This short story is a Green Brothers (John and Hank of vlogbrothers, music and books such as *The Fault in Our Stars* fame) and Sherlock Holmes fanfiction written by Maureen exclusively for the Harry Potter Alliance's 2013 Equality FTW fundraiser campaign.
If you don't know who Hank, John, or Katherine are I would definitely not recommend this. But, if you DO know those people from the internet, this is pretty hysterical. Generally, this is a John Green/Sherlock fan-fiction, complete with Doritos.
Maureen Johnson might be one of my favorite short story/tumblr post writers. It is amazing how she can make me almost cry laughing any time she brings out the snark. Her imagination is so wild and just....
Either you get it, or you don't is what I'm saying, and I got it. Loved it!! 20 pages of magic.
I’m going to be honest, I didn’t expect my second entry of the year to be for a short story-fanfic written about John Green, Benedict Cumberbatch, Doritos, and an inflatable submarine...but I’m not really mad about it or anything, because this was hilarious. Maureen really captured everyone’s voice in this, even Hot-tub Hank’s, who particularly made me giggle in this nonsensical ride. This really does feel like a product of its time, though! 2014 really was part of this bizarre golden age (if we can really call it that) of online fandom and the growth of the internet as we know it, so who better to reflect that then Sherlock and John (...Green).
Read this if you're looking for a total crack fic about Benedict Cumberbatch and John Green. That was written by a (great) published author for a good cause. And which also includes a self insert. And many other hilarious elements.
This story was a ridiculously fun ride from start to finish. I wholeheartedly recommend reading this when you're feeling a bit down (it's on Wattpad, FYI).
