Fic: Cassandra Syndrome I
Title: Cassandra Syndrome I
Author:fennishjournal
Rating: NC-17 (for canon-level violence)
Fandom: Sherlock BBC
Summary: This is a story about Sally Donovan and Sherlock Holmes. It's the story of why Sally Donovan, who is a conscientious and smart copper, behaves as she does around Sherlock Holmes (and no, the answer is not “because she is mean and hates him for no reason”.)
It is also a story about Sally and her believe in her own perception of reality. It is a story about manipulation, privilege, intuition and procedures. About trust and that interplay between the personal and the interpersonal that makes us human.
Spoilers: Seasons 1&2
Warning: canon-level violence (including sexual assault), references to racism and sexism
Words: 3799
Beta: This story has been a long time coming and it would never have seen the light of day without the enthusiastic and thoughtful beta-work of aderyn and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mazaher's wonderful feedback.
Thank you both so much!
A/N1:
This is the first chapter of 5. I think this time around I need the encouragement of feedback to get this story done which is why I'm breaking my rule of not posting WIPs. *crosses fingers*
A/N2:
I'm a white German woman who works as a psychologist writing about the experience of a woman of colour in the British police force. I'm sure there are mistakes I made and things I don't get and overlook. If I managed to do something offensive I would be honestly grateful if you could let me know. I promise I will apologise and try to correct my mistakes.
