Fic Rec: Tall, Dark and Belstaff
Title: Tall, Dark and Belstaff
Author: dimity_blue
Pairing: Mrs Turner’s married ones
Length: 3,400 words
Rating: gen
Warnings: none
Verse: BBC Sherlock
Author's summary: What do the married ones next door think of Sherlock and John?
Reccer's comments: I know of few fics with a more adequate summary than this one. What we get in this fic is a rendition of that fateful evening Sherlock and John moved into Baker Street, told from the POV of Mrs Turner’s married ones.
Nothing ever happens in Baker Street so Matt and Ryan are almost constantly glued to the windows to goggle and speculate at the perpetual comings and goings, apart from the time they spend eavesdropping with the aid of a glass to the wall.
The author has a wonderful sense of truly dry British humour. The second sentence produced a smile on my face. Halfway through I was swiping my eyes and my sides were splitting from laughter. And yet, ridiculous as Matt and Ryan seem the reader does sympathise with them. Only imagine ending up with a pair of neighbours like Sherlock Holmes and John Watson.
