Fic Rec: Sinking the Land

[re-white.livejournal.com]

Title: Sinking the Land
Author: emungere
Pairing: Mycroft Holmes/Greg Lestrade
Length: 34302
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: None
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary:Three weeks ago, Mycroft Holmes picked Lestrade up outside New Scotland Yard and made him an offer he'd been unable to refuse, despite his best judgement. Mycroft had sucked his cock, dropped him off at home, and Lestrade hadn't heard a word from him since.

Now, the door of the black car swung open as Lestrade drew level with it. He could just see Mycroft's profile, hawkish nose and shallow chin limned by the orange glow of the streetlight.

Reccer's comments: Writing Mycroft in a romantic relationship can be a delicate balancing act, striking the right note between his dry superiority and whatever potential for softer emotion lurks underneath.  Sinking the Land is right in the sweet spot. Lestrade is wonderfully amiable, cheeky and self-deprecating, a perfect match for emungere's Mycroft. Hot, plotty and dressed with intrigue, snappy dialogue and a well written OC, this is a great sit-down read.

Title: Yards: We Go The Extra Mile!, also here at AO3
Author: flawedamythyst
Pairing: Sherlock/John, however it’s more of an ensemble piece
Length:approx. 2,000 words
Rating:PG
Warnings: none
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: Supermarket AU

Reccer's comments: A wonderfully cracky fic in which, believe it or not, the Yarders, the residents of 221B, and Molly work in retail, manning a supermarket. Each member of the cast is cast in the role that fits him or her best. The author has really been amazingly inventive and the different positions suit the characters down to the ground.

I can’t elaborate too much on the fic for then I would be giving away a lot of the fun. Just go ahead and read it and crack up over a perfect piece of marvellous silliness.

Enjoy!
