Summary: 'So,' said John, feeling out of his depth once again. 'An owl.' It was the same mild, politely curious tone of voice with which he had previously found himself uttering such things as: 'So -- three bags of frozen AB negative,' and 'So -- a selection of human ears.'
Goodness, John, with deductive prowess like that you'll soon be putting me in the shade,' Sherlock said tartly. 'Can't sneak anything past you, can we?'

This is delightful! A perfect meshing of both worlds. Wonderfully in character.

So... what do you think?

A lovely enmeshing of the two genres. Sherlock being used to a House Elf certainly explains his habits. :¬D

I would love to read the sequel, if it is ever written.

PS

I also love the hint of Sherlock being related to Daniel Douglas Home.

Probably won't be a sequel, I expect. It's the kind of thing that tends to be done as a one-shot, I think.

If you look there is a John encounter with Mycroft, who tries to persuade John to stay away.
