Pairing: John/Sherlock
Rating: Up to PG-13
This fic follows the burgeoning friendship and adventures of the young Hufflepuff John Watson and the loner Slytherin Sherlock Holmes across their 7 years in a post Harry Potter Hogwarts. The Potterverse serves as the frame for this story with Quidditch matches, trips to Hogsmeade, and several familiar Hogwarts professors peppered throughout the adventures of this unlikely pair of friends. (*Note* Snape doesn't even earn a mention in this entire story but neither does Dumbledore, the Malfoys, and any number of other familiar characters.) The student body of Hogwarts is home to a mix of original characters and familiar (and sometimes obscure) characters from the Sherlock Holmes stories and the BBC adaptation, including Sherlock's elder brother Mycroft, John's older sister Harry, and a small, somewhat forgettable student named Jim Moriarty.
The story depicts Hufflepuff house with loving affection and also takes the reader inside the very different Watson and Holmes households. Blood prejudice in the wizarding world is muted but makes an appearance for a small portion on the story. Those familiar with season 1 of the BBC Sherlock series and with the Sherlock Holmes books in particular will recognize running themes, dialog, and storylines that have been modified to reflect the norms and magic of the Potterverse.
At the center of the story, however, is the friendship/relationship between John and Sherlock, how this grows and is tested by their enemies. What starts rather inauspiciously during year 1 grows to a deep friendship and eventual romance in later years. The PG-13 rating reflects what is gently alluded to rather than shown. In addition to friendship, adventure, a bit of mystery, and a slow-building romance there is also a substantial amount of angst.
This is a wonderful gateway fic for Harry Potter fans curious about the BBC Sherlock series. And for those who are already familiar with the Potterverse and the Sherlock series, this is a tender and beautiful imagining of John and Sherlock as teenage wizards.

You really need a Lubricate Sherlock con next year, and I'll go *G*

Who says we aren't going to have a Sherlock meetup at Lubricus this year?!!!! There are quite a few concom members who are super into Sherlock/Watson.
