You Fight A Pharmacist? Why Would You Even Do That?
I have now watched Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension, and I absolutely love it to pieces. Characters meeting their alternate-universe counterparts is a concept I've always been fond of, and Dr Doofenshmirtz takes it a step further by meeting his alternate-universe counterpart and then singing a duet with himself entitled 'I've Found a Brand New Best Friend (And It's Me)'.
Dr Doofenshmirtz is one of my favourite characters in the whole world. The affable, bumbling villain is nothing new, but Doofenshmirtz is the best example of the trope I've ever seen. And I love his weird friendly-nemesis relationship with Perry.
(Speaking of Doofenshmirtz, two of my favourite Phineas and Ferb clips: a delightful visual gag and the first ten seconds of 'Back in Gimmelshtump', the latter primarily for poor Perry's reaction.)
...okay, so my curiosity just got the better of me and I tried plugging 'Perry', 'Dr Doofenshmirtz' and 'Romance' into the story filter on fanfiction.net. I already regret it. NOOOOOO ONE OF THEM HAS A DUCKBILL WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY KISSED NO THEIR LIPS DID NOT MEET PERRY DOESN'T HAVE LIPS
Ahem! Scarring man/platypus love aside: Across the 2nd Dimension contained multiple things I have wanted to see in Phineas and Ferb for ages. Possibly the most significant: the boys met Dr Doofenshmirtz! ♥! Thirty seconds into their encounter with him, I realised that I couldn't stop grinning. The rare moments when Dr Doofenshmirtz directly interacts with the non-platypoidal (this may not be the accepted scientific term) members of the Flynn-Fletcher family are some of my very favourite moments in Phineas and Ferb. I wish it could happen more often.
(And they're so friendly with each other! And Doofenshmirtz was appalled when the Doofenshmirtz from the alternate universe had the boys attacked! I was actually really sad when Phineas realised he was evil. PLEASE BE FRIENDS, GUYS. Dr Doofenshmirtz needs friends!)
Also: oh, the ending. So cute. Bless your little platypus heart, Perry.
For people who don't care about Phineas and Ferb: you're wrong, but have a link to an excellent His Dark Materials AU for Sherlock, written by etothepii. It's got a few distracting Americanisms, but don't let that deter you; it does such clever things with the concept of daemons.
