Author's summary: Everyone is female, for one thing. No, I don't know why I wrote them all as girls either, except possibly as a slightly desperate reaction to this show's female character problem. Um. And they go on holiday. And there is also A Scandal in Bohemia but with lesbians. And snakes. Look, I don't know why you're asking me, I'm just the writer.
It had been Harry's idea to take Joan on holiday. It had not, however, been Harry's idea to bring Joan's deranged flatmate, her equally alarming sister, a skull, two snakes, a box full of blood samples and a senior Scotland Yard official.
Reccer's comments: I'm particularly fond of genderswap fics, and BBC Sherlock has a lot of good ones. I chose this one to rec because everybody in it is female, and it's well written, and because it's got some nice humor in it and of course features Irene and Anthea, two of my favorite characters.

Note: Can I get a tag for anthea/irene? Thanks!
