Why this must be read:
It was hard to pick just one story by Morgan Stuart - pretty much all of them are great reads. I decided on "Not Dying Today" because I get a kick out of Sherlock and Anderson being forced to work together - and doing it well too.
There is a podfic available, read by the incomparable lunchee. I got an iPod recently and I love having people read fics to me. PS. it took some experimentation to get the iTunes/iPod and a Sony speaker dock to work properly with the fanfiction. If anyone has questions - write me. I may be able to help.

Glimpses he'd caught from the corner of his eye showed Lestrade fighting with a grim and brutal efficiency more suggestive of youthful street experience than simple professional training. Apparently a few years at the head of a team or behind a desk didn't trump decades of hard-won muscle memory.
In one of the surreal, detached moments that sometimes came to him in the thick of battle, John had pondered this. It was no mystery why he, always the smallest and slightest, had learned to hold his own in a fight at a young age, even before joining the military. When he tried to imagine Lestrade at seventeen, it occurred to him that the other man probably had possessed an equally urgent need to know how to defend himself.
After all, bullies targeted the beauties as often as the runts, didn't they? And the pretty ones drew other unwelcome attention, besides.
One split lip and several bruised ribs later, John had put down a second man hard — perhaps too hard, if the sound of bone striking metal railing gave any indication. The bloody fog obscured everything around them. It was like swimming through stew.
Swinging about to engage the man at his back, John had registered Lestrade's cry, but his first instinct had been to pause and look for the detective inspector rather than heed his warning of "Knife!"
By the time John had located Lestrade in the confusion, it was too late for both of them.
