Re: Question re: recommendation
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.

Date: 2012-07-07 08:47 pm (UTC)Gorgeous review! I think I remember "Compass", so I am thrilled to learn the author has continued in this fandom. Even if it isn't the piece I recall, I will certainly check _-B's work out!
