I picked up a pinch hit for [community profile] auexchange, a themed event for works set in alternate universes. This is its sixth year. This year about 130 works were posted in 100 fandoms.

I wrote about Columbo, the crime-solving antiques dealer.

This way to the fic:

Summary:
David thought of antique dealers as prim and pristine, but this proprietor was a grubby little man with an unruly mop of hair, a tie askew and half-undone, and a trenchcoat that hadn’t seen the inside of a dry-cleaner’s in far too long.
