An Ordinary Meeting by aragonite (G)
Fandom: SHERLOCK HOLMES
Pairing: none
Length: 2250 words
Author on LJ: not that I know of
Author Website: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1460858/aragonite
Why this must be read:
Okay, I admit it -- I chose this story because aragonite's other stories are (fascinating, absorbing) WIPs. But if you're any kind of Lestrade or Watson fan, this is a new author you've got to give a try, and at least this is the very first of the stories, so that's fair, right?
The first time he came to Baker Street, the housekeeper showed herself to be a stamp above the last, slightly boozy matron off Montague. A proper lady, Lestrade was glad to doff his hat to someone who could pay him the respect of looking him in the eye—and he had a feeling her cooking would be trusted.
“Mind you to always knock before you go up, sir.” She told him kindly. “Mr. Holmes is an excitable enough fellow.”
“You don’t say, Mrs. Hudson.” Lestrade’s acting skills were largely underappreciated.
“And then of course, there’s the poor doctor.”
If you read beyond this one expect lots of lovely bits of detail about Victorian London, an elaborate history for Lestrade, a dark and complicated Watson, and an utterly delightful take on Holmes as viewed by the Yard.
