Title: The Pull of One Magnet to Another

Author: ellie_hell

Canon: Sherlock BBC

Pairing: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 46,641

Summary: Mummy has arranged Mycroft’s marriage with an ex-army doctor. However, John meets Sherlock first, and sparks fly.

Recommendation: A little suspension of disbelief is required to get past the ‘arranged marriage’ thing, but don’t let that stop you because what follows is a wonderful ‘getting to know you’ between John and Sherlock that though in keeping does not simply follow canon. John is BAMF! and Sherlock is so smitten in his own Sherlockian way, it’s beautiful. And the end is pleasing all around, even if Mummy Holmes takes too much credit.
