Hi All! I'm looking for a Sherlock fic that I found some months ago, and would like to read again but cannot find. It was not slash(!!)amazingly. It was based on the books, not the BBC Sherlock. John was a woman who passed as a man, going to medical school and being a doctor in the Army, and was found out when he was wounded. He was kicked out of the service without being prosecuted, as long as he promised never to live as a man again. He promised but of course resumed passing on returning home. In this story he had been with Sherlock apparently several years, Sherlock had no idea of his true sex, and, importantly, John was not in love and had no romantic feelings for Sherlock, but I think loved him as a friend. John was found out by Sherlock after being wounded (stabbed in the belly) and Sherlock removed clothes to render first aid. It was a very good fic and had a lot of interesting details about passing as a man at that time.

Thanks!
