pixychelle? When I saw this factoid on a BBC list, I immediately thought of you:

7. A haddock's mating call starts as a slow knocking sound, before turning into a quicker hum similar to a small motorcycle revving its engine.

It also prompted me to look up our old thread about George the plotbunny. Sadly, my plans for the near future don't really have room for either quantum!Snupin or the veterinary!Snupin x Sherlock crossover that prompted this scene (originally scribbled 7/24/2006):

Hamish looked at the empreg blissfully snoozing on Lupin's palm, and
then at Lupin. "Surely even someone with your powers of denial has
noticed a trend here."

Lupin returned Hamish's gaze evenly, but too exhausted to feign
courtesy. "Yes. I am now completely convinced that your great-
great-grand-uncle slept with his flatmate's wife, because your
personality is definitely more Holmes than Watson."

Hamish replied with an elegant shrug. "There was no accounting for
threesomes back then. And just because I'm descended from Hufflepuffs
doesn't mean I'm a marshmallow. And along those lines, I really would
like to know what you plan to do about Snape treating our office as
his personal Ark."
