A/N: None of these characters are mine (except the officer on the door), and I hope the owners will not begrudge my borrowing of them. I love Sherlock (both ACD, BBC and many incarnations in between) and I love Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London books (if you haven't read them, do it NOW) so, it seemed only fair to bring the two together.
And bonus points for spotting the reference to Alexander McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency.
About the jumper, it's not romance or pre-slash. I wanted Sherlock to feel warm and surrounded by friendship and comfort as he recovers not only from injury and pro-longed absence. The jumpers are so quintessentially John that I figured, in Sherlock's mind, they would denote that comfort and caring he craves. So Sherlock asks for one of John's old jumpers.
Warnings: non-graphic mention of suicide, Sherlock Series 3 Spoilers, crime scene
Summary: “It was a pleasant Sunday morning in early November. Little did I know, as the autumn sunlight shone through the window of 221B Baker Street, that by that evening my entire World view and everything I thought I understood would have changed.”
John and a recovering Sherlock are called to an unusual crime scene. What they discover results in stress for Lestrade and a consultation with the officers of The Folly.
