I love outsider POV stories, and this was quite well done! I've always suspected that John Watson had a lot of suppressed anger, and we saw more evidence of it in series 3. I enjoyed how Hopkins' first experiences of Sherlock and John defy expectations: Sherlock is almost 'nice' to him, whereas his first sight of John is of a tiny rage machine :D

Thank you. It was interesting taking someone who had clearly heard about Sherlock and John, and yet could come with less expectation than most.

What an intriguing POV, MA. Very much in line with Hopkins in ACD canon, who is after all one of the more intelligent yarders. I also extremely liked Lestrade in your story, I just could hear Rupert Graves saying,

“Right everyone, back to work. This was an isolated incident, which will not be repeated,” in that gruff voice of his.

All in all a great take on the original.

Thank you!

Thank you very much. I'm delighted you liked both Hopkins and Lestrade.

I especially like the "professional" POV here, the way Hopkins assesses the situation as a disinterested observer primarily interested in the facts.

Thank you - I felt the original would repay looking at from the POV of an experienced outsider.
