Woohoo! We have a new Podfic up and it’s CONSULTING FOR CHRISTMAS, written and narrated by @ohlooktheresabee !
The Louvre Museum in Paris is planning to host the celebrated Winter Fabergé Egg for its winter exhibition - quite the feat as it has not been on public display since 2002. However there is a snag: whispers of a world-renowned master-thief with his eyes set on the valuable prize. The curator has asked the famous Sherlock Holmes to consult on security, but the detective needs a lot of convincing: he is after all a bit busy with trying to woo a certain clueless ex-army doctor…
At the same time, John is attempting to balance work, missing Rosie who is off on her gap year, a volunteer gig at a local London orphanage, and seething jealousy upon the arrival of an apparent old friend of Sherlock’s. Attempting to foil the heist of the century while remaining friendly and objective might just be a step too far…
A Christmas crime caper packed full of misdirection, miscommunication and mistletoe, set against the romantic backdrop of London and Paris in the winter. Thrown into all this, will our two idiots finally manage to see what has been right in front of them all along?

I originally wrote this fic as a response to the Johnlock advent prompt ‘opening gifts’ - as you can see, it kind of got away from me! Suddenly there was all this fun stuff going on - intrigue, misunderstandings, original characters, and of course our two favorite idiots-in-love doing their best to mess everything up. Sometimes I plan fics out in great detail, and other times the characters just take the reins and say, “Sit back, we got this.” This was definitely the latter, and the reins they grabbed just happened to be attached to Santa’s reindeer. I hope you enjoy listening and reading as much as I enjoyed writing and recording! Part 2 and 3 on the way soon.
