An Unknown Error Has Occurred by @hogwartswitch

Stay-at-home dad Greg Lestrade e-mails his wife to bring home some milk. Thanks to a typo, CEO Mycroft Holmes receives the e-mail instead.

But, of course, it doesn't end there.

Join us for a chat about this lovely fic on Sunday 12 April, 19.00 (UK time).

Happy reading!

This fic is charming. In which Mycroft is a CEO, John and Sherlock are so married it’s sickening (with a brood of kids to boot), and Lestrade is an ex-copper and a stay-at-home dad --- all told by way of texts, emails, scrawled notes, and the sort. Epistolary fic at its finest.

A sample:

To: [All] From: [email protected] Subject: My nephew

First of all, thank you for the patience extended to the disruption of your workday. I do appreciate the effort that was made.

Secondly, I'd like to apologise to the entire second floor. I'm not sure where my nephew got his hands on a lighter, but I don't think he knew he was triggering the sprinkler system with his little joke.

Thirdly, if there are any damages or losses from today's visit, please submit paper work to my assistant, Anthea Parker, and she will take care of reimbursement.

Fourthly, the fifth floor breakroom will be off limits for the foreseeable future until all damage can be repaired and a new microwave is purchased. I apologise for the inconvenience.

And finally, I assure everyone on the third floor that a new photocopier will be in place by Monday.

Mycroft Holmes CEO, Brightstreet Corporation

Discharged from the United States Army after being shot in the shoulder, Captain John Watson finds himself on a train Westward to Big Sky Montana country in the late 1800s. He settles in Lockwood, a small Western community in need of a Sheriff. There he meets schoolteacher Sherlock Holmes, who makes him question the very essence of who he is. Along the way, he also faces the conflicts of life in the old West.

Rec: I found Sherlock pretty OOC in this to be honest, but this is otherwise a solid Western AU with a nice slow burn relationship, a case appropriate to the setting, and a surprising feel-good ending.
