I really respect that when agatha christie wrote her sherlock holmes ripoff (affectionate) with poirot and gave him his own watson with hastings she didn't simply stop at the "detective and his associate/bestie/roommate" parallel but also decided to make them just as sickenly codependent and possibly in love as holmes and watson. 10/10. no notes. she even gave them a fake death that leaves the other inconsolable.
#well some notes#but mostly amazing work#I mean idk if saying they're in love even does them justice#they are beyond even a clinical diagnosis with what they got going on#agatha christie#and this post is very specifically about the book versions#hastings#arthur hastings#hercule poirot#poirot#poirotxhastings
