Title:The Penultimate Problem
Author: random_nexus
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Length: 18,369 Words
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: minor character deaths
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: Very much like the prompt, angst, apocalypse-light, and other hijinx ensue.

Reccer's comments: A worldwide plague has broken out and Mycroft has room in a safe facility for Sherlock & Mummy but not for John. This scenario lets random_nexus gives us what every fandom needs - an apocalypse AU filled with heartrending emotion. The angst is unavoidable because we know that Sherlock would never leave John's side and that John would do what's best no matter how dear the price. Great writing, strong emotion and an end to the world as we know it make this a must read.

Isn't it a great story? I have such a love for apocalypse AU's and this one is so satisfying.

I have links for two zombie stories but I'm not sure that either of them is what you're looking for.

You, After the Rain (http://misanthropyray.livejournal.com/5093.html) by misanthropyray

I Am Become Death (http://community.livejournal.com/libraryofsol/171473.html) by entangled_now

No, neither of those. Dammit. I have a feeling it was comment fic on some thread and I *hate* when authors don't bother to then archive those pieces somewhere--either on their own journals or in any fanfiction archive.

Bleh.

Maybe A London Blitz (http://sherlockbbc-fic.livejournal.com/2727.html?thread=6203815#t6203815)?

Yeah - I found it thanks to irisbleufic; she remembered it was on her recs page. I just posted to sherlockbbc about it, and then maybe nudged authors of commentfic to also save the fic to their ljs. Also, that one is anonymous, and I don't think anyone has claimed authorship, which is a shame.

I haven't read that one. Something new to look forward to!

It's really good! And the author is *still* anonymous. WHY? *meh*
