December Daily: story for someone else to write

cathalin asks: What story do you most wish someone would write, that for some reason you aren't writing/won't write (original or fannish)? Who would it be about, and what would happen? (And if you can say, why would it be something someone else and not you would write?) Why would you like such a story? What tropes or ideas or etc. would it explore that you wish you could find more of?

I would really like someone else to write the definitive BBC Sherlock "taking account of Mary Morstan" story.

I would like it long and plotty, with canon-typical adventure. I would like it mostly about establishing a relationship of some sort between Mary and Sherlock, since the other two sides of that triangle are well established. I would like the story to have as many surprises about Mary as the canon did.

I would accept a wide range of resolutions, from Mary dead the way she is in book canon to happy settled threesome, but what I want is fifteen thousand words on how they got there, wherever there may be.

And I feel like a real wimp for saying this, but I tried to write it, and last summer's absolutely palpable stew of Mary-hate and Moffatt-hate just made the whole idea of wading into it feel icky.
