Title: A Cunning Plan
Author: mific
Pairing: Holmes/Watson
Length: 1552 words
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: None
Verse: ACD Bookverse and comic strip 'Hark! A Vagrant'...and a smidgen of Sherlock BBC, Ritchie films, & Granada
Author's summary: Things go awry when Watson hatches a cunning plan to rid himself of stupid Watson and gay Watson.

Reccer's comments: First read the relevant panels from Hark! A Vagrant (here and here) for this to make sense. This fic is an hilarious, crackstastic meta-commentary on all the different versions of Watson and Holmes. The plot, such as it is, involves ACD Watson trying to get rid of "stupid Watson" and "gay Watson," so he can have Holmes to himself. Also, there is jam. Jam makes everything funnier.

thanks for this very funny rec!

I loved how easily the writer was able to characterize Short Holmes, Thin Holmes and Tall Holmes as well as their respective Watsons. They were awesome! :D

Poor Stupid Watson. He's SO stupid. :D
