these plot bunnies are somewhat inconvenient

You have no idea how much I want a Sherlock version of Life on Mars.

Like, one day a suspect shoots Sherlock and he falls off a tall building or maybe he gets hit by a bus or whatever. Then he wakes up in his room in Baker Street with Mrs. Hudson fussing about his eating habits and John Watson looking over his injuries. It should be completely normal, but the year is 1889, John keeps calling him 'Holmes' and texting and the internet haven't been invented yet, OH NOES.

Watson's certain Sherlock has gone off the deep end, and Lestrade is mostly confused, and Sherlock is getting annoyed because he shouldn't have to know that they don't currently have antibiotics. That's a waste of hard drive space, after all, even if no one knows what the fuck he's talking about.


I made the Yuletide deadline, wheee!

I don't even watch EITHER of these shows but this would be so amazingly good.

This is quite genius.

omg, that would be AMAZING. I loved seeing Sherlock doing his detecting in the modern world, sort of anachronistic but sort of not, and to see that flipped on its head AGAIN... yes, please.

I would probably flail with delight if someone ever wrote it.

[thedeadparrot]

Why thank you. I do yearn to see this written some day (preferably by someone who knows a lot more about Victorian England than I do).

Seriously, right? And the whole Victorian England thing has a nice frisson of meta that I like, and of course, Sherlock has no idea why he ended up in *this* particular time period. And like, maybe he learns the value of his own time period and the people in it! Maybe he learns to be happpppppy.
