Author's summary: Mr Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson are characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; Mr Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson are the unfortunate sods named after them (AKA a rather strange AU of 2010 Sherlock).

Reccer's comments: This fic is the fic that I rec to everyone if given half a chance. It's already pretty popular, but hey, never hurts to expose it just in case someone hasn't seen it before! Doesn't matter if they've seen the series or not, it's an amazing read and I will readily admit that I use it like a gateway drug to the crack that is Sherlock fandom.

In this fic, John and Sherlock have grown up in an England where their names mirror perhaps the most famous duo ever, and it changes... pretty much nothing. The characters are still very much the characters we know and love from the tv show, only with the added feel of "oh God, what is my life." Singularly delightful from the first paragraph to the last line (which I plan on making my LJ header one day), the fic's got a wry sense of humor that keeps you reading (and laughing!) the whole time.
