Fic Rec: The Blood Brothers series
Title: Blood Brothers
Author: 221b_hound
Pairing: Gen
Length: 32,000 words
Rating: G to Mature, depending on the individual story
Warnings: Graphic violence, including child harm
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: I couldn't resist filling this prompt: Vampire fic with no consent issues. I want to read about supernatural shenanigans without thralls or vampires as a superior race or all that. ...
In this story, John and Sherlock are the epic BFFs I always consider them to be.
Reccer's comments: Vampire!Sherlock stories are common enough, but in this series John is the one who's been turned into a vampire. He reacts, as John would, in a completely down-to-earth way, with no patience for all of the ridiculous vampires with their secret covens and opera capes.
The series is currently comprised of ten short stories. It made me laugh out loud several times, and truly moved me at other points. In the latest installments, the author is doing something spectacular with a sympathetic Sally Donovan, and I am intrigued to see where she takes these characters next.
Two steps into 221B, they questions started, so rapidly fired that there was no time to answer a single one. They all came spilling out of Sherlock: How long have you been a vampire? Is that the right word? How did it happen? Who did it to you? What are the rules? Those movies are stupid and never make sense. Can you turn into a wolf? Of course not, stupid question, sorry, a bit unexpected, all this. Where do your teeth go? You still breathe – do you need to? What is it about your saliva? I felt how it worked on the marks when you bit me. The blood in the tree was dark – does your blood change? I’ll take some samples, and the saliva, skin and hair as well, other tests too, of course, but those will be good to start with…”
“What is it, John?” Sherlock looked down his long nose at John standing, grim-faced, in the vestibule. “What?” he repeated.
John’s jaw worked for a moment, until he found his voice. “Sherlock, you had better not hand me over to Baskerville for experiments.”
“Why would you think I would give you to anybody else to experiment on?”
Enjoy ( Blood Brothers )
