Fandom: Sherlock BBC
Genre: Sci Fi, AU
Length: Short (Words: 29,086)
Author's Summary:
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.
Review:
Really awesome, creative and well-written, this is Sherlock in a sci fi future in a writing style that at once captures the voice of the BBC series and has the author's own, unique and often lyrical voice. This fic follows canon a bit, but not completely which I appreciate. I'd have liked a bit more deviation from canon actually, especially in taking time to describe the setting more, give it more of that sci fi feel. YMMV.
