Reccer's Comments:
This is such a great video; nice song selection and lovely editing to match the lyrics! I love that it's in black and white--it somehow made the connection between John and Sherlock feel more intense. In fact, this is the video that I sent my sister so she could witness for herself the "strong bond" between them. ;D I also love the unique (and heart wrenching) ending. So well done! <3

selinabln is very talented vidder. It's well worth checking out all of her videos on her LJ!

Fic rec: Consequentialism

[pennypaperbrain.livejournal.com]

Title: Consequentialism
Author: Iamshadow21
Pairing: Gen
Length: 3,080 words
Rating: Teen
Warnings: none needed by comm rules
Verse: Sherlock BBC

Author's summary: John decides to take things into his own hands, so to speak.

Reccer's comments: This is a completely unsentimental self-harm fic. John comes back from the war, feeling useless and broken. He develops his own ideas about the best forms of therapy for this.
As one of Consequentialism’s AO3 tags reads, ‘You can be fucked up without being a woobie’. Author, POV character and third party – no prizes for guessing that’s Sherlock – just look at the subject and its functions straight on. One of those pieces of writing that help you understand just a little bit more about how people get through life.
