I wasn't sure if I was going to actually write this story, because before I
could write it out I read Elisabeth by CAERISTHIONA and it's just so alike
this in plot that I'm ashamed to write this; people might think I stole her
idea. But I swear that this was my idea entirely. ENTIRELY! Seriously.
I was inspired by one of Jeremy Brett's interview answers (actually, a
couple of them).

"What I do is always build up an interior life: Like I've worked out where Holmes was born; I've decided what his nanny was life; he didn't see his mother until he was 8 years old, probably held the rustle of her skirt. The Victorian nanny didn't do anything except rub him and scrub him, tuck him up in bed and dump him. Didn't meet his father until he was 20, and he (the father or Sherlock??) was a prided, frightened little man, as indeed was his brother, Mycroft.
"There may have been this beautiful girl, that he fell flat for, but she didn't look at him. SO that broke his heart and he thought, "Well, I'm not going to be rejected again," so that's why he's the way he is.
"He also loves children because I've wondered where his love is channeled: because no one can be that unemotional. But I think there is an intimation from the baker street irregulars, the street urchins, and I think he pays them. you see, I'm into fantasy again. I think Holmes loves children.
I think it is his power of deduction, which is-you see, children have it until the age of 8, and then they lose it because they are told not to look out the window and to concentrate on their Latin. Holmes has been endowed by sir Arthur Conan Doyle with the antennae of a child.
Also, something else - feminine intuition, which I didn't realize until I played him for a while. He makes these little leaps. You know how a woman can get an answer that a man has to work his way towards (to get all the facts)?
Yes, so that's where I got my inspiration so I did NOT steal the idea from the author of Elisabeth, or anybody else for that matter. All my ideas are totally and completely original, and if I ever copy anybody's idea just a little, I will defiantly give them credit for it. OK, enough of my trying to convince you of my true innocence in plagiarism. "On with the motley", as Jeremy said. (This is ENTIRELY my idea! Even the Victor Trevor part!!! Sorry about that.)
