Luce Watson is an aspiring novelist who had already been rejected by five publishing houses due to the lack of depth in her written stories. One day, after moving in to a new apartment, she met Sherlock Holmes, who she deemed as someone that could bring sparks to her narratives as he was the most interesting person she ever met, the world's only consulting detective.
However, she soon found out that this brilliant young man had given up his detective career to become someone exceptionally ordinary.
Based on the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; borrowed some details from the canon and from BBC Sherlock.
The story is set in modern world but in a fictional city instead of London, hence the alterations.

John Watson. Here you'll find a collection of one shots and imagines for the characters from the mind of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Main focus will be on Sherlock, John, Mycroft, Greg Lestrade, and of course the consulting criminal himself, James Moriarty.
