Reccer's comments: Popping in with a zombie fic rec, because there's a zombie parade happening today and it seems like a good excuse to rec one of my favs.

There's a warning for zombies, but this is not like any other zombie fic I've ever read. I don't want to give anything away, because this fic packs a punch or two and it's best to go into it without a lot of preconceptions. So I'm just going to say that if there was ever going to be a zombie in the Sherlock BBC universe, this is the way it would happen. It's not enough to point out that Sherlock and John are in-character in this story - it's more that, given Sherlock and John's characters, this is a direction I could absolutely see things going. And given the subject matter, that's a pretty amazing feat of the author.

It's a wonderfully chilling, magnificent little tale. I Am Become Death, by entangled_now
