Their treatment of Doyle’s identity as a surprise/reveal may turn some readers off-which, fair enough-but as a trans reader myself, I loved being fooled into misinterpreting Doyle’s transness as a wolf/hound transformation (trans guys are werewolves don’t ask me to explain myself), and I loved that there was no real 'reason' for the reveal, it was for its own sake. As someone that was ultimately disappointed in BBC’s Sherlock, it was a pleasure to read a kinder, more developed version of these characters that didn’t sacrifice the thrill of deduction and a protagonist much smarter than his readers. a Victorian mystery remix the likes of which I haven’t seen since steampunk’s heyday. supernatural Sherlock fanfiction (wingfic, to be precise).the sooner you embrace this sincerely dorky premise, the sooner you can get to all the fun.
