Author: Persiflager
Pairing: none
Length: 1814
Rating: General Audiences
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: Written for this prompt on the kinkmeme - A day in the life of Jim from IT.
Reccer's comments: I could fill up a whole month reccing Persiflager. Clever starting points characterize this writer's hot, cute, funny, sometimes unnerving and heartbreaking little fics, packed with wryly observed detail.
Much is implied rather than stated in this quick interstitial character study, both about Jim and about action offstage. I have been back to it several times for a laugh and a shiver.
Jim’s desk phone rings shrilly. He flexes his fingers and picks up. “Hello, IT department.”
“Yeah, hi, I’ve got a problem with my computer…”
Jim rolls his shoulders, slackens his face muscles, and proceeds to be cheerfully, plausibly incompetent.
Be afraid.
