Reccer's Comments: “Naturally” is, for me, the Watson-to-Holmes song. It works on just about every adaptation out there. This is by far the best vid I’ve found with this song. It’s nicely edited and a joy to watch (and I'm sure it doesn't hurt that this is the Holmes/Watson pair that I have the easiest time shipping ;) ).

For years in fandom, this has been my go-to place when I need a quick boost of Holmesian joy.

Title: Child Sherlock and John--Inventing!
Artist:

pennies_4_eyes
Pairing: Gen
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Verse: Sherlock BBC

Author's summary: Here is an artfill for THIS prompt over at the Sherlock!BBC kink meme.

I wanted to capture them with a difference in age, John the older. So here we have a determined, focused Sherlock at age 7 (or so) with an older John watching out for him, first aid kit at the ready. They're in the attic at Sherlock's house where he has commandeered an old dressmaker's form to mount his (rather steampunk) flying machine on. THis was SO fun that I may do more from this headverse.

Poor Sherlock is a bit consternated, looking over his blueprint diagram. That's a screwdriver in his hand. I know. It's hard to tell.

Reccer's comments: Pennies-4-Eyes does outstanding adult!Sherlock/Holmes and John/Watson, so it's lovely to see how charming her child versions of John and Sherlock are. Both look like children (face and body-wise), adorable without being overly cute. The nods to their clothing on the series is a wonderful touch: John wearing an oatmeal sweater with a buttondown shirt, Sherlock in a white dress shirt, dark shorts, and loafers that suggest the attire of his adulthood.

Sherlock trying to invent mechanical wings touches on his twin devotions to science and adventure. The dangers in this project are hinted at with the plasters on his knee, elbow, and cheek, as well as the bandages wrapped around his wrist and fingers. The placement of John's first aid kit nearby, where he can swiftly render medical assistance, shows us that John knows his expertise will be needed again.

Sherlock's intent expression speaks of frustration as well as determination (somehow he will make those metal wings work!). John's face is calm but alert; I can believe he is ready for almost anything: mending Sherlock, or helping him get his creation off the ground, so to speak. Encapsulated in this image from an AU 'verse are their roles in canon: Sherlock completely dedicated to his Work to the detriment of his Transport and John the Healer and fellow Adventurer, believing that Sherlock will solve any problem before him.

Title: A Dozen Different Hours
Author:

onidoko
Artist:

ptelefolone
Pairing: Holmes/Watson, OC m/m
Length: 64,463 words
Rating: PG-13

Warnings: See fic's About page for comprehensive list. I would highlight: drug use, crumbling boundaries of reality, non-explicit but genuinely creepy and pervasive intimations of child abuse and child sexuality.

Verse: ACD!Sherlock Holmes x Alice in Wonderland. Pop-culture awareness of Carroll will do, but knowing the books adds to the enjoyment (to the same degree as Sherlock, say).

Author's summary: A not-so routine kidnapping provides the great Sherlock Holmes with a case unlike any he’s handled before: a race against a clock which obeys no set rule of Time; a world consisting of other people’s conflicting realities; and a search for a girl whom he’s only encountered between the pages of a storybook …

Reccer's comments: In the event that you have always wanted your Holmesian hurt-comfort UST to take place within the context of a steampunk gothic version of Alice in Wonderland, this is definitely the fic for you. Though it's still worth a read if the idea had not occurred for some reason! In retrospect one wonders if the crossover's been done elsewhere - it's sort of an ultimate throwdown between randomness and its opposite. Victorian secular materialism versus philosophical anti-rationalism. ( Read more... )

Many of my recs will be crossovers, I'm afraid - I have difficulty remembering that Sherlock Holmes does not simply exist across all fictional universes. XD;

Mods, may I have tags for steampunk, fantasy, underage sexuality, and historical RPF? And any others you might see fit.

Hi!
Just a few words on our tags and tagging your recs.

Tags are useful search tools for grouping the recs by categories: by pairing, genre, content, and sources for the stories or other fanworks.

We ask that reccers attach tags that are relevant to the works they rec. You don't have to add everything that applies-- for example, not a character tag for everyone who might appear in the story, or every theme or content. But if Molly has a significant cameo, say, that you think people searching for her might appreciate, then by all means list her in a tag. Likewise if you think this is the addiction story people should read, then use the content: addiction tag.

The required aspects to tag are pairing (if it applies), relationship genre (i.e., gen, slash, or het*), and verse (the source: ACD books, Sherlock BBC, Granada, etc.).

The easiest place to see all of the tags available is in this list of tags.

Tagging is enabled only for the author of the post and the mods. Only the mods can add new tags. We have a beginning list up now, anticipating likely categories and characters. We'll add more as recs are made, if characters and pairings, for example, aren't covered already. You can request a new tag to be added by commenting here or by contacting one of the mods. Keep in mind, again, that we'll be adding character tags as additional characters appear in recs.

Sherlock Holmes and John Watson have been abbreviated as SH and JW in pairings and some other places (e.g., content: sick jw). Since this recs comm is open to all versions of Sherlock Holmes, it seemed the simplest way to identify the characters. Lestrade, Gregson, and Dimmock are listed as "inspector" following ACD book canon, and Moriarty is listed only once by his (their) surname alone. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is abbreviated throughout as ACD.

*We won't add a category for "slash-if-you-squint" or similar invitations for the reader to see subtext in a story. If the author hasn't labeled her work as slash, then it's genre: gen or genre: friendship.
