Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Summary: Fusion with
Nativity! (2009 movie starring Martin Freeman). Sherlock is a primary school teacher and John is assigned to be his classroom assistant. Together, they are charged with putting on the school's Nativity play. What could possibly go wrong?
Warnings: None
Disclaimer: This is a transformative work inspired by the BBC television series
Sherlock, created by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, and the 2009 movie
Nativity! from Mirrorball Films. All song lyrics are from
Nativity!Notes: You don't need to have seen
Nativity! in order to understand (and hopefully enjoy) this. If you have seen
Nativity!, the role played by Martin Freeman (Paul Maddens) in the movie is filled by Sherlock here, and John is in the role played by Marc Wootton (Dominic Poppy), so you may want to take a few moments to adjust your set before beginning. I have generally followed the plot of the movie, but obviously some additions and adjustments were necessary, as the movie was not a romance between these two characters at all. And pretty much the whole point of writing this was to get John and Sherlock together. So, it's like an AU fusion. ;)
