Summary: What if Dr Frankenstein had had Dr Watson to keep him right? A story in which Sherlock's mother's maiden name is Frankenstein and Dr Watson has been invalided home towards the end of the Napoleonic Wars...
Notes: A stand-alone AU fusion fix-it fic written for the Springlock Exchange for swimmingbirdrunningrock's great prompt: John's the detective, Sherlock's the doctor. AU, fic or ficlet? Go wild. This connected to a thought I had had upon seeing Frankenstein with Mr Cumberbatch in the role of the scientist: every genius needs a John Watson.

Excerpt: “We are all egoists,” he said. “Every child likes to hear the story of his beginnings, the tale of his parents’ courtship, the events surrounding his birth, the parts of his story he cannot know himself.”
