Fic Rec: The Affair of the Asphyxiated Acafan

Title: The Affair of the Asphyxiated Acafan
Author: AJHall on AO3
Pairing: John/Sarah
Length: 29,504 words
Rating: Teen
Warnings: Author chose not to use warnings
Verse: Sherlock BBC

Author's summary: Sarah flies home from a conference in the US and brings an unexpected gift home for her boyfriend - or, more precisely, his flatmate. Game on!

Reccer's comments: Sarah Sawyer was, and is, another of my favourite Sherlock women. Intelligent, badass, and insightful. I love that this case fic is largely from her point of view. Another huge highlight (for me, at least) are Chapters 3 and 4. No man in sight. Just the women in the fic at Sarah's flat discussing the murder victim, on their own. *nods*

Very good that you recced this awesome casefic by the ever brilliant AJHall. Can't second this enough. Sarah is a true delight in this and it also features my very favourite Harry Watson portrayal. An immensely enjoyable read.

Totally second the rec of this brilliant fic. Sarah shines with true star quality, Harry isn't an alcoholic wreck for a change and I even got to like Sally. The whole story is way over the top and AJHall's marvellous language a true delight.
