So, I'm working on a fill for this Ancient Roman!Sherlock/gladiator!John AU prompt, and while later parts are flowing OK and I've got most of the crime plot worked out, the start doesn't want to comply...but I've got Part 1a up at last! (I hate character limits, 1b is also up, I suppose.) Is it fitting that it's the Ides of March?

If you've got any concrit, please share on my LJ rather than the kinkmeme, it's easier for me to refer to and helps out people who read the comm in flat view :D (no fears, anon posting is enabled here too and I don't get offended if it's not all out flaming ;3)
1c will be third person POV!John, if anyone cares. xD
