Title: The 15:06 to Totnes

Verse: Sherlock BBC

Reccer's comments: Sometimes you want to read a deep, soul-searing, novel length character study. And sometimes, you really just need a giggle. This text fic will definitely deliver the giggle.

Brief and slightly cracky, but also completely believable. The author uses the texting format especially well, painting a vivid mental image even without descriptive language. It's short. It's fun. It's completely adorable.

Could add, if recs are made. I see a difference in the two media of exchange, however, and in the special relationship texting has to the BBC show, as you've mentioned.
