Oh, this is clever. This is very clever indeed. John is going to have to work this out on his own because Sherlock isn't going to do anything as sensible as try to explain it to him, and perhaps Sherlock doesn't really understand himself why he is suddenly drawn to Bartok's quartets...
Right. This is all falling into place in my head nicely, now I just need to, you know, actually write it. I'm feeling a bit nervous.
Oh, hey, I listened to a bit of Cabin Pressure last night and I think this is going to end up working, but does it work for you - character-wise for Martin - if I have Mycroft have Anthea charter a flight for the sole purpose of kidnapping Martin so he can be brought in as a ringer to play the part of Dogberry? The reader would have to accept that Martin is hilarious and familiar with the part for some reason. I'll have to think of some way to dispatch the actor who has been cast, but that's simple enough.
My brain was supplying John with lines like - 'He bore a startling resemblance to Sherlock, even in a house full of relatives.' - and then I realized that Martin is short and probably doesn't actually look anything like Sherlock...
