A Young Sherlock and John Fic Rec
Title:Adventures in Adolescence
Author: dragons_muse
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Rating: PG-13ish
I am breathless with love for this AU adolescent Sherlock and John fic which is based on the premise that the two meet as teenagers while still in school and grow to become friends and then more all the while exploring a heart-breaking mystery in John's family.
The premise is what caught my eye, but I was drawn in by their teenage selves in a way that I didn't expect. Their respective family dynamics and histories was fascinating and so painful - especially Sherlock's. I think what I loved most were the little details John noticed about Sherlock - the connection he made between some of his behaviors around his sister Harry and what he observes when he visits the Holmes household.
What begins as a friendship between boys with damaged home lives grows into something deeper. The way the author handles the intimacy between the two with delicacy and indirectness (hence the PG-13 rating as opposed to a more explicit one) is beautiful and believable and still satisfying.
