Fic Rec: The Allure of the English Countryside (BBC)

Title: The Allure of the English Countryside
Author: [livejournal.com profile] stardust_made
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Length: 2,200 words (more or less)
Rating: G
Warnings: If fluffy, ageing and nearing retirement-era BBC-based fic with sly ACD canon references isn't your thing, this won't be either.
Verse: Sherlock BBC, with clever nods to ACD canon
Author's summary: Written for [livejournal.com profile] nausicaa83 whose prompt was "how about something with Sherlock playing the violin for John? Something like this, maybe?" It was the first prompt I filled, partly because I was instantly inspired by the musical piece, partly because in all the stories I'd written not once had I had Sherlock playing the violin for John.
Reccer's comments: Sometimes you just want a well-written, non-angsty fic full of sentiment. The tea-and-buttered-toast equivalent of fanfic. THIS is one of those. An imaginative view of John and Sherlock in the future, and a lovely inspiration for what might coax Sherlock out of London. And be sure to listen to the Paganini piece, too.
