Open Recs Post

Late despite my good intentions, but here it is: A new and shiny Open Recs Post!

You're welcome to leave recs in comments to this post. No need to sign up or join the comm.

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.

Fic Rec: Murderous Imprint

[swissmarg]

Title: Murderous Imprint
Author: MojoFlower
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Length: 52,632 words
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: None
Verse: Sherlock (BBC)
Author's summary: Sherlock should be focusing on the series of brutal vivisections Lestrade has brought to him. Instead he's distracted by a most amazing and unexpected experimental opportunity from the basement apartment of 221C. Will he figure out the one in time to stop the other? And does he need help in order to do it? An AU. Eventual Johnlock.

Reccer's comments: Honestly, wing!fic doesn't generally do it for me. Something about over-romantization and the Mary Sue - or in this fandom, Gary Stu - factor. But this one actually has a motivation for it which, while not entirely explaining things in a scientific manner (you'll want to check your real-world sensibilities at the door anyway), did provide enough character-based justification that it worked for me.

Also, there's absolutely splendid, anatomically correct wing!porn.
