Such fun!

In any universe, any incarnation...those two will bicker like children. :-D

Always! The idea came to me and they just started talking to one another, so I wrote it down. :-)

And it worked well!

I thought you would have chosen Moriarty as his opponent, but that would have had to be a more deadly contest and a completely different piece, not the offhand brotherly bickering. (I like drinkingcocoa's word) of this understated struggle.

It is a rare gem too!

Thank you! :-)

I think I picture their squabbling as them checking and balancing one another's excesses.

And you're right, with Moriarty it would have been a deadly contest, in earnest, and then everybody would have been in danger. I was channeling a more amiably macabre mood! ;-)

So so beautiful, with so many gorgeous images.

Every time I read your writing, my jaw drops open - not a pretty sight, but true *g*

Thank you for sharing the magic with us.

Thank you! I am so pleased you liked it! :-D It's just a little tidbit of a story, but it jumped into my head nearly fully formed, so I went with it and had fun!
