Tennis, Sherlock, John, Jim. Story told XD Nah, seriously, for the love of tennis, read it. Sherlock's not as beastly and prickly as in Canon but nonetheless I enjoyed his characterization. The real perl in there is John, though. Told from his narrative, and it couldn't be a more spot-on version of him. Just the way I see him, somewhat insecure but lots of raw talent in him, capable of loving with his whole heart and embrace difficult people, yet naive in some ways.
