I SAW. I SAW. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
AT LEAST IT IS SHERLOCK THOUGH, YES? SHERLOCK IS THE BEST.

SORRY VAL. I CAN'T STOP WITH THE CAPS. YOUR DEFAULT IS DIFFERENT. I THINK THE PLANET HAS STOPPED ITS ROTATION AROUND THE SUN.

ALSO...I WAS GOING TO BRING THIS UP IN YOUR ICON POST (WHEN I GET TO COMMENTING ON ITS FABULOUS-NESS), BUT YOU'RE READING FANFIC. DO YOU NEED RECS? I GOT RECS IF YOU NEED THEM. ALSO WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING (FANFIC-WISE)?

HAD TO SWITCH BACK. I'M DOOMED TO KEEP THIS ICON OF ALISHA AS MY DEFAULT TILL THE END OF TIME. IDK IT FEELS LIKE A FIXED POINT IN SPACE AND TIME. SO BE IT.

Okay. Okay. Awesome.

THIS TUMBLR is basically a rec goldmine. It isn't all John/Sherlock, but most of it is (because let's face it, most of fandom is pro John/Sherlock). They also have this lovely master list of good rec posts to go through once you finish up everything in their blog. Best resource or best resource?

Ones that I loved a lot:
I prefer to text.
Come and See
The Perils of Urban Warfare
A Little Competition (bonus!Mycroft)
Big Brother is Watching You (this one is total crack but oh so hilarious)
Measuring the Size of a Human Voice
Waking You Up
Horse and Carriage
Monster (warning: very dark, but WORTH EVERY SECOND)
Shadows on the Wall
A Silver Sixpence
They Tell Me Their Secrets (Will You Tell Me Yours Too)
The Staff of Baker Street High School
Synthetic (Blade Runner fusion; yes, you did read that correctly, Miss Val!)
EVERY SINGLE THING IN THE MAGICAL REALISM TAG. Especially I Have Been Searching For My Wings For Some Time. In fact, you absolutely need to read that one, no exceptions.

Also, it isn't John/Sherlock ( ( ... )

I LOVE YOU. WILL SPEND THE WHOLE AFTERNOON READING AND SQUEEING. THANK YOU.
Also, no need to mention A Little Competion because libraryofsol has been my Sherlock/John dealer from the verybeginning. Actually, her Thermodynamics series sherlocked me beyond repair.

I wasn't as keen on the Thermodynamics series as I was A Little Competition, but my taste is a little...stricter than some. For example, I hate Parallel which is practically a universal fandom favorite, and I didn't much care for that fic with the famous 'We'll live on crime scenes and starlight, same as we've always done' line that everyone and their mother was obsessed with. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut I didn't dislike Thermodynamics! I read the whole lot of them. :D

Never heard of Parallel or the other quote you mentioned! Actually, I've only read The Magic of Deduction by writingispurdy and libraryofsol's fics - and I also skipped a couple of them, like the John/Sherlock/Mycroft one because the idea of a Holmescest or whatever it might be called makes me laugh so hard I couldn't possibly read it without falling off of my chair.
Oh, and I also read Alone on the Water, but God that was some seriously depressing stuff.

Well, Parallel...is basically case fic (although, I found that the case came second and was rather boring to be honest) wherein John and Sherlock are on a university campus and meet two girls who are rather like themselves. CUE ROMANCE! It rather dragged on for me and there wasn't enough John or Sherlock. Everyone adores it though. You'll find it in the Tumblr if it strikes your fancy ( ... )

I might end up reading them, eventually. Once I'm done with your AWESOME list. I'm reading I Prefer To Text rn and it's truly delightful. <333

AND DON'T READ ALONE ON THE WATER FOR GOD'S SAKE. DON'T. IT'S A BLACK HOLE OF ANGST. DON'T.

Oh God, wings! That does ring a bell. I might have stumbled upon it, but I didn't read it. I really don't remember when or where, though.

ALSO. THE PROGRESS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES. A must read if there ever was one. Don't let the first person narrative turn you off. It was my main reason for putting off reading it for so long, but I totally regret that now because it is THE BEST.

I'mma keep looking for it for you and see if I can't find it somewhere. it's a true gem.

Why thank you! Now that I've bombarded you with fics, I'm off to bed! I hope you enjoy everything!
