Title: We Were Young
Music Title & Artist: 岁月轻狂(Echoes Of The Rainbow) by 李治廷
Vidder: kasuko1412
Pairing or Character: Sherlock Holmes/James Moriarty
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Link: Announcement post
Vidder's summary: Jim and Sherlock met each other at an early age. They were made for each other, but, they can only be together in the next life.

Reccer's Comments: A sweet and sad story of two boys meeting, growing up, and growing apart. Or do they really? The video is beautifully edited, with good picks for young Sherlock and young Jim, and splendid use of other material featuring Benedict Cumberbatch and Andrew Scott.

It's a really emotional watch.

Last, I hope I got the title of the song and the name of the artist right. If I didn't, please tell me and I'll edit it.

Title:The Trapping of Birdy Edwards
Author: Jolie_Black
Pairing: Sherlock/Molly
Length: approx. 21,800 words
Rating: teen and up
Warnings: none
< Author's summary: MOLLY: Sherlock Holmes, if you think that you can drag me through the nightclubs of this city as bait, just on the off chance that there’s some lunatic out there who deliberately targets young women below five foot four because he gets a kick out of them dying from ecstasy overdoses or something, you’re very much mistaken.
SHERLOCK: How did you manage to get all of that out in a single breath?
MOLLY: Learning by imitation, I suppose.
SHERLOCK: Would you come if I found a better pretext?
---------------------
When a quiet night of research at St. Bart's turns out to be the mere prelude to a kidnapping nightmare, Sherlock makes himself useful in an unexpected way, and Molly almost finds herself wishing that he hadn't. Almost.

Reccer's comments: A post S3 script fic that immediately drags you in and grabs you by the guts; so atmospheric are the stage directions and the dialogue is just top-notch. While reading the fic unfolds before one’s eyes like yet another ep, and a tightly-plotted, convoluted, utterly convincing one at that.

I realise a lot of people don’t like reading script fics, but really, in foregoing this one you’re deliberately missing out on something extremely good and satisfactory.
