Open Recs Post

Sorry I'm so late this morning! I didn't realize it was Saturday. Please, rec away.

You're welcome 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.

Two time travel fics for you this week:

Rule Seventy-Two Thousand by Trill. ACD/BBC/Homeward Bounders crossover. John/Sherlock, Molly/Lestrade, rated Teen. ca. 11,000 words. I have never heard of the Homeward Bounders verse, but I was able to pretty much figure out what I needed to in order to follow the story. It's scifi!Holmes, kind of steampunkish time travelly, with a pretty clever resolution.

Beware the Jabberwock by ObsidianEmbrace. ACD/BBC crossover. John/Sherlock, Watson/Holmes, rated Mature. ca. 26,800 words. Both sets of partners are transplanted to the others' time. What happens when one of them doesn't want to return? Interesting exploration of homosexual relationships in the respective times.

And one kidfic:

Fill Our Mouths With Cinnamon Now. John/Sherlock, rated Explicit. ca. 115,000 words. Sherlock is the father of a four-year-old girl. Through the course of several cases, we learn both how that came to be and how things that happened in the past are very much connected to the present and Moriarty.

I second Fill Our Mouths with Cinnamon Now. It was lovely.

Okay, I really need to stop, but this piece was *just* posted and it's really quite amazing. (Full disclosure: I was a beta reader on it, which is what brought it to my attention.)

Contact by LaDolceMia. John/Sherlock, rated Explicit. ca. 8,700 words. No one has ever made creepy!Sherlock so hot. (Make sure to read the fic that this is the sequel to first, Undercurrents by entangled_now.)

I'm so happy to be hearing so many good things about Fill Our Mouths with Cinnamon Now on the comms. I started reading it, but it seemed like it would turn into another rambling kid!fic.


With all the praise, I'm going to go give it another try. I only went a few chapters in last time.

The first two sound intriguing. Thank you!
