Verse: Sherlock BBC
Characters/Pairings: Greg Lestrade, Sally Donovan, DI Dimmock, DI Carter, DI Hopkins, Chief Superintendent, Philip Anderson, Mrs. Hudson, Policeman, Young Policeman, Sherlock Holmes, John Watson
Rating: Teen/TV-14/PG-13 (same as show)
Warnings: Visual triggers: Flashing lights. Depictions of police: Police acting in their capacity as law enforcement throughout the vid. Violence: Bloody nose, dead body (not a major character).
Summary: Sherlock Holmes is a brilliant detective, but he also picks and chooses. Not so the dedicated members of New Scotland Yard and other police forces: they are workin' for a livin'.
Notes: Thank you to my hard workin' beta who will be named later. Special shout-out to actor Eric Kofi Abrefa whose character was only called "Policeman" but is a standout in this vid. And in case you say, hey, haven't I seen that that Young Policeman before, he's Luke Newberry, who played the teen-zombie main character in BBC's In the Flesh.
Music: "Workin' for a Livin'," Phil Vassar with Huey Lewis, originally by Huey Lewis and the News

Verse: Sherlock BBC
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes & Sally Donovan, Greg Lestrade
Rating: Mature (for some crime scene related gore)
Warnings: None
Summary: "So it was all a game, then?" she asked. She could not look away from the television. Anger was starting to seep in, starting to push away that numb shock. "Play dead for two years and then—what? Shout surprise! and jump out of a cake?"

Note: A little Holmestice treat for write_out, who mentioned enjoying backstories and first meetings. I'd had this idea kicking around in my head about Sherlock and Sally's first meeting for quite a while, and you gave me the perfect excuse to write it down.

This fic is rated M because it includes a description of a fairly gory crime scene. It's all intended to read as sort of darkly humorous, but please do not read on if this disturbs you.
