Reccer's comments: This story gives me what I want for Sally's character and for her relationship with Sherlock. I don't need them to be friends, but I really want them to be colleagues.

Length: about 29,000 words
Rating: mature

Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: Two Elizabethan actors dream of leaving women's roles behind, and Master Sherlock Holmes agrees to help them find them a playwright to write them roles to rival Marlowe's Tamburlaine. But strange things are afoot in the Holmes household, and Sherlock and John must accomplish this feat while discovering who wants to kill Sherlock and why.

Reccer's comments: Dear Reader, hurry to behold,
the wondrous tale that here is told,
of a ship’s surgeon who found new employ,
in looking after an intemperate boy.
And thus became a star struck lover,
and helped a most foul deed uncover.
Shakespeare, (Blackadder) and Sherlock BBC,
all thrown together to enthrall thee,
In a story of romance and heroes and death,
though the ending is happy, they all end up in bed. (sincere apologies for that last one but hell, I'm no Shakespeare and no mundungus42 either. Unfortunately).
