Rec: Whispers in the Corner (Sherlock/Harry Potter)
Story: Whispers in the Corner
Author: esama
Fandom: Sherlock
Genre: Crossover, Drama, Mystery, Romance
Pairing/Character: Harry/Mycroft, Sherlock/Watson
Summary: Everything started with a stumble - his new life in a new world as well as his surprisingly successful career as a medium.
Squeeing: I think everyone has writers they will cheerfully follow from fandom to fandom like a puppy on a leash. Esama is one of those writers for me. What I especially like about this fic is how the old trope of "Harry falls into a different world" is given a gritty, but not suicidal edge. The idea for what Harry ends up doing with the Resurrection Stone is great, and as always, Esama is a consummate storyteller. This whole universe is very vivid for me.
Excerpt: But it is hundred times better than some of the alternatives and even while his magic would make him exceptionally good and successful thief or a burglar, it is simply not within Harry to go down that road. Being a medium is rather ridiculous - and he is cheating every step of the way. Anyone could've done it with the Ring after all. But still. It's something.
