Characters: John, Sherlock, Mrs Hudson, Lestrade
Rating: PG
Warnings/Triggers: very quick reference to a somewhat gruesome manner of death
Spoilers: none
Pairings: none
Word Count 1,464
Summary: John Watson's roommate is a Montreal snotface who hates Kraft Dinner and hockey. But that's okay; some things are better than hockey.
Author's notes: There's a community on tumblr called 'Let's Draw Sherlock!' which has challenges for artists every month. Recently, they did a challenge asking artists to draw Sherlock characters in a culture they (the artists) belonged to. I can't draw, but I had fun imagining what Sherlock and John would be up to if they were Canadian. And I can't draw, but I can write.
Some background: I picture John and Sherlock living in Toronto, John having probably been born and raised nearby. Sherlock would have grown-up in the more bohemian, allophone Montreal. I've given Mrs Hudson some of my mum's 'Fringlish' phrases, so I suppose she maybe grew up in the French-speaking part of Ontario, maybe near the border between provinces.
Much to my sadness, I couldn't get a proper usage of 'eh?' in here sounding natural.
( I am not a Montreal snotface! )
