The Unexpected Key

Title: The Unexpected Key
Author: Desiderii
Fandom: Sherlock
Characters: John/Sherlock, Mycroft, Lestrade, OFC, Sally
Warning: NC-17, het, genderbender, AU
Length: Novella
Status: Completed


Miss Sherlock Holmes objects most strenuously to the very idea of finding a husband. Instead of accepting that she must, she sets out to ensure she will never have to.
John Watson, invalided home and recovering from a nasty bout of enteric fever, never thought to find anyone interested in him ever again, let alone someone like Sherlock.


At AO3

Definitely a must-read. I liked the Victorian setting, Sherlock's bloody stubbornness and Mycroft's desperate act. Yes, if Sherlock was female, if they were living in the Victorian Age, then it would have happened like this. If it hadn't... shame it wouldn't have XD
