For those familiar with Agatha Christie

Opinion time!

If you were updating Poirot and Hastings to fit into the Sherlock 'verse (which I am attempting, somewhat unsuccessfully to do), would you expect them to call each other Poirot and Hastings or Hercule and Arthur?

Also, The Moustache: required or not? I mean, it's sort of essential to Poirot as a character, but it's also very, very not in fashion at the moment. I can have him sport it as a sort of eccentricity (which is a Poirot thing to do), but I don't know if it works.

Thoughts, questions, concerns?

The Adventure Of John And Hastings
?


(seriously, all the best)

I would totally just give in and write that, except for the prompt I was trying to write was for Sherlock and Poirot, with no mention of their sidekicks.

At the moment, it's more like "John and Hastings Bitch about their Respective Geniuses and Discuss the Fact that They are Essentially the Same Character". I mean, I know Christie was going for a Watson for her hero, but it's a bit silly how similar this two guys are. Which is probably why they won't shut up.
