ah! did not see that ending coming, despite the fact that Clara in my head is definitely a barrister. now there's an accident waiting to happen... can just see Sherlock pulling off the "I am ready to be redeemed by the love of a good woman" look. and of course the boarding school question would get through to him when not much else does!
I remembered you'd had Clara as a barrister in some of your fics, so shamelessly ripped that possibility off when I first had the idea for some legal fic. (It's not plagiarism though, it's research!). But Clara and Harry are among the most protean of all the characters, and I'm losing track of how many different jobs they have in different people's fics, from doctor to senior police officer to business consultant. (I'm doing one currently where Harry's a historian). If we ever get canon on who/what they really are, it's going to cramp our style no end!
yes, getting canon on these two really would spoil our party - have to hope it doesn't happen, even though it would be interesting to see some version of them in series 2. mind you, given what passes for female characterization in series 1, maybe they should just leave the women to the rest of us!
I love this more than I love fresh bread, and Cornsweet's "Visual Perception," and hell, breathing I think!
John and Harry are both attracted to the brilliant, irrepressible ones then. Hooray!
Memming this like mad.
And can I interest you in some literature on the odour of semen? Or a possible correlation between porn-seeking behaviour and election results? Because they're fascinating and this feels like the only place in the world we can talk about that stuff!
Just put a post up especially for us to discuss weird science things that Sherlock really ought to know about. So please bring those references there, we all want to hear about them.
Thank god I have a husband I can exchange forwards of interesting/bizarre scientific articles with!!!
I can so easily see this happening, considering Sherlock has worse social skills than even I have. It would never have occurred to him that it might upset someone to have him bring up fruit bats and fellatio.
What a pain in the ass he must be as a client for an attorney!
The bit about who his attorney's wife is - and who she's using as her beard - rocks. XD
And the article about the guy accused of harrassment IRL - wow, what a mess! I agree that it had to have been because of the whole research/conflict of interest thing. The guy is fascinating! He's even a DJ on the side! (And he has a bit of music called "Fruitbatman" too, with samples from the old Batman TV show.)

Anyway, enough about the 'inspiration' - this fic was hysterical, and I loved the twist at the end. :)

"Because if you did, a paper about bats wouldn't have been enough. You'd have wanted an actual fruit bat to show her, wouldn't you? Or even a pair."
...perfect! And I loved the fact that it turned out to be Clara.
