This Machine Called Man by tartanfics (PG-13)

Pairing: Gen
Length: 29086

Why this must be read:
London, 2081. John Watson, former army roboticist, has an expired licence and an illegal tri-wing screwdriver in his desk. Sherlock Holmes has fingerprints and a name, and in an office somewhere in Whitehall there are blueprints for the metal underneath his perfect, artificial skin.

Sherlock is an android, and pretty much has exactly the same personality, just with even less reasons to eat and more reasons to rub almost everyone the wrong way. Only Sherlock is a little too human to be a normal android, and he knows he wants John Watson around to repair any possible damage he could accrue. John Watson, still the wounded ex-soldier, finds a taste for Sherlock’s brand of adventure (as he always does), and comes out the other side of their first few days of acquaintance giggling at crime scenes with a robot. Even though it's a robot/kind of cyberpunk AU, the characters are similar enough to their canon counterparts that the addition of robots seem only slightly out of the ordinary.
