Author's summary: ... Sheeee doesn't really have one, so have her beginning notes! "IF I WERE WRITING the modern update of A Scandal in Bohemia, it would go like this. Clearly, the BBC version is not going to be like this at all, at all, and in a minute it will be badly jossed (moffated?). But hey, the trailers look AMAZING. *_* So Irene Adler is canonically a New Jersey con artist, a fact which has gotten more hilarious with each year that’s passed since Conan Doyle first wrote it, and that begs to be taken advantage of."

Reccer's comments:

Okay, so there are three things you need to know about me:

1) I love the hell outta Irene Adler
2) I ship her and her husband SO HARD in canon
3) I always approve of more long-suffering characters

So basically this fic mashed my "DO WANT" button unrelentingly by providing the modern update of a sassy and very much American Irene Adler who revels in being a con artist and is making out off-screen with her husband (who has no idea what he's gotten himself into but still loves her). Yeah, Sherlock and John are in this too (and I do so adore them), but they're going to have to step off to the star that is Irene Adler. Add in her narrating some of the story, fairly bouncing with glee over her own cleverness, and I couldn't memory this fic fast enough.

PS The only spoilers you'll find in this fic are already in the original story and/or are inadvertent since the episode hasn't even come out yet for us common people. Why isn't 2012 here yet?!
