Adorable in platform shoes.
There’s a video by new!Panic out, apparently. I’m… still pondering whether I want to watch it. We had such a bad break-up, Bandom and I! I have not been able to look it in the eye ever since!
In the meantime, I could happily beam at these two and their stupid precious faces. Still not doing RPS involving people with awesome wives who stalk the internet, but. They do not make it easy! I just want to put them both in my pocket and make sure they get regular meals and sleep. Unfortunately, I don't think that's a valid lifestyle choice.
(Bed hair. Jude's smug expression. His hand in Robert's hair. Robert's sleepy head resting on Jude's shoulder. How is this not a manip?! And why doesn't Robert talk about handcuffs all the time?)
ETA: Okay, so it's a manip. But a damn good one! Also, I reject your reality.
Also, it looks as if I have a Big Bang plot now! Yay!
After returning from the war, Watson wasn’t introduced to Holmes. Instead, his gambling took him on a downward spiral, and with his spirits and morale down and his wallet empty, he turned to crime of the dazzle-them-drug-them-leave-them variety. The delicacy of the matter leads to his victims - married, wealthy women and rich men - calling on Holmes rather than on the police. Which is how Holmes and Watson meet. Since Holmes is somewhat fascinated by this well-educated gentleman criminal who clearly took a wrong turn somewhere, who reminds him a little of an early version of Irene Adler, Holmes offers Watson a deal: Watson puts himself under Holmes’ surveillance, returns the stolen goods and lends his medical expertise to Holmes’ pursuits; in return, Holmes won't turn Watson in.
At first, Watson doesn’t know Holmes very well; he seeks to manipulate Holmes by coming onto him, trying to find Holmes’ weak spots so he can exploit them and continue his gambling life unhindered, but Holmes doesn’t trust Watson enough to let him that close, and anyway, it doesn’t take too long for the whole thing to give Watson a new direction. Slowly, they learn to trust each other.
Also, there is jealousy! Watson met Irene at a party because they both work the same crowd, so to speak, and he's always admired her. But then she shows up at 221B one day and the obvious fact that she has a shared past with Holmes does not sit well with Watson. At all. And Holmes notices, of course, and he plays it up because it's a welcome diversion, a way to keep Watson oblivious to Holmes' growing affections. In addition, it gives Holmes an easy excuse to fend off Watson's advances. Because Holmes finds that it's increasingly hard to resist those advances.
Yes. The working title of this is decidedly not Crimes of Passion, thank you very much. I hope I can get this done in less than 30’000 words, but it isn’t particularly likely. The only thing that scares me? Writing it from Holmes’ POV, which I think I have to do. Meep?
