Usually it's Moran who I think meets up with Holmes from time to time in a sort of... not stalking exactly but they get thrown together occasionally and they're both extremely suspicious of each other while being fascinated by each other, and I don't really care for most Holmes and Moriarty interaction or that whole idea that Moriarty has this real obsession with Holmes (something the Conan Doyle Estate have tried to claim is true, literally calling Moriarty "Sherlock’s number one nemesis and obsessive fan" which probably says all you need to know about the canonical accuracy of that idea. This from the same people by the way who have listed Eurus as if she's a canonical Holmes sibling) but I am suddenly very enamoured by the idea of Moriarty being slightly creepily sinister and sort of randomly appearing to Holmes in completely unexpected places (like sidling up to him while he's, I don't know, browsing through books in a book shop or something) and making rather cryptic remarks to him, an idea which probably fits my vampire universe very well (though I still have no clue what I'd actually do with Holmes in this universe. I really have no interest in making it about Holmes/Watson or even really involving Watson in it at all or having a major focus on Holmes. But I am still very much interested in the canonical Odessa Odesa thing and the Trepoff murder (though I still don't know if Trepoff was the murderer or the victim, although let's say that I would have absolutely no moral objection to having a Russian villain in this) and that is something I would still like to explore with Moriarty and Moran's involvement in that, which means also Holmes (but not Watson) would probably be involved there somehow.)
