verdant_fireTitle: Speaker for the Bees
Author: antietamfalls
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Length: 14648 words
Rating: Mature
Warnings: none
Verse: BBC
Author's summary: It isn't always easy assisting a deaf detective. Luckily for John, they make a pretty good team.
Reccer's comments: This is a concept that could have gone wrong in the hands of a lesser writer, but it's deftly and empathetically handled here, with a lot of fascinating info about deaf culture as well. Sherlock and John are still very much themselves despite the AU, and the love and connection between them is palpable and very moving. This is a John who sometimes translates for Sherlock literally as well as figuratively, and a Sherlock who's just as formidable as he is in canon. Watching them grow closer and understand how indispensable they are to each other is the cherry on top of a beautiful story.
