Okay... So because I've spent quite a lot of time today stalking reading
atlinmerrick 's gorgeous Sherlock fanfiction, and then I found that
inclination_fic dedicated her latest fic to me [for (I quote) "being lovely, and betaing my work seemingly endlessly, without so much as a complaint. <3 Also because she loves Sherlock/John possibly more than me, and that's rather impressive. ^__________^" - which makes me feel all fluffy and warm inside! XD ], I'm going to recommend some AWESOME fanfiction I've read recently!
Firstly,
inclination_fic 's
We All Float On (R) which portrays a John who is just as messed up and falling apart as Sherlock is: He can no longer tell if Sherlock is dragging him in a downwards spiral, or whether he was already spiralling downwards and just brought Sherlock along for the ride. - this line sums up the whole theme of the story for me!
So,
atlinmerrick , where do I start?!
Here is a list of all her Sherlock fic - I've read them all except The Catalyst and they are awesome - I can't pick a favourite! Perhaps for a taster, because it's only(!) 4 chapters, read
Nail Me - which involves an 'infinitely charming characteristic of Benedict Cumberbatch' and a lot of nail varnish. Rated NC-17.
Another that I love is
All That Glitters (NC-17) - absolutely hilarious, perfect Sherlock characterisation, awesome narrating, and all about how John and Sherlock got together. (DON'T ask Sherlock, whatever you do!) And after you've read that you're going to want to read
Skullduggery because, well... you'll see... =D
AND, proving her awesomeness, atlinmerrick has shown that in the Sherlock fandom you really can write anything with
'A fluffy little necrophilia fic' And yes, it is actually fluffy! And hilarious! AND rated PG!
Also on the subject of AWESOME fics, I recommend
wordstrings'
The Paradox Series which is completely awesome and also has accompanying icons
here and
here (along with some amusing Sherlock kinkmeme icons!) made by the absolutely fabulous
sinkandrise! XD
I am just loving the awesomeness of these people and their fic and the entire amazing Sherlock fandom.
