First recs :)

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

To set a good modly example I'm appointing myself as one of the January reccers, and am going to do the first rec post. May many follow!

ETA: Please note that since I've made this post I've changed the rules to "only one rec per post" (for tagging reasons). I'll leave it like this for now, but in the future please limit each of your entries to one rec. Sorry about the confusion!


These are all well known I think, but we gotta start somewhere ^^.


Title: Thought experiments
Author: entangled_now
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Length: 7300
Author's summary/ excerpt: Thought experiment: an attempt to solve a problem using the power of human imagination.
John can't remember the last time he came back to the flat and had to ask a normal question. It's never 'do we have any milk?' or 'where's the post?' No, these days it tends to be 'why are there eyeballs in the microwave?' or 'why are all the walls covered in dead butterflies?' or 'where did this 40 gallon tank come from?' Or, on one particularly memorable Thursday, 'why are you tied to a chair?'

Reccer's comments: I love the characterization in this piece. It's one of those fics where I can actually hear their voices in my head while reading.

These are all well known I think, but we gotta start somewhere

In that case I'm a worse fan than I thought... I hadn't read any of these bar the last one $-)

Thanks for the list, very entertaining
