Author: Anonymous
Pairing: Gen.
Length: 7 parts at sherlockbbc_fic
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: No warnings apply.
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Prompt: When John says to Mike "who would want me for a flatmate?" Mike doesn't ask "what do you mean by that?" He also doesn't say "oh, what'd be wrong with you as a flatmate?" He just accepts that John would be a difficult person to find a flat for and moves on to Sherlock. Given that Mike knows at least a little of how odd Sherlock is and yet suggests Watson as a good match, does this imply that John has some weird habits of his own, without regard to his experiences in Afghanistan?

Reccer's comments: This is an oldie! It was written a month before I even watched my first episode and I have no clue anymore how I found it. It’s a very sweet description of how Mike Stamford’s relationship with John Watson started and how it blossomed during their uni years. It also beautifully explains why Mike didn’t skip a beat suggesting that Sherlock and John would be very good for each other. Mike Stamford just doesn’t get enough love for the wonderful thing he did here, but this is a small way to make it up to him!

It also comes with this wonderful comment that has me smiling every time I think about that happening.
