Fic Rec: Sherlock the Demon Hunter
Title: Sherlock the Demon Hunter
Author: LadyRa
Pairing: John/Sherlock & Castiel/Dean
Length: 37,380 words
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: None
Verse: Sherlock BBC and Supernatural
Author's summary: Sherlock is in Massachusetts with John who is attending a conference. Sherlock finds Dean Winchester digging a grave, and the game is on.
Reccer's comments: Another fun crossover with an edge. Sherlock encounters Dean Winchester in the midst of digging up a grave to perform a standard 'salt-n-burn.' He's confused and delighted and quickly forces his way into Dean's world, but doesn't have sense enough to trust the experts. The world of the supernatural (small "s") is a dream come true for Sherlock--a new puzzle, something to engage his restless mind, something not boring. But Sherlock has to learn everything the hard way. He's a skeptic, and he won't believe anything until he's eliminated all the other possibilities. That may work in criminal or scientific investigations, but it doesn't work in Dean's universe. Sherlock's faith in his own intellect may well be his downfall. And he won't be the only one who suffers.
This is a serious fic but it has some great comedic moments. As with most crossovers, the fun of this fic is seeing the characters from different universes clash. Sherlock Holmes and Dean Winchester are oil and water. Dean can't comprehend why John--a solid, trustworthy bloke, someone you can rely on in a fight with a monster--is hanging around a dangerous twit like Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock can't understand how Dean can seriously believe in souls or that a Demon can take over your body or that Castiel is an Angel--such utter nonsense! And yet so very intriguing. Sherlock can't resist the siren call of the unknown. Mycroft, of course, already knows everything.
Excerpt:
IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO COME HOME. I CAN SEND A PLANE. MH
IF I LEFT HERE, I WOULD ONLY HUNT DEMONS THERE. I NEED FURTHER INSTRUCTION. SH
Sherlock was certain Mycroft would probably be willing to provide tutors in the demon hunting field if Sherlock went home, but he wanted to learn this on his own, not in any way that made him beholden to his brother.
WHAT TYPES OF DEMONS EXIST IN LONDON? AND WHY HAVE I NEVER COME ACROSS THEM? SH
VAMPIRES FOR THE MOST PART. AND I SUSPECT THEY BELIEVE YOU ARE ONE OF THEM. MH
Very funny. Sherlock lay back down on the couch with his latest tome and began to read.
