Title: You Have 487 New Messages (Or, In Which Sherlock Holmes Starts a Grouptext)
Author: JenTheSweetie
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Length: 13,000 words
Rating: Teen
Verse: Sherlock BBC

Author's summary: MH: Please remove me from this thread.

Reccer's comments: This is such a delightful, funny little fic. I adore texting fics in general, and this one had me laughing out loud on several occasions. Most of the chapters are fairly short, and the whole thing is a quick read. If you want a break from angst and drama, either in fic or in real life, then curl up with a nice cup of tea (or glass of wine) and settle in to be entertained.

It takes place post-Series 4. The whole thing starts when Sherlock Holmes starts a grouptext, asking who took his skull. Mycroft repeatedly asks to be removed from the thread, to no avail (hence, the summary). Different topics come up, participants keep changing the name of the grouptext, borderline crack ensues - and eventual johnlock is revealed. Have fun!

Agreed! I followed this one as it was posting, and it was such a blast. (Also, I just went and reread the first chapter, and found myself chortling helplessly once again...)
