Fic: Backup's Coming

[randomly_rusted]

Summary: Sally Donovan is a copper.  She's part of Lestrade's team, and no one messes with his people.

Warning: strong language

This is great - it's nice to actually feel sorry for Donovan, rather than just thinking she's a bitch. And yay for Lestrade coming to the rescue in his beautifully understated way!

Glad you like it! Writing Lestrade as a competent BAMF is way too much fun.

I love this look into Sally's head, because I'm sure she's a good cop.
One question though: Is "Mike" Anderson? That isn't quite clear...

[randomly_rusted]

Yes, Mike Anderson. I think someone else used that first name and I went with it.

Couldn't see anywhere to put the last name, so hoped people worked it out!

The licence given to Sherlock because he's a "genius" annoys me. Doesn't happen like that in real life :) I'm getting more and more fond of the minor characters, and I think Moffat and Gatiss dropped the ball badly with Sally. Chance for a strong competent woman, and then they made her an incompetent bitch.

Lestrade is "the best of the professionals" and his team reflects that, in my eyes at least.

So this fandom needs more Competent Coppers.

Really enjoyed this! LOVED Lestrade giving it to the Skinhead creep. Cheers!
