Fic Rec: Blink Blue
Title: Blink Blue
Author: aderyn
Pairing: Irene/Molly
Length: 221
Rating: Teen
Warnings: none
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary:
She sits up on the slab, the woman Sherlock knew from not her face.
Blinks blue at Molly, winks.
Reccer's comments: 221Bs as stunning prose poetry: sharp attention to rhythm, syntax, and imagery that gives more than it takes.
Such is the talent in this fandom that more than just a wide range of genres and tropes are covered. Many writing styles also find welcome home here, from powerfully concrete prose to ambiguous works of poetry that resist easy readings. What I admire most about this piece is that it is erotic as hell as well as painful and that both qualities are established with sparse, vivid prose.
As in some of Aderyn's other post-Reichenbach works the dead and the living haunt the bereaved; the healing process requires ghosts on its fog-patched paths. Three shades appear before Molly in this ficlet, but it is Irene who both recognizes and adds to Molly's strength. And yet: although Molly is united with Irene in the dream world, awake she seems as alone and as sorrowful as dream!Sherlock is.
