New story: Precious Like Rubies

[wiseheart]

Title: Precious Like Rubies
Author: Soledad

Fandom: Miss Marple/Sherlock BBC crossover, with a side dish of Animal Ark
Genre: Drama/Family
Rating: Teens, for now

Summary: Sherlock is dead and John needs a change of scenery. Will he get more than he bargained for?

Note: The very idea of this story is based on the fact that St Mary Mead’s resident GP, Dr. Haydock, used to have a partner named Dr Sandford. That almost sounds like Stamford who, of course, is a key “Sherlock” character, bringing John and Sherlock together in the first place. I thought I’d let Mike meddle a bit again and see what happens. To that end, I had to screw a bit with the Miss Marple timeline, planting the old lady in the Sherlock era. In everything else, I was following both canons as far as possible for this story to still work.

Main characters: Dr. John Watson, Miss Jane Marple, Mike Stamford, Dr Gerard Haydock (the local doc of St Mary Mead), Mary Morstan, Mycroft Holmes, Rev Leonard Clement, his wife Griselda, Mrs Hudson - the rest we'll see.

First chapter posted, linked to the story title. Enjoy!

I'm afraid I don't know what those things are - techno-wheenie, that's me. I use Microsoft Office and write everything in Word. But I can send you .txt-files, those are the easiest to handle. They won't have bold fonts and italics but that doesn't influence the grammar... or the total lack of it. *g*
