The Baker Street Record
A/N: Presenting: an epic Sherlock Holmes/House of Leaves crossover. This was written for Part III of the Sherlock Holmes kinkmeme over at sherlockkink. It was a long and wonderfully arduous process and certainly the most rigorous exercise in dual pastiche (not to mention HTML) that I've ever engaged in. The original prompt was made by buriedbooks in Part II, then reposted in Part III. I supported it anonymously Part II, saw the repost and wrestled with it for a couple minutes before deciding that yes, I very much had to do it, schoolwork be damned. And now, finally, I'm reposting the whole fill here, facetiously referred to as the Second Edition (replete with grammatical corrections, some additional or revised segments, and reduced errors in formatting-HTML and anon do not mix). The original version may be found here.
Because of its nature-House of Leaves being the postmodern novel, this being the postmodern comment thread fic-the entire story is posted in segments in the comments. It looks daunting, and it is, but I think you'll find it readable enough. Feedback is very welcome, though I ask that you refrain from posting any comments within the story itself-just reply to the whole post.
This is rated R for fucked up themes and also some fairly explicit sexual content. Please refer to the Index for a semi-complete list of sources stolen from, and consider that my disclaimer to end all disclaimers. And, if you can, enjoy.
