FIC: Routine Maintenance (BBC Sherlock, Mycroft/fem!Sherlock, NC-17)

[daasgrrl]

I still remember that time I attempted to write fluffy Sherlock/John and ended up with a serialkillerAU!vid. Recently I've been struggling with something that's essentially gen and contains no smut, no kink, and barely any romance. My brain rebelled and decided this was a much better idea. I'm not sure I want to know what that says.

Title: Routine

LOL, no, the gen thing was/is a completely different fic which was just too much for my brain to handle, clearly. What is this 'plot' thing I've heard people speak of? I'm so jealous of people like you who can juggle both!

Thanks so much for the supportive words - it's surprisingly nerve-wracking writing het. I think Mycroft was quite pleased, though *g*

I think genderswap Holmescest would be the way to go if I did decide to write it.

Mmm... I couldn't agree more! I do hope you get there ;)

"...and then her entire body shudders as the orgasm sweeps through her, better than any artificial rush. She cries out in short sobbing gasps and clings to the solidity of Mycroft’s back, as though terrified of losing herself in the static."

I've never read gender-swap before, and I came to this with some trepidation, but it was you so I thought I'd give it a go - what a most delightful introduction! It worked perfectly well, giving "her" all "Sherlock's" characteristics and yet being perfectly feminine, too.

Oh I can quite see why Mycroft would be besotted.

Brilliant!

[daasgrrl]

That's very flattering, I appreciate you giving it a try - I've never *written* genderswap before, so hah, inexperience all 'round ;)

I'm so glad it worked for you, and thanks for the comment! I think Sherlock ended up marginally less stubborn, or less competitive this way, which makes Mycroft's life just that little bit easier. Possibly *g*

(Also, mmm, icon.)

Whoa. I expected to send this to my kindle, saw that it wasn't too long, idly started reading... and before too long was swept into this insane whirlwind of a story and just clinging on, going 'whoa wow what?'

Amazing. This Sherlock is amazing. The post-sex thinky thoughts are *amazing*. Plus hot. It's really hot. Sherlock in high heels and Mycroft thrusting into her. Goddamn, woman.

[daasgrrl]

I don't even know why this seemed like a good idea, but so pleased it worked for you! LOL, I think fem!Sherlock would be pretty damn sexy. As well as gratuitously dramatic. Thank you so much for the rec, too ♥

You've told me so often you hate me for what I write I must hate you a little in return now for making me read genderswap. One of those things in ficcery I absolutely HATE and yet once I started reading this I became utterly engrossed right away. How could I not with you sprinkling all that beautiful, sexy language all around.

Sherlock is, even though he (she? oh damn) is obviously very feminine still very much Sherlock, and Mycroft is so very Mycroft and well, put them in a room together and things have to happen, don't they?

It was very hot and sexy, very convincing, but what I loved most of all was the total IC-ness and the tenderness. For there should always be tenderness between these two, whatever the gender.

So, I still don't see why the delectable BC should be turned into a woman (I so very much prefer him in male form) but this surely was a treat.

Thank you!

To be honest, I'm not keen on genderswap either and have never written it, so I don't know why this happened. Actually, I do, and I kind of blame you for the fic I was *trying* to write XD

One thing I did like was that for me fem!Sherlock is just that little bit softer and gets along better with Mycroft. I seem to have great difficulty seeing that in m/m, at least as far as writing goes!

Thank you for giving it a try, and for the very sweet comments, despite your general loathing for genderswap, lol. I appreciate it! *g*

[dioscureantwins]

LOL! Well, I do hope that fic is still going to happen because I'm nothing if not selfish. *g*

Oh, but they did get on together perfectly well in Every breath you take and Eventide, I think. They're simply not the surfacy types.

I'll keep on loathing genderswap in general, but as long as you write it I'm afraid I'll have to keep reading it. XD

I recced this. And realised I forgot to feedback it. *stabs self*

Here's my rec: It's not long at all but it packs a punch. Intelligent, sexy, twisted in the way all of the best Sherlock fics are, and mightily hot.

Oh, and Sherlock is a woman. In killer heels. And Mycroft is her brother. And they're the pairing.

:-)

[lobelia321]

OK, I am having many senior moments. I did feedback as I note upon scrolling back up again.

That's it. I'm going to bed.

[daasgrrl]

You did indeed comment, lol. But it makes me immensely happy to see you back here, for whatever reason. And thank you again for the rec! That new S3 trailer? All kinds of lovely for Holmescest fans. Bring on the new year ;)

S3! Here we all come!!
