Title: Short Message Service

Author: solrosan

Fandom: Sherlock

Rating: overall, probably PG-13, though a couple of chapters have semi-explicit innuendo

Pairing: none, really. Jokes about Sherlock/John, John/“Anthea,”, Sherlock/“Anthea,” Mycroft/“Anthea, and Mycroft/Lestrade but no one actually gets together

Warnings: spoilers up to Reichenbach, some semi-explicit innuendo,

Other notes: WIP(?), although each chapter is pretty self-contained; episode based, texting, friendship, character study, vignettes

Length: 32k+

Summary: Sherlock  has a secret friend (since long before he met John) who also prefers to text.

For a story primarily told through text messages, this occupied me for a good long while. I call this a WIP, since the last chapter I read was updated last month, but each scene is self-contained. Some are a bit more plot-driven, like many of the episode-based chapters, but most of them are these sweet little vignettes between Sherlock and not-Anthea. It’s friends bantering and teasing and getting angry at each other and it’s just–pleasant.
