FicRec: It Feels Like Home When I'm With You

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

Title: It Feels Like Home When I'm With You
Author: etothepii
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Length: ~14000
Author's summary: John still gets nightmares about Afghanistan. That's the worst part of it all, he thinks -- he still has dreams about sand and drowning to death in his own blood. But they're more memory than nightmare.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Character Death
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Reccer's comments: I love this story to slightly unnatural degrees I think. Sherlock moves into 221B which is already inhabited by John. Only - John's been killed in Afghanistan... Ghost!John is such an intriguing and wonderful character and the developing friendship/relationship between him and Sherlock is masterfully done! This could have turned out incredibly cheesy, but the author manages to make it realistic and slightly heart-wrenching instead. One of those stories that I wish would go on forever...

Yes! This one is fab. I almost didn't read it. I was thinking...Ghost? Depressing! I'm glad I gave it a try.
