This is a Sherlock picspam for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nandamai in an attempt to get her to try Sherlock. Of course my luck and she won't like it.
This is Doctor John Watson. John is currently sitting in John's chair which is comfy and looks like it belongs to a granny. John also has a never-ending supply of cuddly jumpers.
John also really really likes his gun.
This is Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock is currently sitting in Sherlock's chair which is cold and modern and looks like it belongs to a douche. (It does.)
Sherlock also really really likes to sulk. (John is unimpressed.)
This is Molly Hooper. She works in the morgue and has made the very bad decision to have a crush on Sherlock. (See douche note above.) Molly is like a tiny bunny you want to keep in your pocket.
And this is Mrs. Hudson, Sherlock and John's landlord and very much not their housekeeper even though she often pops in to fuss over them anyway. She also doesn't mind if they want to share a bedroom because a neighbor's "got married ones."
DI Lestrade from Scotland Yard often asks for Sherlock's help, even though he'd love not to. He gives Sherlock way more latitude than is probably good for his career.
This is Sgt Sally Donovan, and her loathing of Sherlock drips off of her. By little things she and Sherlock have said, I get the sense that they've known each other beyond a police setting. I seriously doubt anything romantic, but it seems like there's some kind of past there. School, lived in the same building, Sherlock took down a friend of Sally's...something.
And this is Sarah, new love interest for John. She's a very interesting addition to the Sherlock-John dynamic. I wouldn't mind seeing more of her around.
"Hello, I'm Sherlock Holmes, John's non-sexual life partner. You probably should know that if you move in together I will be living in your hedges."
Sherlock: So. I think the date crashing and subsequent cockblocking is going well.
John: D:
Sarah: You're not going to watch or anything, are you? I'm not signing up for pervy stuff.
Sarah is smart and Sherlock doesn't find her to be completely useless, which is probably why he hasn't tried to run her off. Well...tried with any amount of effort.
While I don't see this turning into a three-way buddy show, Sarah does sort of fit into this odd scenario.
Other Important Things
1. Taxis. Sherlock and John spend roughly 50% of their lives in taxis. Where all the money comes for this is as mysterious as Sherlock's expensive clothes while being forced into a flat share.
2. Feeding John. Once Sherlock has acquired his own John Watson, the accompanying manual states that John needs to be fed at regular intervals. (Sherlock acquires sustenance from the whirring in his brain.)
Fortunately John is quite capable of listening to Sherlock while he eats.
Also fortunately, Sherlock has helped out just about every restaurant owner in town, which means feeding John for free.
3. People think they're a couple. Of course they do hang out a lot.
And share meaningful looks.
And grip arms.
And giggle at crime scenes.
It's guy love between two guys!

Woops, long comment!

I'm really amused at the dynamics right now, but I'll probably be sad if (when?) John moves out to live with Sarah.

Idk if he is. It's not clear whether she's a modern Mary or whether she's just a passing fancy until Mary turns up or what.

YES I AM STALKING YOUR SHERLOCK ENTRIES.

That could be. I know nothing about flats in London other than they exist and apparently John and Sherlock share one. I'm also slightly confused about their always-open door.

Um, perhaps I've lost perspective. *slinks away for a bit of a lie down*
Oh, or wait, Sherlock and Ten at his most douche. They could try to out douche each other! Like a cage fight Friday night smack down! John and Rose could bicker about who would win. (My mind has gone to a happy place.)

EXCLAMATION POINTS!
Please to be explaining why John looks middle-aged while Sherlock looks twelve?
Re: EXCLAMATION POINTS!
The actors are only about 5 years apart. They haven't mentioned ages on the show, but the John guy is 39 and the Sherlock guy is 34. Within the context of the show, you could probably attribute John's weathered look to the fact that he's been a career soldier/medical doctor and just got home from Afghanistan, where he's seen his share of blood and horror, dust and sun. And Sherlock...seems to have been pampered in his life?

(Which kind of shocks me, since I really hate what Moffat has done with the characters in DW. I also hear lines from Sherlock and think, "Doctor? Oh wait. Wrong show. Nevermind." Very similar voices.
Generally? I like it.
