...he met Sherlock Holmes!

I'm glad to have found this piece again. I last read it a few years ago, and it happens to be the first fanfiction I've ever read. As an extremely nostalgic person, I simply had to hunt this down and thank you. This piece is a quaint idea, nothing more or less, but it seems to capture the Layton charm in the short time from start to end. If I had one complaint, it's that the discourse between Holmes and Layton seems rather abrupt at the start, switching from haberdashery to puzzles as if a few lines of transition were lost. And while it is in-character for Holmes to boast of his detective skills, Layton is normally rather bashful about admitting such a thing. That said, were every fanfiction as good as this one this website would be a far better place. I thank you for the pleasant introduction to fanfiction, though you tricked me into thinking the rest of the fanfiction would be better than it actually is.

haha When Luke yelled "You met Sherlock Holmes?" I started laughing X) I love, love, love your stories and especially the way your write. It's unique... in a good way of course. And I love how you make Layton sound so... gentleman-ty.

Favorite lines:

"...the Professor wished that the boy came with a volume control knob."

"Here, Luke. Have a cookie and please be distracted."

This was great! You, my friend, are an amazing writer.

Here's how great this is: my sister hates it when I read fanfiction to her. Yet one day, I was making kool-aid and she was driving me nuts. So, I said "take this kool-aid powder cup and be distracted" and laughed hysterically. I then told her that it was from a fic where Layton met Sherlock Holmes (then I said the "be distracted" thing again when she said that she never heard of him). I then read this to her, she enjoyed it, and the "Take a [insert thing here] and be distracted" has become one of our catchphrases.

Professor Layton and Sherlock Holmes would be BEST FRIENDS! Crossover time! Except I'm too lazy...:P Well, there's a story idea for whoever wants it. "Here, Luke. Have a cookie and please be distracted." :D :D

That was EXCELLENT! It made my day. Right now I'm trying to draw a mini comic of the scenario. There's just one thing wrong with your story, though...shouldn't it be "Have a BISCUIT and be distracted?...

Hmm. Doesn't have the same ring to it.

xD

OMG! THE PROFESSOR MET SHERLOCK HOMES! But Layton is a far cooler character so there.

"Have a cookie and please be distracted."

XD You have truly made my night!

Lol, this was great

"... you met Sherlock Holmes."

"Yes."

"... you met Sherlock Holmes."

"... yes, Luke, I did."

"... you met Sherlock Holmes."

"Here, Luke. Have a cookie and please be distracted."

So Funny!:D

Luke is always a child and he's cute that way. He's really funny at the end.

Wow, I never expected that the ptofessor met Sherlock Holmes. Luke is so surprised and he's funny. Poor professor, try to clam the boy down.

Very good fan-fic.

HAHA! i had a good chuckle over that! i was waiting for someone to have a cross over (sorta) haha! cute, very cute! especially with luke's 'you met sherlock holmes?' hahah!

Oh God, the ending killed me with laughter. "Have a cookie and please be distracted" AWESOME way to end a story. XD

Hahaha great definitely
