Sherlock Fic Recs
Aug. 11th, 2012 08:29 pmSo as you all breathlessly await my finishing up the MacBeth section *snerk* (I'm close, I promise!) you should read Improbable Reality here - http://flawedamythyst.livejournal.com/389257.html and its sequels.
flawedamythyst's summary: Moriarty recaptures John and leaves him trapped in a world of hallucinations.
It's amazing, it really is. Even if you've already read them all, go reread again now, that's what I'm planning on doing as soon as I've posted this. :-)
Also, I actually had some time to browse a couple of the comms on which I have fallen so far behind and have discovered the delightful Little Things by
bradspyjamas who has put quite a lot of thought into this Omegaverse thing - http://bradspyjamas.livejournal.com/13865.html and all that thought convinced me that I can handle reading one author who has impregnated (no, silly, Sherlock did the actual impregnating) John, also one of the suggested baby names on the table tickled me. Each chapter is a 221B, and it starts here with the first three. http://bradspyjamas.livejournal.com/13087.html Not all 60 chapters are yet posted, but they are written.

Well, I've had to pretty much write off Sherlock's weaponized parents in the you can imagine 'verse, but I think Pirate!Sherlock's parents were considerably more indulgent - though I think they probably died young, leaving Mycroft with the burden of parenting their second son, so I may very well insert that as an especially fond memory...

He got married out there and I couldn't attend the wedding (because of my back, a three hour car ride to the airport and then 24 hours in a plane. Not a good combination). Missing my only nephew is only part of it.
I do get to see photos and hear him burble on the phone. But that doesn't really make up for the not holding.

Date: 2012-08-12 06:53 am (UTC)User names are difficult when it comes to spelling, I often feel I should have added an underscore between words. And, you know, people are clever and such...
Oh, now I want to start an lj account named autocorrect - this is so very wrong...
