It's such a breath of fresh air this go-around! I mean, I'm generally a critical fan and like talking and thinking things through, and I'm not going to complain about all that. But all the fic here is so uncomplicated, so joyful, so much of why people love the Baker Street Boys. And it's as much Ritchie and Doyle as it is BBC. (And Elementary, too, though I don't really know enough to really get into those personally, I'm afraid.

But so far:

Knit One, Purl Too: BBC meets "The Red-headed League," with a very clever Molly as Jabez Wilson
Incidents with Dogs, Curious and Otherwise: BBC parentlock + eventual JOhnlock. And so many dogs. And so much delightful cutenesss. This one has me smiling just thinking about it.
Two Shoes for a Hat: Ritchie-verse, first meeting and quite possibly the most in-character thing I've ever read there. And Stamford is lovely! And the bit with Gladstone. Really, just delightful.

That's without having read "The Magnificent Division (Mystrade meets Cabin Pressure), which I frankly can't wait to get home and dive into tonight. Looks awesome!

I haven't read the others yet, but thank you for sharing "Knit one, Purl Too"! It was a delightful read.

I do have one question though, which you will hopefully be able to answer since I suspect it has something to do with the original stories... what's the significance of the Norse runes? (I hope that's not spoilery!)
