I am happy to ship Anthea with Sherlock or John or Mycroft or Lestrade or anyone :D and I'm sure whoever you end up shipping her with will turn out nicely!

About betaing - to be fair, I am American. I'll try to avoid obvious Americanisms as much as I can, but we'll see how that goes! If you don't mind, could you send me the doc(x) file? Less fiddly HTML coding and scrolling to do on my end :)

(I'll be happy to beta the second part of this, as well as any other future parts that you might write!)
