    Summary

    An alternative first meeting for John Watson and Sherlock Holmes -- with conditions that are close to how it goes according to canon, but, well, not exactly.

    There is still Mike Stamford and Bart's and Mrs. Hudson and 221B, but Sherlock and John first meet when John is already in residence at Baker Street (at the bottom of the stairs, rather than at the top), courtesy of Mike and Mrs. H putting their heads together about how to coax two skittish recluses to venture forth and spark joy. Assistance lent by Mycroft Holmes, Molly Hooper, Greg Lestrade, Angelo, and Pendragon the Cat. Things may not always go quite smoothly, but over the course of a month, it's just a matter of degrees of fluff until John and Sherlock end up where they should be.
