Oh, I love it when John picks up detecting stuff from Sherlock. Probably without even realizing it, at the time. And really, just living with Sherlock definitely should satisfy his craving for thrills; he doesn't need to gamble anymore, and I like how you show him realizing that.

John's not stupid; he'd have to pick up some of Sherlock's tricks after a while. It's just that, as long as Sherlock's around, he'll always be a low second - but put him in a crowd of normal people, and I'm sure he'd shine. It's one of my favourite things to see in any Holmesian fandom. ^-^

So glad you liked it, and thanks for the comment!

That was really great! Of course if Sherlock had been in that pub with John he would have immediately informed him that he did a splendid job but missed everything of importance. :D

Glad you liked, thanks! And oh yes, I'm sure Sherlock would have known also about the guy's liver condition, and his son who's failing college, and his sick dog, as well as the route he took to get there... ;P

Sweet! Watson does the trick... :-)

A tiny Britpick you might want to fix - we no longer have one pound notes. These days we have one pound and two pound coins. The smallest denomination note in sterling is five pounds. Damn the inflation...

Eek, thanks! Fixed! Thanks so much for the comment and the tip. =D
