I see plot bunnies everywhere I look.

I sat down to do my sherlock60, and this week's story is The Man with the Twisted Lip.  We get a nice extended intro, which I always appreciate, and in it Watson states, "Folk who were in grief came to my wife like birds to a light-house."  Well, I went over to the comm to see what other people were writing so far, and chess_ka had chosen to do a bit showing the particular 'bird' that Mrs Watson is currently tending deciding to go to her.  And just after that, azriona had posted a gorgeous little 60 about Mrs Watson and her needlework and Watson's love for his wife and for Holmes.

BLAM

People come to Mrs Watson and to Holmes for help when in need.

For about 30 seconds I was happy as a clam.  60 practically written.

Then it hit me that I bet Mrs Watson's 'cases' would make for a really interesting AU.

And you know that Dr Watson would come home at the end of each day and inquire about his wife's day and she'd totally downplay the fact that she'd solved a murder and leave out altogether the arsenic-laced tea, and he'd say, 'that's nice, dear' and go to bed all in ignorance.

Long story made short, I now have a 'plot bunnies' tag.

Muhaha! This would be an AU made of awesome!! I'd totally read it! :-D

(And the ideas about her adventures appearing in some kind of women's magazine and Holmes dropping hints about it are fantastic, too! ^^)

Well a girl has to occupy herself somehow when her husband is still dashing off and about with Holmes at all hours! And Holmes totally drops hints. :-)
