one tiny thing that just struck me:
How far the show went out of its way to make it clear that Holmes wasn’t sexually pressuring Irene. He offered her his “bet,” and I can imagine a zillion other shows that just would have left it there as a sexy “edgy” flirtation, but no - Holmes stopped himself in the middle of the flirt to make it clear that he was not conditioning his silence about her thefts on her going on a date with him.
Similarly, when he came to see her after she refused to go out with him again, obviously someone somewhere was afraid he’d look like a stalker, and so he began his speech by making it very clear that he understood it was her right to refuse him - I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a show actually spell that out in words before, because we’re all supposed to understand that the romantic couple is meant to be and therefore all’s fair, etc etc.
“See, we all begin wide-eyed, pure science, and then the ego steps in, the obsession and… You look up… You’re a long way from shore.”
Can I just say how much I appreciated this moment between the two of them? A couple of intelligent, professional women having a quiet conversation that didn’t involve jealousy or catfights or any other drama. I’ll even go out on a limb and say that maybe this was remembered when Maya had her change of heart and tried to help Tony when Killian was threatening him. The one and only thing I didn’t like about the movie was Maya being killed off.
Doctor Who AU; The original TARDIS team in a Noir.
When one Detective Ian Chesterton helps an old ex-flame, a nightclub owner named Barbara Wright, to find information about the disappearance of her sister, they end up with more than they ever bargained for. Caught in the crossfire of a bloody and long-standing mobster families feud, the pair must join in a shaky alliance with John “The Doctor” Smith and his granddaughter Susan, if any of them want to make it out alive.
Susan, being the next in line to the head of their gangster family, “The Whos”, has made her a target among the other crime bosses and she must be protected by all means, but what is The Doctor hiding from them by doing this? And just how far is he willing to go to ensue her safety?
The group’s floundering trust is put to the test when clues are uncovered for Barbara’s sister’s disappearance, and that The Doctor and Susan might be responsible for it.
Questions arise, tempers flare, passions ignite, and deeply buried pasts are all brought to the light.
Will this group of unlikely people be able to put aside their differences and history to save themselves? Or will their conflicting characters prove too great and be their demise?
I have no idea what I’m doing. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
This is a brilliant AU. Also a lot of hot in this set. Approves greatly <3

“Pep, look at me honey.”
His voice tried to remain calm. Mostly to keep Pepper from freaking out, but also to try and calm himself in the same manner. It didn’t seem to work as the lift moved further and further towards it’s destination, which in turn caused Tony’s heart to quicken.
He didn’t…
