All good things come to an end...
Sadly, so does one of my favourite Sherlock fan fic series - the John/Sarah/Sherlock epic by saathi1013. I recced the first two chapters in my John/Sarah/Sherlock fics rec post just before Christmas, but since then she has posted more chapters - and today, the final one. *sniff* So for those one or two on my flist who might be interested, here is the whole series (see chapter links for full details and warnings).
The Lorem Ipsum series by saathi1013
Surveilled
(NC-17, Sarah/John, Sarah/John/Sherlock)
Sarah struggles with dating John, while Sherlock... is distracting. He watches them while they have sex. She catches him. OT3 porn ensues. IT WAS FOR A KINKMEME.
Problems and Solutions, or...
(R, varying permutations of Sarah/John/Sherlock)
How Sarah manages dating John with Sherlock's occassionally (but not always) infuriating involvement.
Bohemian Like You
(NC-17, varying permutations of Sarah/John/Sherlock, Sarah/OFC (kinda sorta))
I repeat, I have badly mangled A Scandal In Bohemia for my own amusement. See, there's a sex tape threatening an upcoming Royal Wedding...
City Sirens, Violins
(R, varying permutations of Sarah/John/Sherlock)
Sherlock's POV of the relationship, plus a teensy bit of plot.
The Trick is to Keep Breathing
(R, varying permutations of Sarah/John/Sherlock)
Wherein things get Difficult, and the Metaplot creeps in.
Grace to the Strong
(NC-17, varying permutations of Sarah/John/Sherlock, mention of Molly/'Anthea')
Compromises are Made, as are Plans; Sherlock gets under Sarah's Skin on a Permanent Basis; Sarah gets Sherlock to say 'I Do;' Chess Analogies are Discarded as Cliché and Irrelevant Besides; and a Choice is Offered.
Lorem Ipsum
(R, varying permutations of Sarah/John/Sherlock, mention of Molly/'Anthea')
Sarah, in Moriarty's clutches; John and Sherlock, on the hunt. It's not pleasant for anyone.
One Day Like This
(NC-17, varying permutations of Sarah/John/Sherlock, mention of Molly/'Anthea', hints of Mycroft/Lestrade)
In which someone dies and their funeral is held; Sarah acquires coping mechanisms; a wedding is held with attendant surprises; and there is a lot of sex.
So sad to see this series end... and there is one scene in the final chapter that just about had my ovaries explode and REALLY makes me want to get a glimpse into our threesome's future. But I guess I'll just have to imagine it myself. :) Seriously though, it's a wonderful ending to an exceptional series. I just want to squish the three of them, and squish them, and squish them, and never let go! They are three very distinct, different characters, who each relate to each other differently, and they create such a wonderful whole. Their relationship feels so real - it's not perfect, and they have issues, but they make it work. I am utterly in awe of saathi1013's writing. Oh, and there should eventually be a PDF of the fic including the gorgeous art that mariemjs is creating for the series ( check out the three first ones here - there will eventually be one per chapter)! I can not wait!!! ♥♥♥
