Other: Set in a modern AU-verse where both Holmes and Watson are women who started their partnership in college. The time frame on this is post-Reichenbach, after Professor Moriarty got Shirley expelled.

Excerpt: Now she went to the store alone. She was in and out in twenty minutes tops, her list pre-organized carefully by aisle, and no surprises lurked in the bottom of her cart, no e-cig cartridges or weird fruits or trashy tabloids.

Excerpt: Jane had heard all of Shirley's rants on the subject before. She thought that Shirley was exaggerating a little. A lot, really. Shirley had never been in the military. She had no idea what it was like, so she was making up ridiculous theories.

"You need a reason that makes sense," Jane told her, and stormed out of the house.
