Fabulous premise, and not just for the title (I am all for the women getting more play in Sherlock fic). I particularly enjoyed how you handled the off-screen action (John being a BAMF as usual), and how Harry's concept of John and Sherlock comes together piecemeal, through others' eyes, before she has a chance to observe for herself. Sally makes an especially interesting "mediator" for Harry because we so seldom see her as anything but hostile and unsympathetic, and this is a very believable take of the flip side of her character.

I love this! Your characterizations are spot-on, and I love your BAMF!John (this line cracked me up: “None of them had weapons. And I didn’t want to take up police resources.”) I also really like your Harry: a little screwed up, sure, but she's trying.

I love this so very much, but the line that amused me no end was:
Her brother’s blog had been all about how much of a genius this Sherlock is, but he’d never mentioned that the man’s a looker, too. The furthest thing from Harry’s type, and yet she wouldn’t mind looking at him day in and day out.
Me too Harry :P

SKDJFSALKJHFAL I have been wanting somebody to write Harry and Sally together for ages and here you are! Absolutely lovely, the characterization was spot-on. Thank you for sharing this.
