Sherlock Fic Recs!
Sherlock Fic Recs!
I could have taken more care with summaries/ ratings, but whatever, I am sure we can cope with it. I write it mainly for my own reference, anyway. Mostly (but not all) slash, and Sherlock/John or Sherlock-John focussed (sorry, I cannot get on board with the Lestrade thing) though I personally choose to read it in even when it isn't technically there, so.... squint. I've kept this list quite porn-lite (sorry?) but a few have snuck in.
I'll update this from time to time :)

The Seventeeth Step
http://www.liquidfic.net/katie.html
A selection of utterly stunning canon!fic, each set during various canonical stories, all H/W and quite heavy on the gorgeous, gorgeous flangst. A must for all H/W fans and highly, highly recommended. Ratings vary.
"The sun creeps through the galaxy, and the earth goes round the sun, and I go round John Watson in circles, and that is the thrice-cursed natural order of Life. I shall write up a monograph on the subject for you, if you like. Get away from me, for mercy's sake."
The Plan
http://blind-author.livejournal.com/2520.html#cutid1
John had a plan, and its name was Get Some Sex. And the capitals were most certainly necessary. Slash, mention of sex but nowt graphic. Very funny!
Let You Kiss Me
http://out-there.dreamwidth.org/1126836.html
Sherlock does the unimaginable for bizarre reasons, but behind it, there's always logic and curiosity. Sometimes, it just takes him a while to explain it to John. Slash, PG-ish.
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
Part 1: http://cheeky-vim.livejournal.com/34823.html#cutid1
Part 2: http://cheeky-vim.livejournal.com/35166.html#cutid1
John gets irritated when Sherlock starts leaving cryptic "To Do" lists all over the flat. Sherlock/John, about PG-13 so far I guess but WIP.
Sherlock Approves
http://unovis.dreamwidth.org/426766.html
WIP, pre-slash Sherlock/John so far - just a bit of domestic fluff, but the way the author goes about showing us how Sherlock processes the world is one of the most interesting takes I've read so far!
http://sadynax.livejournal.com
Fanart. All of Sadyna's H/W stuff is absolutely adorable - she deals with BBC!verse, movie!verse & Granada!verse, with dabblings in canon. Love love love, to the point that I obsessively check her LJ every other day.

A bit of lovely Enid Blyton-inspired fluff, Sherlock/John, PG
Optimism

Short but glorious vignette. John & Sherlock's drug addiction have a long history. Very poignant & gorgeous use of canon.
Memorandum
http://ukcalico.livejournal.com/308597.html
Wowzers. I've never read anything remotely John/Lestrade before, so that was new, but this is stunning and pulls a blinder.

The Goodge Street Gambit & the Controversial Non-Holmesian Principle
http://definewisdom.livejournal.com/36181.html
Sherlock/ I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue x-over. John & Lestrade play a game of Mornington Crescent; Sherlock tries to work out the rules.
I could have taken more care with summaries/ ratings, but whatever, I am sure we can cope with it. I write it mainly for my own reference, anyway. Mostly (but not all) slash, and Sherlock/John or Sherlock-John focussed (sorry, I cannot get on board with the Lestrade thing) though I personally choose to read it in even when it isn't technically there, so.... squint.

Mycroft keeps randomly kidnapping John for chats. Basically what it says on the tin!

Elementary
http://ebonystar.livejournal.com/253030.html#cutid1
Wowwww. This is so wonderfully... precise, I think. NC-17.
Summary: In which John and Sherlock retire to 221B Baker Street and John finds an earlier 'date' come back to the forefront of his mind; whiskey is drunk (courtesy of Mrs. Hudson) and Sherlock makes an entirely expected move - had John been anticipating it.
And You're the Prize
http://giddygeek.livejournal.com/246621.html#cutid1
Oh, PORN. Mycroft plays matchmaker using some, erm, unorthodox methods. Sherlock/John, NC-17.
London Calling
http://chaletian.livejournal.com/420594.html
Gen. Sherlock uses him as his own personal texting machine; John goes along with it when it's summoning serial killers, and even when it's sending pithy little comments to Lestrade's phone.
Five Times Sherlock Realised this was Different and One Time He Admitted it
http://starjenni.livejournal.com/11000.html
What it says on the tin, and the fluffiest piece of fluff I have ever seen. Gen, or pre-slash if you squint.
Getting the Message

A bit of J/S matchmaking from Mycroft, because we all love that!
Out of the Brighter Life
http://sherlockbbc-fic.livejournal.com/575.html?thread=1779519#t1779519
Ouch, ouch, ouch, my heart. I was sobbing after two paragraphs. Based on That Sketch from That Mitchell & Webb Look. Sherlock gets early onset Alzheimers. Gen.
The Seventeeth Step
http://www.liquidfic.net/katie.html
A selection of utterly stunning canon!fic, each set during various canonical stories, all H/W and quite heavy on the gorgeous, gorgeous flangst. A must for all H/W fans and highly, highly recommended. Ratings vary.
"The sun creeps through the galaxy, and the earth goes round the sun, and I go round John Watson in circles, and that is the thrice-cursed natural order of Life. I shall write up a monograph on the subject for you, if you like. Get away from me, for mercy's sake."
The Plan
http://blind-author.livejournal.com/2520.html#cutid1
John had a plan, and its name was Get Some Sex. And the capitals were most certainly necessary. Slash, mention of sex but nowt graphic. Very funny!
Let You Kiss Me
http://out-there.dreamwidth.org/1126836.html
Sherlock does the unimaginable for bizarre reasons, but behind it, there's always logic and curiosity. Sometimes, it just takes him a while to explain it to John. Slash, PG-ish.
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
Part 1: http://cheeky-vim.livejournal.com/34823.html#cutid1
Part 2: http://cheeky-vim.livejournal.com/35166.html#cutid1
John gets irritated when Sherlock starts leaving cryptic "To Do" lists all over the flat. Sherlock/John, about PG-13 so far I guess but WIP.
Sherlock Approves
http://unovis.dreamwidth.org/426766.html
WIP, pre-slash Sherlock/John so far - just a bit of domestic fluff, but the way the author goes about showing us how Sherlock processes the world is one of the most interesting takes I've read so far!

Fanart. All of Sadyna's H/W stuff is absolutely adorable - she deals with BBC!verse, movie!verse & Granada!verse, with dabblings in canon. Love love love, to the point that I obsessively check her LJ every other day.
Winter's Solace
http://pennies-4-eyes.livejournal.com/16620.html#cutid1
Fanart. H/C comic, stunningly detailed and just gorgeous to look at.
Dr Watson's Inner Monologue
http://www.excessant.com/HI/gallery/elina_katri/dwim.htm
Fanart (book!verse). A selection of comic strips with lots of lovely UST & flangst <3
The Adventure in the Smuggler's Cave
http://flawedamythyst.livejournal.com/377557.html
A bit of lovely Enid Blyton-inspired fluff, Sherlock/John, PG
Optimism
http://janeturenne.livejournal.com/62175.html#cutid1
Short but glorious vignette. John & Sherlock's drug addiction have a long history. Very poignant & gorgeous use of canon.
Memorandum
http://ukcalico.livejournal.com/308597.html
Wowzers. I've never read anything remotely John/Lestrade before, so that was new, but this is stunning and pulls a blinder.
House Rules
http://nishi-shinji.livejournal.com/48355.html?view=522467
Sherlock and John set out some house rules. Very funny & ridics hot. NC-17 :)
The Heart in the Whole
http://verityburns.livejournal.com/5447.html
Events after The Great Game leave Sherlock dependent on his best friend and colleague. Sherlock/John preslash I think, PG, warnings: TBI.
Entirely Covered in Your Invisible Name
http://wordstrings.livejournal.com/2090.html#cutid1
Sherlock/John, possessive and fucked up and gorgeous
The Goodge Street Gambit & the Controversial Non-Holmesian Principle
http://definewisdom.livejournal.com/36181.html
Sherlock/ I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue x-over. John & Lestrade play a game of Mornington Crescent; Sherlock tries to work out the rules.
