PRECIOUS LIKE RUBIES
by Soledad

Fandom: Miss Marple/Sherlock BBC crossover
Genre: Drama/Family
Rating: Teens

Disclaimer: “Sherlock” and all related characters belong to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The modern versions of them belong to the BBC, Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, may their muses never abandon them. Miss Marple belongs to Dame Agatha Christie. The “Animal Ark” characters belong to their respective authors. I only borrow settings and characters to have some fun. No copyright infringement intended and no money made.

Summary: Sherlock is dead and John needs a change of scenery. Will he get more than he bargained for?

Note: The very idea of this story is based on the fact that St Mary Mead’s resident GP, Dr. Haydock, used to have a partner named Dr Sandford. That almost sounds like Stamford who, of course, is a key “Sherlock” character, bringing John and Sherlock together in the first place. I thought I’d let Mike meddle a bit again and see what happens. To that end, I had to screw a bit with the Miss Marple timeline, planting the old lady in the Sherlock era. In everything else, I was following both canons as far as possible for this story to still work.
