Nemesises. Nemesees? Nemesisi? Either way, I’m having waaaaay too much fun on finals week.
Sherlock has Mycroft, and Watson has…The Chip-and-Pin Machine. I’m with him on the state of those thing’s evilness however. I think Crowley did it.
I do believe that John is about 534654 times more irritated with the machine than Sherlock ever would be with Mycroft.
This does raise an interesting theory: By the rules of Tropes and Fandom, because the Machine and John are enemies, there is someone, out there, somewhere, that has shipped John with the Chip-and-Pin Machine.
(If you’ve written/will write that fanfic, do share. I’ll do a free commish for whoever does,)
