For millennia I’ve lived below, gathering my strength to once again rise from the depths and cow these puny surface creatures. This quiet cove is perfect for a base of operations.

I killed one or two of them, sent one wounded away. The fools blame that infantile blob of tentacles.

Soon. Soon we Old Ones will rule this land again.

DUM-DUM-DUM!

When Holmes find the truth his mind snaps. And they bundle him off in a straitjacket and paddy wagon as he shouts "IA IA CTHULHU FTHAGHN!!"

Yes! It reminds me of Vulgarweed's fic for Come at Once, the Sherlock/Mary with tentacles/John one. Where the things in the pools are some ominous Baskerville secret-spy tentacle creatures (after the sexytimes, of course).

Oh, that's more than a little worrying...

Turns out that one of Holmes' neighbours on the Downs was a man from Baltimore on holiday, fellow named Lovecraft...

"Behind you!"

"What, behind the mountain-sized mass of tentacles and madness-inducing eyes?"

"Yes, it's clearly the jellyfish who did this!"

Oh, dear God.

(But a very clever connection to make ^__^)

If you haven't read it already, Neil Gaiman's A STUDY IN EMERALD combines Doyle and Lovecraft in the most amazing fashion.

Love this twist.

Holmes runs around saying goofy shit already so no one's gonna take him seriously when he starts shrieking about ancient tentacled monsters rising from the deep.
