Author's Notes: Set in an alternative 19th century universe.


… Mike Stanford brought Dr Mary Morstan to 221b Baker Street. He knew Sherlock struggled to pay the rent. He knew of Mary's roommate troubles. And Mary had received a mysterious letter, something to do with her father. Sherlock would be impressed with her precise presentation of facts. She would be intrigued by the skull on the mantle-piece. A perfect match.

Now...that would be interesting:-)
Neatly done.

I guess it's the premise of Elementary, in a way, but set in the 19th century. :)

I could see it working:-p

I like this take on things!

[tardisjournal.livejournal.com]

Intriguing! I would totally read those stories. :)

It very well might, too. Certainly Stanford has the knack. Thank you, this is excellent alt.

I'd love to read more about this universe.

It is interesting to speculate ... :)

[vaysh]

I totally would love to read them, too, actually. :D

If someone can do it, then Stanford! Thank you. :) Now I wonder whether there are historical Sherlock Holmes novels with that premise.

And what really intrigues me is how Dr Mary Morstan would have written about Holmes.

I can absolutely see it - what a great idea! (At the end of SIGN, Holmes does say: “I think she is one of the most charming young ladies I ever met and might have been most useful in such work as we have been doing.”)

Yes! We'd get a whole different view of Holmes ^^
