Fic Rec: Shopping List
Title: Shopping List
Author: Moranion
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Length: 54,336
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: None
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's Summary: John Watson keeps on meeting people he can't manage to keep. Sherlock Holmes seems to be no exception this rule.
Reccer's Comments: John Watson is pretty well destroyed by Sherlock's death. He's too sad for much tea and jumpers. But, that's alright, because he has the best support system anyone could ask for, including, of all people, Mycroft. Moranion has crafted some of the best versions of Mycroft, Molly and Mary to date. I know we all reach a saturation point for grief-stricken Watson, but this story is fantastically worth a read. Apart from S3's official version of Mary, Moranion's may be my favorite. She's tall, an author and she doesn't even really like John when they first bump into each other. Love it. Mycroft is believably sad about his brother's notDeath and offers John the opportunity to work through his grief with a sniper rifle. And Molly has settled into a space firmly in between "I'm sorry, John." and "I'm going to start slapping every one of you in the face." that is wonderfully jarring to experience. If those three don't give you enough incentive to breeze through the 50k or so of extensive side character development, know that Moranion has etched out a story in solidly lyrical prose that (mostly) shies away from being wordy. An achievement in and of itself. Come for the feels, stay for the supporting cast.
