Fic Rec: Mouth of Babes (from The Sophie Series)
Title: Mouth of Babes (from The Sophie Series)
Author: morganstuart
Pairing: Gen
Length: 2300
Rating: PG
Warnings: none
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: Several weeks after the explosion at the pool, Lestrade visits the recuperating Sherlock and John at 221B Baker Street. He brings case files and food... and a visitor in tow.
Reccer's comments: morganstuart has an almost preternatural ability to excavate new revelations about the Sherlock characters while keeping them true to the personalities we know and love from the show. In her masterful Sophie series, Lestrade's young daughter has some fascinating interactions with Sherlock, John, and basically every minor character. I am normally not one much for original characters, but morganstuart fit Sophie into the universe of the show so well that I forgot that she doesn't actually appear in the series. She's clever, charming, and spunky without being an unnaturally-perfect child. I'd agree to babysit her in a second, and I. Do not. Babysit.
So, come to see a little girl compliment Sherlock on how pretty his curly hair is, stay for the meerkats, bring tissues for the thrilling conclusion. The whole series can be found by following the appropriate tag on morganstuart's journal.
