Galvanizing

Title: A Study in Squawking
Fandom: BBC Sherlock
Length: 27K words
Rating: No onstage sex; implied offstage sex; none of it interspecies. Little to no onstage violence; implied offstage violence; reference to bad stuff that happened in the past. Occasional blasphemy and profanity. Would let my preteen read it if he were literate.
Summary: "Why do you want me to tell you my life story? Surely Mycroft has briefed you. I thought that therapists were supposed to help solve problems. This is my problem: John is gone. John has probably been kidnapped. John may be dead. Mycroft has imprisoned me here and will not let me search for him. How will telling you my life from the egg solve any of these problems?" The autobiography of Sherlock Holmes, intelligent macaw, as told (under duress) to a therapist.


Yep, this is that fic inspired by that dream I had a few months ago. Thanks to legionseagle for Brit-picking.
