Open Recs post

[unovis.livejournal.com]

You may have noticed that we took a break from weekly Open Recs for August. Participation had slowed to one or two posts or recs in comments each weekend. With the fading of summer in this hemisphere, maybe readers will have more time.

We'll begin again with Open Recs posts in comments and maybe opening the comm to all posters for recs once a month again.

So please, here, you're welcome this weekend to leave recs in comments to this post. Any version of Sherlock Holmes is welcome, and any fan work as fic, art, vids, or podfic. Please feel free to recommend WIPs as well. We'd rather have individual recs than links to external rec lists, however. If you have any questions, please comment or PM one of the mods.

Fic Rec: The Secret Identity of John Watson

[keerawa.livejournal.com]

Title: The Secret Identity of John Watson ()
Author: scifigrl47
Pairing: John Watson/OFC, with a side of unrequited Sherlock/John
Length: 27,714 words
Rating: PG
Warnings: Canon levels of violence, in situations that could be triggerish
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: Taken out of context, John Watson leads a terrifying life. You have to wonder what those poor women he dates thinks of it, especially if John decides to try keeping one away from Sherlock, and Sherlock decides that it'd be best if he could get rid of her. After all, Mycroft's taught him a thing or two about removing potential 'problems.'
Reccer's comments: Brilliant outsider POV. You feel for the narrator, Sam, as she meets this great guy, a doctor, and gets swept up in the insanity that is John Watson's life. Her post-date check-ins with her giirlfriends made me laugh out loud.

Yes, really fun fic. The OCs are some of the best I've seen.

Only a little bitty fail! Google found me the story fast enough. I was just puzzled because it looked like you had a link in your post but there was nothing there.
