[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

Title: Call for the Doctor
Author: rabidsamfan
Pairing: Gen
Length: ~22.000
Rating: PG13-ish
Warnings: -
Verse: Books
Author's summary: A drabble series. When Watson is called to help an accident victim he finds that the patient is Holmes -- and that the accident was no accident at all.
Reccer's comments: I'm really in awe of rabidsamfan for telling this whole story in the form of drabbles. It's packed full of suspense and I literally could not stop reading once I had started! Usually I'm rather a hurt!Watson fan, but this is the exception to the rule. Simply one of the best case fics I've come across, with perfect characterization and A+ writing. It also ties in really well with ACD canon.

ETA: Can also be read here on LJ! (But be careful not to spoil yourself, since the text is not under LJ cuts and the last entry is at the top of the page...)
ETA2: Aaand on AO3 here! Now go read! :)

You can also read it by clicking on the Call for the Doctor (http://rabidsamfan.livejournal.com/tag/call%20for%20the%20doctor) tag on her journal, if the thought of spending any amount of time on fanfiction.net makes you despair (as it does me).

True ^^. Thanks for pointing that out!

The fact that a story is archived on ff.net is enough to make me skip it almost every time, and I don't think people should miss this one!

I don't know why, but I only had the link to this one of ff.net, though I'm never on there anymore... I'll edit the post to include the LJ link, too.

I also have it up over at AO3. http://archiveofourown.org/works/74662/chapters/99352

And I'm tickled pink that you've recced it. I really am kind of proud of that one.

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

You're more than welcome :)! I've wanted to rec this for ages...

(Will add the AO3 link, too, thanks!)

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Is a good thing. And you've given me the incentive to link it to the sequel, which for some mysterious reason I hadn't...

Is there any format for this fic where you have put all the drabbles on one page? I'd like to read it, but I have connectivity problems, and trying to load 222 pages would have me slitting my wrists. *crosses fingers*

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

On AO3, there's a button which gets you the entire fic. (And a link, here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/74662?view_full_work=true) Very useful for slow connections!

Thank you!
