Pairing: John/Lestrade pre-slash
Length: 27,000 this story, part of a 5-part universe
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: brief instance of off-screen domestic violence
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: "I have two sons," she said. "Ages five and twelve. They're very bright, and I don't say that as a doting mother. I say that as someone who's seen their IQ scores and discovered that the elder was writing essays for a number of university students at fifty pounds a paper."
Reccer's comments: This is an AU where John is a nanny for young Mycroft and Sherlock. No wait, don't walk away! I generally don't enjoy stories that involve children, but Mycroft and Sherlock are still wonderfully themselves in this universe that this AU really rings true. John gets to be a BAMF all over the place, and it's fascinating to see him relate to the enigmatic Mrs. Holmes. Seeing John become part of the family is heartwarming.
Also, Lestrade comes into the picture with some choice scenes of sexual tension. This universe has expanded to include not only the five stories in the series, but also Nanny!John's blog (Nothing Happens to Me) and Lestrade's blog (Interesting Murders Not Boring Stuff). Enjoy the lovely domestic life of these four.
