Fandom: BBC Sherlock
Rating: Gen
Notes: Sherlock meets the other Jim Moriarty [a touch of ACD canon in Cumberbatch Sherlock]


“Jim Moriarty. Ah. Not much of a poker face, Sherlock Holmes. I’m not the Jim Moriarty you were expecting, am I?”

Sherlock’s grey eyes flitted about the stranger’s face like a trapped moth.

“Same mother, same father, same name, not the most imaginative people, our pater and mater familias.
If James was good enough for one son, why wouldn’t it be good enough for two? I work for the railroad, by the way, and I don’t actually know where the Jim Moriarty you want is, but I do know one thing.”

“What?”

“Wherever he is, he’s thumbing an old-fashioned Bradshaw.”

Very clever - of course in this 'verse both brothers would still have the same name.

Thank you! Yes, it would be too absurd an element for the show creators to pass up, I think.
