That's one of the reasons I enjoy AUs too (reading them and, in this instance and another unpublished one, writing them). It's a lot of fun to dwell on what would be different/same if things were different. I'm glad you can still see some of Sherlock's 'core' in him.
Yes, interesting normal. Well, I needed to figure out why Sherlock would be drawn to John because eventually, the mask won't be novel and mysterious anymore. I think Sherlock would be interested in the duality he saw in John.
Your comment made me go back and edit this chapter because there were two small details missing. I think Sherlock would love to experiment on dead body parts, but Lestrade will never steal him severed limbs. I'm afraid he has to use animals, plants, people... whatever's around. Since he didn't attend university, all his knowledge comes from books and he'll jump on any occasion he gets to experience things first hand (this will come up in a later chapter).
