FicRec: When the War Fires Fade by snowdarkred

Title: When the War Fires Fade
Author: [livejournal.com profile] snowdarkred
Pairing: Gen
Length: ~7000
Author's summary: The Wars turned the world on its head, and in that unrivaled chaos, John Watson was born with a rare gift. Sherlock, naturally, was born with an even rarer one. Years after the Wars end and the Others return to their dark lairs, two men are introduced by a well-meaning mutual acquaintance. And their world is upturned yet again.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: magic!AU, violence, swearing, vampires that don't sparkle and are actually supposed to be somewhat scary, gratuitous descriptions
Verse: Sherlock BBC/Sunshine
Reccer's comments: This is an AU based on the book "Sunshine" by Robin McKinley, which I have not yet read...but because of this fic, I have checked it out of my library. (Though, honestly, knowledge of the book is not required.) In a fandom full of excellent crossovers and AUs, this is one of my favorites. And yes, the vampires in this story are not the friendly kind. Best of all, this fic includes one of those moments (near the end) that make you want to cheer...and beg for a sequel (of which there are rumours, btw.)
