221b_recsTitle: Smitty [series]
Author: NairobiWonders
Pairing: Joan Watson/Sherlock Holmes
Length: 9440
Rating: T
Warnings: N/A
Verse: Elementary
Author's summary: "What Smitty Saw" - A just for fun fic, humor (hopefully), joanlock. "A Small Plus" - a sort of continuation...I swore I would never do a pregnancy story with these characters. It always seemed so OOC to imagine them as parents but cadencelili asked about it and started me thinking that perhaps with this lighter version of Sherlock and Joan it might work. It's just for fun so uhm ... Here goes.
Reccer's comments: The trials and entirely amusing tribulations of poor Officer Smitty, who has the consistent bad luck to inadvertently interrupt Sherlock and Watson - here in a previously-established, if secret, sexual relationship — in various compromising positions. That said, the author's teen rating is appropriate; sexual content is implied, not explicit. The second story is a pregnancy AU with both comic and serious elements (one of which neatly explains why Sherlock and Mycroft look nothing alike). It ends with the baby's birth; this is not kid!fic. There's a little bit of everything else though: some fluff, some case work, some curtain fic, some bickering, some hurt/comfort, some romance. The series is listed as incomplete, but both stories are finished, and nothing's been added in almost 2 years.

Excerpt:
"Oh for the love of God, why me?" The exasperated voice came from under the hood of a plastic grey rain poncho. Is this all these people do, thought Smitty. Don't they have hobbies. Figures, he would be the one to find them.
"What's going on? Who is there?" Sherlock's voice was strained but loud and forceful. He kept one hand in front of his face, and his other hand around Watson.
"It's me, Smitty. You two zip up your pants and try to look presentable. I'm going to radio the captain." He moved the light away from them and gave them a little privacy.
Joan stood up and started buttoning and zipping quickly so she could talk to Smitty before anyone else showed up.
Sherlock was one step ahead of her. He approached the hooded officer, "Smitty, Watson and I are rather private people..."
"You could have fooled me." Smitty was beginning think they were exhibitionists.
Joan chimed in, "What Sherlock's trying to say, to ask, is if we could keep this between us? How you found us?"
"I won't say nothing. It'll only get me in trouble I'm sure. But you two really need to be more discreet!" They shook their heads in agreement. "I mean I've seen more of you two than I saw of my tenth grade boyfriend. For cripes' sake, show a little restraint."
