Out of curiosity, OP, have you read E.W. Hornung's Raffles series? Written by ACD's brother-in-law, no less, it has a Holmes and Watson-esque dynamic, except illegal activities! (To wit: Victorian-era gentleman thief burgles people with the help of his chronicler/beleaguered sidekick who is aware of said thief's audacity and general jerkitude yet cannot help but assist.)

It's all on Project Gutenberg if you're curious. And if you are familiar with it, OP, my apologies for reiterating what you already know :)

It's the second time today I see Hornung mentioned in a Sherlock Holmes-related conversation. I think I'll go and read the hell out of his works now; he sounds awesome.

My first thought was of the Raffles series. I didn't know he was ACD's brother-in-law though.

I used to love the Raffles TV series.

I was just coming to say this. If you want a criminal Holmes equivalent, Raffles is the way to go. Though Raffles always struck me as much more cruel than Holmes.

Alternately, Leblanc's Arsene Lupin, although he lacks a Watson, and includes a blatant and at the time illegal crossover with Holmes himself (The Hollow Needle). I've always had a soft spot for his Lestrade equivalent, though. Ganimard is so much fun.

Raffles is much more cruel - Raffles/Bunny is my forever OTP, partly because it is so unhealthy.

One of my favorite things about Yuletide is that there are usually new Raffles fics. I think I've requested Raffles for 5 out of 6 Yuletides and never been matched on it. Probably won't get matched on it this year either, which is good because my Yuletide letter is bad and uninspirational.
