GODDAMN FIC REC POST Y'ALL.
Sherlock Holmes.
A Study in Midnight. by sound_of_bells
Summary: In a world dominated by an alien monarchy, criminals Sherlock Holmes and John Watson work to take down the royal establishment while detective James Moriarty and his associate Sebastian Moran try to track them down. Also featuring by Irene Adler and Roderick Maclean, who did in fact exist. AU based on Neil Gaiman's phenomenal short story "A Study in Emerald."
Quite simply the best fic I have ever read. I'm perfectly serious. Abandon everythng you are reading and read this.
History, Repeating Itself by gyzym
Summary: This is a multi-chaptered story in which John Watson and Sherlock Holmes are American graduate students sharing an apartment.
Hilarious, USTy, insane and sexy as hell. Adored.
I have an AU love. Yes.
Chicago Lightning by postcardmystery
Summary: Sherlock Holmes written in the style of the master of hardboiled detective fiction, Raymond Chandler.
Noir AND AU? I die.
Call it What You Will by rat_chan
Summary: A significantly sexier/slashier version of Holmes' and Moriarty's final encounter in The Final Problem.
Pretty much save time and just read everything by rat_chan. It's intellgent, sexy and well researched fiction at it's best.
Perversions of Nature by rat_chan
Summary: After the close of the Blackwood affair, an anonymous tip leads Holmes to a supposed second laboratory of Reordan's (aka the ginger midget). Unfortunately, one of the experiments is still active.
DON'T YOU JUDGE ME UNTIL YOU READ IT.
Getting Up In The Morning flying_android
Summary: A long night leads to trouble getting up in the morning.
What I like about this fic, is that it ain't even direct porn. It's all just referenced but is so damn sexy!
PLACEHOLDER by Starlingthefool
Summary: Holmes and Watson, modern day AU. Hilarious piece where Holmes picks Watson apart by his choice of car.
MORE WHEN I FIND IT!
A Slight Case of Misunderstanding by taleya
Summary: Holmes, in his infinite emotional retardedness, mentions to Watson that he *knows* Watson is in love with him, in a way that makes Watson think Holmes is ridiculing him. I want hurt!Watson who can't believe Holmes would be so intentionally cruel to him. So things are kinda breezy at 221b for a short while, until Holmes clues in and is all WATSON, YOU IDIOT, I LOVE YOU TOO, JESUS CHRIST.
I just love this so bloody much!
Holmes speaks LOLCAT by taleya.
IZ DED.
Ochi Chornye (Dark Eyes)
Summary: Watson has come to the end of his rope in dealing with his annoying roommate, Sherlock Holmes. Thank goodness he has a pen pal to whom he can turn.
SHOP AROUND THE CORNER TAKE OFF!!!
Our Husband by cutebutpsycho99
Summary: Mary is killed and becomes a ghostly attachment to Holmes.
This is so hilarious and sweet!
Apologies by wave_of_sorrow
Everything Wave writes is hot but this one is one of my favourites because of the complexities of the their nature and the gorgeous writing.
Untitled by sparkle_free.
Summary: Watson's brother comes to stay. Holmes approves. Watson doesn't.
I'm kind of in love with everything sparkle_free does.
PLACEHOLDER by sparkle_free
Summary: Holmes loses Watson to Mary but luckily Clarkey is there to pick up the pieces.
Winter in London by w_a_i_d
Summary: Watson tries to live with the memory of a terrible bargain in secrecy. "The strange detached attention in that slack face was on me again. He asked, “What would you do to stop me?”
This is another one of my complete favourites of the meme. It's perfectly written, utterly believeable and you just become so immersed in the story that you never want it to end.

The Contract by Anon.
Summary: In an AU Victorian society, the youngest male in prominent families must be bonded off to an older man of the same or higher status. Sherlock's father has died but in his will he had deigned Moriarity to be his youngest's bondmate. As the elder Holmes, Mycroft has to carry out his fathers' wishes but he sees that Sherlock is in love with the lowly country doctor John Watson and vice versa.
A Matched Set by dire_redux
Summary: 1940's AU. Holmes is a famous and difficult actor and Watson his director. Murder, intrigue, sleaze and Cary fucking Grant in one epic fic.
I'm so wildly in love with this that it is unreal.
OKAY! SO THERE'S MORE TO ADD! I NEED TO FIND THE ONES I PLACEHOLDED. IF YOU HAVE PLEASE TELL ME! I need to add a bunch of crack, too, so will probably update this. Feel free to rec me some in the comments. AU EARNS YOU CAKES.
