Sherlock Fic: Effect Detective

Effect Detective
“Sherlock you-” John hissed. “You’re insane!”

Sherlock sighed, and waved at the curved mirror to their right.

John looked at it. He felt like he was blushing, though he couldn’t see anything under the thick paint.

“I can’t run in these shoes, so if that lion isn’t tame-”

“Quiet, Bubbles!”

I think so, too! I sort of want to see it, now.

I loved this, and it made me laugh - but also scratch my head. Maybe I'm being particularly thick, but how does this relate to Shakespeare?

[goldvermilion87]

Glad you enjoyed it. :)

It's inspired by the "that he is mad 'tis true" speech from Hamlet. Specifically, it illustrates "for to define true madness, what is't but to be in truth mad." And the title itself is a play on "to know the cause of this effect, or I should say the cause of this defect, for this effect defective comes by cause"

Ah, that makes sense! I was trying to associate it with one of his plays that features fools, or clowns, and coming up blank: "...not Lear... ...no, not Twelfth Night... ...Falstaff is right out... ...darn it, what is it?" ;-)

Yeah.

I love love LOVE Hamlet, so I like to make obscure-ish allusions to it. :-P
