Title: What Meets the Eye
Author: worldaccordingtofangirls
Pairing: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Length: 8 251 words
Rating: M
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: Amnesia is just another case to solve. Piece together unfamiliar faces, reconstruct the old identity, the lost reality. A challenge that Sherlock could even enjoy. He can read people like books. The man with the silver hair is his boss. The tottering old woman, his landlady. The girl with the worried look in her eyes… infatuated. And as for John Watson? His husband. Obviously.

Reccer's comments: The premise of this fic is most excellent (and I am glad beyond words that someone decided to write a fic like this for the Sherlock fandom). Basically Sherlock gets amnesia, but instead of telling anyone, he treats it as the biggest deduction/experiment of his life. Not surprisingly, he manages to fool everyone. The meta-ness of Sherlock deducing his own life and the sweetly developing relationship between him and John; coupled with great descriptive imagery and portrayed emotions make this a brilliant read.
