sherlockbigbang a few weeks ago, and is — well. A stunning future!AU. It follows the course of all three episodes, but with another premise altogether, and a definite questioning, by both Sherlock and the reader, of what makes a human being, and what makes a machine. I found cj_ludd18's writing style beautiful; and her careful weaving together of Sherlock's perspective upon the rest of the world, and John's, and all the ways they should be different but aren't, makes this into a fantastic, addicting read.
