Date: 2012-07-07 06:43 pm (UTC)Author Recommendation: insistent-bass (http://insistent-bass.livejournal.com)
Pairings: Sherlock/John, Sherlock/Lestrade
Ratings: PG to NC-17
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's Summary: "I write mostly John/Sherlock, 99% angst and usually a lot of swearing & other bad things."
Reccer's comments: Insistent-bass's work reminds me of smoky quartz: hard, shining stone that catches the light, swirled through with bits of darkness. I-B's work explores the relationship between Sherlock and John with a sharp, vivid intensity that is just beautiful. One of the first stories of theirs I read was compass (http://insistent-bass.livejournal.com/4122.html), in which Sherlock and John have an intense encounter in a thunderstorm. I-B's work is like those thunderstorms: powerful, drenching, cleansing, leaving the air around you vibrating and green.

Author's summary: Drawn for danikos_realms request on sherlockbbc's Make Me a Monday post: I have a very specific request. >.> I'd love to see some fanart of Mycroft going to work by umbrella, like Mary Poppins, with a tiny suitcase in his hand and possibly Anthea (or Sherlock or anyone, really) taking a ride with him, hanging onto his leg and working on her blackberry.
Reccer's comments: This is a delightful piece that I simply have to share. Mycroft and his umbrella are a point of fascination for me, and this use of it makes me smile.

Date: 2012-07-09 04:06 am (UTC)Aderyn8 is continuing her wonderful Deep Map series (http://archiveofourown.org/series/21668) of ficlets, which examines places and their relationships with the series' characters. "Landlocked", "Rare Earths", and "Sorrowful Angels" are some of the gorgeous love letters to the British Isles and London she has written in the past few weeks.
Related to the Deep Map theme, but not actually part of the series is the longer one-shot River Gods (http://archiveofourown.org/works/434000). Dying, coming back, drowning, meeting a Woman of the Sea, all set against the rivers of London.
