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

Title: The Allure of the English Countryside
Author: stardust_made
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Length: 2,200 words (more or less)
Rating: G
Warnings: None, per comm guidelines on warnings
Verse: Sherlock BBC, with clever nods to ACD canon

Author's summary: Written for 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.

Thanks again for the rec. Please take out the warnings however, as we ask people to only warn for rape/non-con, extreme violence, underage sex, or character death.
