221b_recsTitle: Guided by the Beauty of Our Weapons
Author: cjmarlowe
Pairing: Gen
Length: 11690 words
Rating: T
Warnings: N/A
Verse: Elementary
Author's summary: Even for Holmes and Watson, some of the most important things in their lives take place in between cases, and adjusting to the new status quo is going to take some work on both sides.
Reccer's comments: A study in the life of a bored consulting detective and the effect that dealing (or not dealing) with his boredom can have on his partner. Gregson hasn't called with a new case in weeks and Holmes isn't taking it well. Set toward the end of season one, Joan juggles increasingly bizarre investigative training activities with Sherlock's anxieties about the lack of work. Interspersed are stray observations from outsiders and friends who jump to a wide range of conclusions (some accurate, some not so much) about what exactly is going on between them. This fic is replete with clever dialogue, beautiful moments of insight, creative and amusing activities, and a few fun facts about obscure ways people have died.

"Do you actually have an encyclopedic knowledge of the ways in which people die?"
"Encyclopedic might be overstating," said Sherlock, "but it's hard to think of another word that suffices. Ask me about the perils of cheerleading some time. Or ice cream. Terribly lethal, ice cream."
