Open Recs Post

Last weekend of the month!

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.

NOTE: We need reccers for October! Sorry I didn't notice we were short before now--I've been working day and night and then had to hop a plane. This is my first chance to post anything for days.

Please jump in and take a turn sharing your enthusiasm with us. We'd love to see new faces and different taste. To sign up, you only need to add your name to the comments here. You must be a member for us to open the comm to your posts, so please join when you volunteer if you haven't already. Thanks!

Fics I have enjoyed this week:

A Scandal at the Ministry by thequeergiraffe. Part of The Brave and the Cunning series. Crossover with the Harry Potter verse, but Harry and Co. do not appear. Both Sherlock and John are students at Hogwarts. Rated Mature. This installment is Sherlock/Irene with Sherlock&John epic friendship/pre-slash.

as i let you rewrite gravity by 1electricpirate. Part of the More Things Than Are Dreamt Of series. Another crossover with the Harry Potter verse in which Sherlock is a Muggle and John is a wizard. Sherlock is very excited to find out more about the wizarding world, with mixed consequences. John/Sherlock with mention of past John/Charlie Weasley. This installment is rated Explicit.

Rhyme by parachute_silks. Rated R. Sherlock/John and F/F pre-slash. Sophie Heaney is suspected of killing her mother and her mother's lover; John and Sherlock arrive at Oxford University to work out whether that's true. In the course of their investigation they can't help but notice some uncomfortable parallels between Sophie's relationship with her friend Amy and their own increasingly tension-filled friendship. *Feelings* ensue, which the two not-quite-couples attempt to deal with while simultaneously trying to catch a murderer. Written for a kinkmeme prompt.

Fantastic recs, as always. I second 'as i let you rewrite gravity' - the absolute best Harry Potter crossover I've come across.

If you liked Rhyme, I also strongly recommend Parallel (http://archiveofourown.org/works/205389/chapters/305209) by brbsoulnomming (Sherlock/John and OC/OC F/F, rated M), which was written in response to the same prompt. The OCs are really engaging, and the developing relationship between Sherlock and John (complete with some agonising sexual tension) is very nicely done.

Yes, that was a great one too. :D
