GUESS WHO IS THE HAPPIEST

YEAH IT'S ME :DDDDDDD

This part reminded me of all the reasons I love the action in the Ritchie movies \o/ Holmes and Watson are the BEST snarky action heroes ever, ever, EVER. Of COURSE they got ALL THE FUTURE WEAPONS and of COURSE there were EXPLOSIONS and WITTY REPORE and man I actually really worry for Sherlock and John's health now, they may not be able to keep up with this much running and concussive blasts and pistol shots. Ok John could do the pistol thing but Sherlock would crumble like an expensive porcelain milkjug if he ever ended up within thirty feet of Holmes' fisticuffs. THE POINT IS FIGHT SCENES FIGHT SCENES FIGHT SCENES I LOVE THEM TOO MUCH. And the ray guns. Ray guns. Holmes and ray guns. Let me just breath into a paper bag for a while.

That last line, aw man. I might be pregnant now from the awesomeness of that last line. I'm not even sure if it's Watson's, Holmes' or your baby. Probably all three.I read this whole thing on my phone at work during my tea break because I couldn't wait

Heee, yeah, THEIRSNARKISSOBEAUTIFUL.

Oh god, Sherlock is an expensive porcelain milk jug and John is one of those tin cups from the army AND THERE IS LOVE.

No, seriously, what is wrong with my brain?

Okay so I have been trying to track down all the threads we have going and I realised what we need is a thread pedigree, with every node representing a new comment or "generation" and containing basic information such as comment size, a colour range for seriousness of topic, and a ratio of capital:lower-case letters. There will be a whole branch for the Twinfic and new families appearing on the side whenever a new post spawns new threads. It will look kind of like an evolutionary family tree. If my brain could think things and they'd be done for me, I'd give you a link to the thread map-tree right now. Also I'd have Jake Gyllenhaal in bed with me but that's beside the point.

The point is, I'm replying to this comment because I would watch an entire show about anthropomorphic mugs named Sherlock and John. I mean, if they can be mice...

[so_shhy]

This would be quite an undertaking. I'm now imagining a piece of yellowed parchment with "Here be dragons" and "Here be squee" notes scattered among the branches. And there are yellow post-it notes and colour-coded stickers on it too, because treasure-hunting pirates use those. Or if they don't, they should. And I'm sitting on one side of the room working on it and trying not to listen to you and Jake.

Ahahah, oh yes the Great Mouse Detective. This is one of the few ways to do Sherlock AUs - HE'S STILL A DETECTIVE BUT HE'S A MUG/SNAIL/COOKIE/HOT AIR BALLOON.

OK, this is a mini comment because it's already late, but I'm gonna scuttle off and add some pertinent items to a couple of other threads in lieu of proper replies.

And bits of paper that fold out with extra notes! And a few of them just fold out into paper dolls! One of the paper dolls is of mutants kissing! That's it, I'm using a mystical sci-fi device to recreate reality around a room, and in the room is you making this enormous chart and me trying to help but getting distracted a lot.

IF THERE ISN'T A REAL AU FIC WITH SHERLOCK AS EACH ONE OF THOSE THINGS, I DON'T SEE THE POINT OF THE INTERNET.

[so_shhy]

PAPER DOLLS OF MUTANTS KISSING. THIS WOULD CREATE A GOOD UNIVERSE. I don't know why I'm imagining this doll sprouting a whole new universe, but it should. It's nagging at my brain, actually, there was a book when I was a child where somehow it ended with a new universe being created, and the main kid knew it would be a good world because it was somehow based around the strange creature who'd become his friend.... OH MAN, WHY DO THERE HAVE TO BE THINGS YOU CAN'T GOOGLE?

Of all of them, I kind of want the snail one most.

[tawabids]

WHAT A WONDERFUL UNIVERSE IT WOULD BE :D I'D LIVE THERE. Yes, the image of our paper tree sprouting little bubble-realities of its own is so lovely! If I'd chosen a career in animation instead of science, I'd be onto that right now. But if I'd chosen that career I'd be working much harder and writing less fic and we might never have met... so I'll have to find a universe where I am an animator and contact her to do it for me... but to do that, I'll need a way to travel between universes, which means I need a version of me who took up a PhD in the physics of cosmology... paradoxes, paradoxes...

I want the snail one yesterday.

[so_shhy]

Hmm... it is tricky. But if there are infinite possible universes out there then there must be a universe where a you who's a particle physicist opens a wormhole onto this universe. Everything happens somewhere, right? That's the theory. So you just gotta sit back and wait.

The snail Sherlock is called Shell-lock. Just so you know.

[tawabids]

COME ON, PARTICLE PHYSICIST TAWABIDS. I'M WAITING FOR YOU. AND I BET YOU SIGN YOUR NAME ON THE PARTICLE ACCELERATOR BOOKING SHEET AS "TAWABIDS".

Oh my god. Shellock. *wheezes*. Dying of pun joy XD.

[so_shhy]

*sad* this is the problem with the infinite universes theory. If it were true there would be infinite Tawabidses in your home right now. And everywhere else. THE PLANET WOULD BE COVERED WITH THEM!

[tawabids]

Hahahahaha they'd be so annoying and they'd eat all my food. Ugh. Maybe they all figured out they don't want to meet themselves and decide to go off to a universe where Tawabids doesn't exist but Jeremy Renner owns a chip shop around the corner and needs someone to help him through his recent breakup?
