Fic Rec: Pedestrian, by vegarin

Title: Pedestrian
Author: [livejournal.com profile] vegarin
Pairing: None
Length: ~5,300 words

Author's summary: "Either he will waver at the sight of you, or he won't. Which do you think it will be, John?" John. Moriarty. A missing scene for The Great Game.

Rating: PG
Warnings: General spoilers for the three S1 episodes, particularly The Great Game.
Verse: Sherlock BBC

Reccer's comments: Stunning piece centering on John's thoughts during the time Moriarty's got him. The dialogue between the two - along with John's internal monologue - is just perfect, with Moriarty's sometimes unhinged, sometimes bored madness in counterpoint to John's steadiness and determination. And as Moriarty's plans for John and Sherlock become clear, John decides on a course of action.

Simply one of the best missing-scene fics I've read in any fandom. Pedestrian

Goodly mods: Might we have a missing-scene tag?
