1	What, you didn't think a DarkerAndEdgier AlternateUniverse can have funny moments?
2
3	Think again.
4	----
5	* Lestrade delivers much of the humor, usually as a DeadpanSnarker. If he's in the scene, you can generally count on a sarcastic comment sooner or later.
6	-->"Actually, it wasn't as bad as... wait, what? God help me – should I even bother telling this story or are you simply going to deduce the rest of the journey from my shirt cuffs?"
7	* Despite being the DistressedDude, Holmes has his moments, as well.
8	-->"Since you were not blessed with wings... north or south?"
9	* And put InspectorLestrade and Literature/SherlockHolmes together, and you're just ''bound'' to have fireworks...
10	-->'''Lestrade:''' "Hm, that went well, didn't it? You really have a way with women, Mr Holmes; can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?"
11	-->'''Holmes:''' (growls) "Be quiet, Lestrade, you are not amusing. Go away..."
12	-->'''Lestrade:''' (cheerfully) "Sorry, Mr Holmes, I can't do that. Doctor's orders, he asked me to have a word with you... several, in fact."
13	-->'''Holmes:''' "So help me, Lestrade, if I could get out of this bed..."
14	* Which is not even mentioning how Holmes keeps thinking that Lestrade's lost it:
15	-->Perfect, it is now official – Lestrade has gone stark, staring mad.
16	** And:
17	-->Wonderful, another reason to doubt the man's sanity. If Moran wants to kill Lestrade as well, he'll have to get in line...
18	* Mary as the TeamMom[=/=]PintsizedPowerhouse.
19	-->'''Lestrade:''' "You talk as if I had some kind of choice in the matter, Mr Holmes. The first I even knew that Mary was following me was on the boat from Newhaven. Came up beside me while I was hanging over the rail and offered me a ginger pill, as calm and unruffled as you please."
20	* This. Just [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments THIS]]:
21	-->'''Lestrade:''' "Ha! Seriously, Martha, we still have to get past the police. Do you really think this is going to work?"
22	-->'''Mary:''' "Safety in numbers, dear brother, I do believe it will. Mrs Peabody's 'personality' should prove sufficient cover." ''Or if need be, a battering ram.'' "Shall we?"
23	-->'''Lestrade:''' "Absolutely, my dear Martha. By all means, introduce me to our charming new friends!"
24	-->'''Mary:''' "Bite your tongue, George..."
25	-->'''Lestrade:''' "And why is the driver now beaming at our good benefactress? I thought he was going to hit her with his whip a little while ago!"
26	-->'''Mary:''' "Well, I may have ''slightly'' exaggerated to her the fee that the driver told me. I think it might be the largest tip Franz has ever received. Why do you think the two of us are riding free of charge?"
27	-->'''Lestrade:''' "I didn't know we were – does she?"
28	-->'''Mary:''' "Least said is soonest mended, dear brother…" ''Moriarty may have to concede his title of criminal mastermind.''
