Author's Notes: Avoiding the sentence "We can't giggle, it's a crime scene" might be harder than suppressing the actual giggle.


Don’t look at Watson’s face… that twitching around his mouth, hardly concealed, the minimal creases at his eyelids, how the muscles in his throat contract in an attempt to keep in control...
Concentrate on the case.

Oh no, please, not the Encyclopaedia…

Dear Lord, I’ll never be able to keep a straight face in front of a red-headed man again.

Hee hee! All the observations of the tiny changes in Watson's expression are such a perfectly Holmes way of thinking "if he laughs I'll laugh too". XD And the image of them cracking up in the future when seeing random red-headed men is great!

For someone who lives so much inside his head (which I'd never object to =P), there's a lo~t of fun to be had with the outside. (ಡ◡ಡ)

I hope the Weasleys never call. *lol*

A case that defeated even the consulting detective's iron will.

I guess in this particular case he wasn't unlikely to admit a bit of a masochistic side to himself.

Lovely view inside Holmes's head. :D

Don't make me do neurology. XD

This is AWESOME. It is so perfectly Holmes in its details and altogether perfectly hilarious. I LOVE IT.

The worst to do when you're trying hard not to laugh is to look at someone who tries just as hard. Holmes may know a lot, but I thought that this is something he has no personal experience in. =P

Hee! This case is wonderful just for seeing Holmes laugh. You've captured his thought processes beautifully here.

It's such a charming story, it'd be a waste not to make use of their smiles. :)
