alicambs | The Skeleton Winter by branwyn

The Skeleton Winter by branwyn Joanna knows that enlisting as the only recruit in Sherlock's private army isn't going to make her less damaged. But Sherlock puts her damage to good use. Joanna thinks that is by far the best thing that could have happened to her. It may, in fact, be the only thing that could have saved her. A genderswap AU casefic loosely based on AC Doyle's "The Dancing Men". A very well done and fascinating story. Joanne is a wonderfully complex person, as fascinating as canon John but different because she's a woman in what is still essentially a 'man's world'. Her relationship with Sherlock is beautifully depicted as is her friendship with Lestrade. Well worth a read.
