wafflestories
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Length: 2,225 words
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: none
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: John goes to a medical conference. Sherlock goes round the bend. Hurray, mildly stalkery floof!
Reccer's comments: "Mildly stalkery floof" sums up the tone of this one pretty well :) It's not dark, it's charming and funny and at times poignant. John is away for a week, and Sherlock misses him, somewhat unhealthily, but the story manages to keep it overall endearing. I get the sense in this fic that Sherlock looks on himself as a kind of alien in a world that constantly rubs against him the wrong way, and that without John as a buffer he begins to unravel a bit. The author has a lot of fun with this idea, though there are also moments of melancholy or of harshness to balance the humor. There is, in addition, a case that injects a dose of pure adrenaline at an unexpected moment.
The author writes both action and emotion elegantly, and there is a lightness to the tone that makes me smile, sometimes in laughter and sometimes in sympathy. This story wraps a lot into its small package, and I find it quite delightful.

Date: 2014-12-10 09:51 pm (UTC)I don't know the author personally, but my impression is that they left the fandom quite some time ago (as in, before Series 2 aired). I haven't found their work posted anywhere other than their LJ.
However, if you like their writing, I think you will really enjoy exploring the "sherlock" tag on their LJ, there's quite a bit in there! They wrote a nice variety of characters, tones, and lengths from very short drabbles to a multi-part AU (they have an 8-part unfinished Bioshock fusion story that is *so good* it's worth reading despite the lack of resolution). But I think their one-shots, like this one, are my favorites :)
