Okay, so I was browsing Wikipedia and I discovered some interesting information. The Great Mouse Detective is based off of a children's book series. And Ratigan has a first name. I KNOW! I already have an endearment kink (using pet, dear, ect.), so Ratigan's got that covered, but I now need to have actual names involved. Because, honestly, HE HAS A NAME.
So, I am requesting GMD fic, Basil/Ratigan, that includes the Professor's first name. It's Padraic.

I'm torn because I've known two people named Padraic and they each pronounced it differently. I'm trying to decide which would be the more Ratigan-esque pronunciation, haha. XD
Do you know what's frustrating? We've got Professor Padraic Ratigan on one side, and on the other side... Basil. Just-- Basil. WHERE IS HIS SURNAME. I mean, I guess I could always make one up, but I was really hoping I could find one in canon. Apparently "of Baker Street" is sufficient for most people... >_

I couldn't help noticing that in the film, Sherlock Holmes' archived voice is credited to Basil Rathbone... (I know I'm being juvenile here, but, but, I'm sure I recently read something about a mouse being boned by a rat, or at least something in that direction... XD)

1. Since Ratigan is so different in the books I decided film Ratigan is Vincent. XD I think I'm the only person who did that.
2. Basil could also be his surname--in fact, it's more likely considering how people spoke in Victorian England. 'of Baker Street' would, then, be simply something more specific to tack on the end so people knew which Basil you meant. Kind of like calling Holmes, 'Holmes, of Baker Street', so people wouldn't think you meant Mycroft Holmes, who lives in Pall Mall; or any one of the seventy other Holmeses in London.
*phew!* Sorry this one took a little longer than most. Just got back from vacation! It's good to be back. :D
Title: History Author: colonel_bastard Characters/Fandom: Basil, Ratigan. The Great Mouse Detective. Word Count: 3,265 Rating: PG-13 Summary: Every rivalry has a beginning, and for every fight, someone has to throw the first punch. Warnings: Violence, smoking, general desecration of beloved Disney characters. Notes: Fifth in the Basil/Ratigan series. This one's a prequel! Many thanks to krissielee for the suggestion that Basil started out as a police officer. Prompter at disney_kink wanted a fic that incorporated Ratigan's canonical first name from the book series. I had to take the liberty of choosing a surname for Basil, since he's never received one in canon--- I chose an homage to his predecessor, Holmes. I really wanted to take the time to explore their backstories a little bit. Next fic we'll get back to the sexytimes, I promise. :D
