Warning: Hints at a Holmes/Hopkins relationship.
Summary: Not everyone at 221b is on board the Holmes/Hopkins train.

***

Hot water, lemon, a generous splash of brandy. That would banish November cold and wet.

From the corner of my eye I saw the cupped, caressing hands as Holmes lit Hopkins’ cigar.

I quickly reached into my nearby open doctor’s bag whilst both were distracted.

...And a dose of saltpetre.

This would be strictly a business call for young Hopkins.

Oh, Watson - I don't know whether to laugh or give you a hug. Or notify the medical authorities.

Poor Watson! Hard to compete with a young dashing inspector.

Watson!
What on earth did they teach you at medical school?

I think SOMEONE at 221b needs to get laid.

With a better moustache, Holmes is ALWAYS gushing about the bloody thing...

[gardnerhill.livejournal.com]

Not to encourage this sort of thing.

Ah...possibly...

There's an inspector for everyone, Doctor... *subtly points Watson at Lestrade*

Poor Hopkins :(

This just might inspire him to point Watson at Lestrade...
