WOAH, AU TIME. This meandered a teensy bit off prompt, mostly because I was having too much fun with John and Jim. I thought about fleshing it out a little more, but I decided to work the prompt into the background rather than going back and changing the actual episodes. So the usual warnings: unbeta'd, poorly written, OOC John the likes of which you've probably never seen before, spoilers, etc.

The Watsons find him on their doorstep, swaddled in a threadbare blanket. Tucked in the folds is a sealed envelope addressed To Hamish, when he is grown.

John Hamish is a brilliant child, so brilliant that his parents worry about him attending school with the normal children. After a few weeks, he seems to settle in, to adjust, to descend to the intellectual level of his peers and his adoptive parents breathe a little sigh of relief.

Trololol, unfortunately no. Well, maybe. I'll probably write a sequel to this, but not 'till Series 3 comes out, so you and I can sit here, suck lemons, and yell 'MOFTISSSSSSSSSS!' at the top of our lungs.

You think it's believable? Man, whenever I think about this fic I'm terrified that John came across as having Dissociative Identity Disorder (which he kinda does, in the way that all actors do), but yeah, with Hamish as a middle name this prompt was just asking for it. Lololol, John is such an overachiever in his own little way.
