fic rec: Just Transport

[verdant_fire]

Title: Just Transport
Author: kinklock
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Length: 4650 words
Rating: Gen
Verse: BBC
Author's summary: Sherlock deduces a very interesting man on the tube one day, and starts to take public transport more often. Which is, of course, just a coincidence.

Reccer's comments: Another Tube fic, but in this one Sherlock hates the Underground--at least until he sees John on it one day, and becomes determined to find out more about him.  This is a gem of an alternate first-meeting fic, with lots of humor and awkward sweetness and Sherlock being rather emotionally clueless, at least until John cottons on.  I grinned pretty much the entire time I was reading this; it's quite endearing.

Fic Rec: Flesh and Blood by Indybaggins

[ficklepig.livejournal.com]

Title: Flesh and Blood
Author: Indybaggins
Pairing: Mycroft/Sherlock
Length: 12909 words
Rating: Explicit
Verse: BBC
Author's summary: Mycroft becomes a vampire, and Sherlock finds it intriguing, until it becomes all too real. Hunger, addiction, desperation... and giving in.

Reccer's comments: If I'm going to cop to reading an iddy distilled-essence-of-fanfiction incestuous vampire AU, I could cop to a lot worse than this little gem. Indybaggins gets right down to the deliciously physical nitty gritty of Mycroft being turned (for Queen and Country!) and explores the tension between addiction and denial, need and refusal, and the inextricable link between monstrous hunger and animal eroticism.

I'll just be over here dabbing my face with a cool washcloth.
