AUs. Crossovers. Those glorious little things, born in the imagination, incubated on a laptop and hatched onto the internet for the rest of us to revel in. Here is a (continually growing) list of my favorites--pairing is mostly John/Sherlock

REC: Embers series What_alchemy's Pinocchio-esque "Tremolo" is one of the most beautiful stories I've ever read, as well as its sequel, "Dismantle The Sun."

Ooh, thank you kindly for the rec + links! I think I remember hearing about these, but I've never read them myself. *trots off to read*

Cheers!

Oooh, adding this to my memories!

Have you read the Queen of Gondal stories by AJHall? (Whom I heartily recommend in a broad sense too, for every story ever written. Brilliant casefics!) Anyway, the Queen of Gondal is a crossover to some stories the Brontes wrote when they were young, with John as a physician who gets tasked to take a princess to the next country over to try to fend off a war. She's going to get married, to Sherlock, who is the Crown Prince (Mycroft is the King!) But there are some complications. Not the least of which that once very long ago, John and Sherlock knew each other very well indeed. Brilliant storywriting, many of the characters are drawn from yet other crossovers, and yet all of the OCs are wonderfully real.

BRONTE crossover!? And the plot sounds fascinating too! Though frankly, any story in which Mycroft is king just makes me XD.
Sounds amazing--I can't wait to read it. Thanks so much for the rec!

I have to say that you have taken my "two more days of vacation, I will get Things Done!" and turned into "two more days of vacation, I will Read Fanfic!"

Excellent...

Ahaha, it's all part of my evil plan to take over the world, one Sherlock rec list at a time...

[numberthescars]

I'll add it to my reading list! I've read some great psychic!John fics, it would be great to see the opposite dynamic. Thanks for the rec. ^_^

Did you know The Pleasure-Dome Hotel has an author-approved sequel?

[numberthescars]

Indeed! I just discovered it. Thanks for the heads up, I'll add it to the list.
