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

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.

Rating: Teen & up

Length: 6,000 (this chapter), 10,000 (whole work)
Author's note: I owe so very very much to both “The Empty House” and “Casablanca”, it’s not even funny. It’s not really an AU so much, no more so than any other slash is. Inspired by this gif.

Summary: Noir. Two years after Sherlock’s fall, Greg Lestrade is doing all right as a private detective. Maybe he drinks a little too much, but he’s getting by. Until he shows up. John Watson is back on his doorstep, and he’s got a case Greg needs to solve before it’s too late...

Summary: "Tell me something, Sergeant," the short blond man had fumed at her, "If you were taken, who would you want looking for you?" And her eyes had betrayed her, for her eyes had immediately flicked to him. But he would never find her, he would never come looking for her. He was dead.

Summary: It's the fall of 2000, and to help him out after his military career has ended due to injury, John Watson’s sister Harriet gets him a job as US tour manager for rising star of the industrial scene and enfant terrible, Sherlock Holmes.

All John has to do is keep the money coming in and make sure his star doesn't screw things up. After the army, that should be easy, right?
