Fraser, canonically, is a guy who's highly guarded in terms of his self-perceived points of emotional vulnerability, but who also has a weird and somewhat invasive sense of personal space/boundaries! (Y'know, hence the slashy.) Often charming, sometimes off-putting.
I know little about Highlander besides the basic premise, the basic premise of the spinoff, what's in this wacky picspam of an episode (incidentally, by the author of "Turtle Eclipse of the Heart," who's a Nicholas Lea fan! the actor guested on that HL episode... I enjoyed Krycek on The X-Files and that's about all I know of Nick Lea), and what's in this gen crossover short with House (I don't even know what Watchers on HL are, but I highly recommend the oneshot based on its excellent characterization of House). So, nothing more than what I got through fannish osmosis, but - like you, I'm guessing - I've never been all that interested in HL either.
At a glance, Adler is charming in "Thoughts Without Words," but you're right - Holmes is kind of OOC (many years ago, I was a little interested in the books). I'm not really into Sherlock Holmes, but I will take a closer look at the stories later! Thank you for the recs. The "Clever Woman, Doctor's Wife" series looks sweet and kind of promising, and the installments are short!

Re: I want a Sherlock Holmes icon. Actually, I want more icon space in general.
