Author's Summary: The Holmes siblings are gods, ruling over England. John goes to Sherlock, the dangerous and unpredictable one, to beg for help.

Reccer's Comments: I will readily admit: I am a slasher of the highest order. So I donned my slash goggles with this one and was quite happy. Was it necessary? No.shiny_n_new did a spectacular job creating her own god!verse in which Mycroft is the brother everyone tributes to and Sherlock is the one everyone avoids because he is "unpredictable and dangerous." While you can find temples to Mycroft all over the city, the only entrance to Sherlock's is through the basement at Barts--which is where John's journey starts. In about 3,000 words shiny_n_new draws you into a place which is reminiscent of both Greece and Tamora Pierce's books in which gods rule the realm and their favors are asked for often. The fic is finished, but she promises that more will be added to the 'verse later (I can't wait!)

Fic Rec: You Better Work

Title: You Better Work
Author: airspaniel
Pairing: Gen
Length: Drabble
Rating: PG
Warnings: none
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: Shutter clicks underscored the terse orders from the silver-haired man in charge, as he gestured towards the bodies on the floor. Lestrade had called in a favor, practically begging Sherlock to work on his latest shoot for Vogue, anticipating London Fashion Week.
Reccer's comments: This little gem builds a tantalizing AU in which Sherlock is a fashion model and John is his bodyguard. It’s a smart, pithy window into an intriguing universe where airspaniel’s fitted all the characters perfectly to their roles.
