I have been watching this video pretty much nonstop for the last few days. I read the story upon which it's based and the spinoff-prequel. But I simply. Cannot. Get. Enough dark!Sherlock.

Anon's mission, should (s)he choose to accept it, is this: Sherlock over that razor-thin edge alluded to by Donovan, a serial killer not motivated by enjoyment but by his characteristic boredom. I don't want to see a caricature of psychosis, but what canon!Sherlock might have been/could still become if his sociopathy were taken just a little bit farther, and he found solving crimes to be just a little too boring. John's role is up to anon, whether he had murderous inclinations of his own before meeting Sherlock or whether he's a normal guy who gets pulled into Sherlock's world before he realizes what's going on.

I love that video so much, I think I’ve watched it more than any other Sherlock vid, but I have a soft spot for dark stories. I really think it’s amazingly made, absolutely great flow and mood. I actually planned a dark!Sherlock fic a while back, then after I found the vid, thought I’d use it as inspiration. However, if anyone else will write this, that would be fantastic.

also, it's based on a story?
