Synopsis

Sherlock Holmes was at a loss for words when his roommate of three years found the person she loved, got married, and moved out.

The newlywed Mrs. Watson kindly recommended a new roommate to him. Under pressure from the rent, he agreed to give it a try. The woman moved in without hesitation.

She had eyes as clear as a lake and as cold as ice.

She brought more books than household belongings.

She kept to herself.

Her surname was the name of a bird.

She was a woman of few words.

She had a terrible reputation in London.

Most importantly, in a manner of speaking, she was in the same line of work as him.

Holmes: "...Is it too late to refuse?"

"Considering your reputation as a gentleman, you would be better off accepting reality, Mr. Holmes. Though..."

Mrs. Hudson: "Um, sharing a place with a man would hurt her reputation on the marriage market, wouldn't it?"

"About that, um... A fortune-teller once told me I could only meet someone who was very annoying and yet loved by everyone."

So, no one at all!

"...Though I also have a vague feeling this arrangement will end in disaster."

This is a complete rewrite of "The Legend of the Nightingale" and has no connection to the previous story. Updates have no fixed schedule. I'll write whatever comes to mind, purely to bring my imagination to life.

Holmes's characterization is mainly based on the Basil Rathbone and Peter Cushing versions. It's fine if you haven't seen them, but note that these characters differ from the originals and other popular screen adaptations.

Theme: How an unconventional woman can live a free life

Sherlock Holmes as portrayed in the original stories and an original female lead. Check the reviews to see whether there's a romance. It's probably mostly BG, but a small portion has no pairing.

I first read "The Legend of the Nightingale" by Da Da a year ago, and I was extremely impressed 😭. It is the best fan fiction in my opinion! Regardless of the creative narrative techniques, the multi-faceted portrayal of the characters, and the clear and elegant writing style from beginning to end, they all stand out from the crowd. After reading it, it feels like a big dream, touching people's emotions~~[Rose] After so many years, I am so lucky to be able to Reading Dada's new work again, I was pleasantly surprised, and kind memories came to my heart, as if I had returned to the nights dominated by words in the past... Thank you, Daddy, this is really the best gift in the new year~~(*? I`*)???💪

Nightingale was one of the few people in previous eras who had sympathy for the situation of women. I originally wanted to say that I hope Nightingale doesn't need Holmes' help in every case, but I also feel like I'm being too harsh on the female protagonist. The female protagonist can also accept help from others calmly. Hope Nightingale is better.

Well, if I don't fight back in time, I feel like I'm going to die. I guess it's just self-defense (guess)
