myself. :D

I'm fairly cackling right now, omg. I just. Irene! I fucking love you. Also, omg, you brought in Godfrey, I SHIP THEM SO HARD. Aaaahh, their bickering is the best. It's like a parallel of Sherlock and John, only with more canon sex. Fantastic.
“These guys are adorable.”
Welcome to my life, Irene. And then Godfrey is all "uh-huh, whatever you say, dear" and adslkjh I just love them so mu-hu-huuuuch.

Irene feels kind of bad, seeing as she’s not actually plotting mayhem today, but…he’s cute when he’s given up on life?
Oh my God. Manic people with long-suffering characters are apparently one of my bullet-proof loves. Dammit. No wonder I fell for Sherlock and John so hard.

Mrs. Hudson is awesome.

Of course John has an inordinate amount of glee in Irene besting them while Sherlock's throwing the temper tantrum of the century. Oh, boys. XD

You are my favoritest right now, darling. ♥

[metisket]

XD Yay! I ship Irene and Norton so hard, too. Irene Adler went off and married a lawyer? REALLY? This has to be the most amazing guy IN THE WORLD. Despite the fact that his mother named him Godfrey. ^_^

I bet Mrs. Hudson scares a lot of potential clients. And this case is doubtless one of John's happy memories for life. XD

Thank you so much for the comment! ♥

Fucking. Awesome. Wonderful last hurrah for alternate!Irenes everywhere.

And hello, this would be the new commenting system... interesting.

[metisket]

Thank you very much! :D I think I'll miss all the alternate!Irenes...

And yes, the new system is...interesting. o_O I SUPPOSE WE'LL GET USED TO IT.
