Sherlock Recs

[caffienekitty]

(Counting the Rec Party posts I did at sherlockbbc before the Recday Sunday posts got started, this is the 30th rec post I've done in this fandom. It doesn't seem like it could possibly be that many. O.o)


GEN FIC

The Case of the Purloined Physician by cat_77
Synopsis: John is out of sight, and quite possibly about to go out of his mind.
(I do love a good John-napping. Complete with smart badassery and a fleeting hint of squint.)

Mouths of Babes by morganstuart
Description: Several weeks after the explosion at the pool, Lestrade visits the recuperating Sherlock and John at 221B Baker Street. He brings case files and food... and a visitor in tow.
(Sherlock and a child, chatting. The adorableness, it burns so good.)


PRE-SLASH FIC

Auto-Correct by stupid_drawings
Summary: John is having issues with his phone.
(PG-13 - Innuendo. Text-fic. The joy of having a machine try to think for you.)

Colours by starjenni
Summary: When Sherlock Holmes dies, John Watson's world goes grey. Literally.
(PG-13 - kissing. A true-feeling and heartachey look at a Reichenbach/Empty House scenario. Great metaphor-made-real.)

Bottled Lightning by ciaranbochna
Reccer's Summary: The air always crackles before a storm breaks.
Warnings: Mentions of mental health issues, references to child abuse.
(PG-13 - Kissing and touching. This fic is stuffed full of poetic imagery and very richly described memories, snapping with tension.)



SLASH FIC

Sink Like A Stone by as_i_am
Reccer's Summary: It's over and they're back at the flat, but something has changed.
WARNINGS: Darkness, angst, sadness, a bit of making out and naked cuddling. Spoilers Post 1.03
(R - see warnings, also highlight for fic spoilermajor character death. This fic may kill you all severely; it sure as hell killed me. Bring Kleenex.)

The Heart in the Whole by verityburns
Summary: Events after The Great Game leave Sherlock dependent on his best friend and colleague. But John has a secret of his own...
(NC17 - Sherlock/John, first times for everything. Includes head injuries, disability and angst relating thereto, so tread carefully if you are bothered by things like that. 20 chapters, many, many very good words. This fic has been posted for a long time and recced by everyone under the sun, but I don't get much chance to read longer fic so I only just read it this week. I can't not rec this. If you haven't read this fic and are at all positively inclined towards Sherlock/John, read it. Tense, romantic, painful, awkward, and full of awesome wondrousness, plus there's even a case in there!)



VID

All About Us by selinabln
Music: All About Us, by T.a.t.U.
(Watch this vid. Right now. I see it as Squint, because I can see this as being super slashy or being about the most epic badass gen friendship ever, it all depends on your point of view watching it. Has some quick cuts, so if you have a slow connection I recommend downloading the vid so it doesn't de-synch.)
