Author's summary: Something very strange keeps happening at 7:35 PM.

Reccer's comments: After an accident, Sherlock Holmes and Benedict Cumberbatch wake up in each other's body - Benedict faced with having to pretend to be a genius and face down supervillains and Sherlock having to adapt to the life of a well loved actor. The author does a great job of expanding on the humour of the premise, showing both men struggling with their fish out of water existence as they try to find a way back to their true homes and the people they love. There is also a smart and intriguing mystery plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

I loved how funny and observant this story was, and how well it riffs off of our knowledge of the characters and real people involved in the story. Despite not usually being one for RPF, it's one of my favourites.
