For those who don’t know it, My Dearly Beloved Detective is a wonderfully goofy film (Scotland Yard constables performing song-and-dance routines in their pyjamas??) with a surprisingly melancholy heart. Shirley Holmes and her friend/assistant Jane Watson investigate a complicated case (set up by jealous Inspector Lester, who wants to take Shirley down for daring to be a better detective than him) that requires them to go undercover at a gentlemen’s club. Shirley pushes Jane into this disguise, and after they’re almost discovered, a painful scene ensues where Jane breaks down in tears, tells Shirley she’s demanding too much, and ultimately ends up accepting a marriage proposal from Robbie Summers, a man she’d previously turned down. This fic goes AU after that point!
