fic rec: Afterswarm

[verdant_fire]

Title: Afterswarm
Author: whitedatura
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Length: 10591 words
Rating: Teen
Verse: BBC
Author's summary: John has seen Sherlock do a lot of odd things over the years, but Sherlock having a genuine conversation with a bee might be the oddest. (Or: the one where Sherlock communicates with bees, John questions his sanity, and Mrs Hudson gets a new computer.)

Reccer's comments: This sweet, delicate fic has its own unique take on Sherlock and bees.  The characterizations in this are lovely, as is the way their relationship develops, with John being understanding and curious while Sherlock works through the reality of trusting John with his biggest secret.  This is a warm and gentle fic, with a lot of affection and humor, and it's a comfort and delight to read.
