​He’s Not Paid Enough For This Shit by janonny (T)

Fandom: SHERLOCK BBC
Pairing: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, mention of Mycroft/Anthea
Length: 9,828
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: On AO3
Author Summary: One of the first things John did was to write up step-by-step instructions on how to conduct a proper job interview before handing it over to Mycroft for his perusal. There were no kidnapping, deserted car parks or stolen therapy notes anywhere on that list. (Or the one where John returned from the war and ended up working for Mycroft as his personal assistant slash doctor on retainer. Everything was fine, until he was sent to post bail for one Sherlock Holmes.)
Why this must be read: Another look at what could happen if Mycroft met John first. I love these alternate meetings, does it change how the characters relate to each other? I like the look into how John interacts with Mycroft as his assistant. This fic gives a good look into a confident and competent John. Go and try it!

Was I the only person who thought "personal assistant and slash doctor" and was surprised that it wasn't a John/Mycroft pairing? lol

Sounds like a good rec, though.
