Oh, yay! What an inspired premise, putting Watson in the improv hot-seat, and letting Kincaid be the knowledgable director of the drama! And your character voices are just right, both Kincaid and Watson, but also Mrs. Aspinall switching between herself and “Miss Morstan”: it was always clear exactly who she was meant to be in any given line.
I laughed out loud at Holmes twitting Watson about the age gap, at “Mary”’s soupçon of a feather (and Watson’s admiration of it!), at Watson’s familiarity with the female body, his passion for his chemistry, the true provenance of the VR… :-)
And the case is lovely, too — a conspiracy to do something nice, for once! (Even if they could improve the execution so as to not upset their mother.) And Kincaid and Mrs. Aspinall having their tender moment on the train platform…! And I do appreciate your implicit fix-it for Lestrade and Miss Giles; there is nothing shameful in that romance, not at all.
In short, I enjoyed this thoroughly. Thank you for writing and sharing it!
