Just re read this...and wanted to say that this chapter particularly caught my eye the first time round...it just fits the characters perfectly:-)

The Case of the Baker Street Flat Mate is a fabulous fanfic based on Doyle’s original Sherlock Holmes stories. Told in first-person from Inspector Lestrade’s perspective, it chronicles his observations of Dr. Watson from their first meeting up to just past Reichenbach. The stories start out more, well, detective-like, observing Watson’s relationship with Holmes, his skills both as a physician and as a soldier, that sort of thing. But there’s a growing friendship between Lestrade and Watson that shines through as the stories go along that’s nice. The stories find a good balance of humor and adventure, managing to stay fairly lighthearted in all but the most tragic sections. I enjoyed the way this fanfic is told as a string of short, disconnected stories–almost vignettes, really–as opposed to a fully integrated plotline. This way of telling the story works well to show us a gradually developing relationship over time. And the short chapters make the story convenient to read in bits as time allows (although I must confess, I devoured the entire 58 chapters in just a few days). Definitely recommended.

This is a marvellous story! I hardly see enough stories dealing with the friendship between Watson and Lestrade, and this is certainly a wonderful one. I have a new fondness for Lestrade after reading this, as well. Very well-written, and a great read! Definitely going on my favourites list. :)

Incredible. FLAWLESS!

You have done a tremendous job. I loved this story! Lestrade and Watson really are incredible- a shame how they are all too often depicted as idiots.

Wonderful job! Keep writing!

This is well done. Is there any possibility you will be continuing it? It ends in the middle of things... and on a sour note too. It would be good to see it continue, or at least wrapped up somehow.

...That was one HELL of a depressing end honey. This was quite an enjoyable read. Well done

Love,
Merry

What I find amazing, besides the absolute hilarity of Holmes conducting his 'experiment' and Watson's reaction (or rather LACK of), is that Gregson and Lestrade aren't doing ANYTHING to stop it! ! They've just been standing there-one longer than the other-and WATCHING them! ! ! !

I wish I knew Watson's and Holmes' thoughts while this is going on...

Well, it was interesting to read, and I'm glad I found it. Good job with it, I really had fun, especially when Lestrade was convinced that Holmes and Watson would strangle each other shortly. Nice one.

Hahahaha! This is so much more amusing than him "killing" the dog.

This story is written very well! :)
Thank you and keep up the good work!

I don't care that most of this was unplanned development between characters. All that matters is that this was an insanely wonderful story put together over various scenes.

Yes, it is a good enough place to stop, I suppose; except for the fact that it was so wonderfully well-written that I find myself helplessly wanting to beg for more.

*sigh* I guess this means I'll just have to go and like read more of your stuff. Every next one I click on brings me closer to the end of your list. Is it wrong that I don't want it to end either?

can't wait to read more.

hahahahaha! this has got to be the funniest thing i have read in a long time!

Does this story have to be over? I was really enjoying it, and I hoped that there might be more to come.

I absolutely love the last few paragraphs in this chapter (Ch 40). That they feel the need to come to each other's rescue, and everyone at the Yard knowing this but the rookie...3
