Warnings: discussion of past child abuse (physical abuse from a parent)
Verse: ACD Holmes
Author's summary: Watson learns something disconcerting about Holmes's past.

Reccer's comments: There's something about this story that has stuck with me for years. I'm not sure I can precisely articulate it, but it has something to do with its deliberate combination of intimacy and distance. The vignette takes place in the first blush of Holmes and Watson's new relationship - they are in bed together, joyous and lazily post-coital, learning the idiosyncratic details of each other's bodies. In the midst of this warmth, Watson observes a small scar on Holmes's neck, and Holmes tells him the truth about it.

Holmes suffered abuse as a child, about which he maintains ambiguous memories and feelings. And the story quietly and beautifully observes the complex reactions both Holmes and Watson have to sharing this knowledge. Something rings true to me about the double consciousness they both seem to feel. Holmes is at once vulnerable and guarded, drawing nearer to Watson but needing also to step back. Watson, for his part, is conscious of the thrill of a biographer presented with new insight into his subject, even as the lover in him reacts with profound emotion.

The author captures a deeply loving moment in the evolution of their relationship, which is not at all a simple moment.

Title: Private Friends
Author: orchid314
Pairing: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Length: 7,000 words
Rating: T
Warnings: none
Verse: ACD Books
Author's summary: John Watson tries to make sense of words and desire. Sometimes, he finds, that’s not such a simple task.

Reccer's comments: This is an exceptionally beautiful and tender love story. At times it has an almost dreamlike tone, perhaps aided by its non-linear structure as Watson drifts in and out of different precious and private memories. At moments it is imaginatively and delicately sensual, at other times it's bickering and delightfully funny - the rhyming dictionary! - and at still other times it can be shyly romantic or quietly sad. It offers up a gentle kaleidoscope of emotion and character insight as we trace the shift from friendship to romance, and the way that shift must bridge the painful gap of Reichenbach.

The dialogue is often elegantly simple and understated. The settings are vivid, etched in period detail but never cluttered. The portrait of love at the story's heart feels genuine - at times courtly, at times frustrated, at times peaceful - and on a meta level the fic deliberately plays with words. It's a gently and pleasantly ironic twist that, even as Watson comes to see the value in leaving the most private parts of their shared life unwritten, the fic itself writes these very moments with grace and power.

It's a lovely story that I hope will move you as it did me.

Reccer's comments: Gorgeous b & w line drawing with such a sense of presence and intensity - the kind of moment that freezes in the mind forever - framed beautifully. Holmes has returned and doesn’t even finish taking off his disguise before Watson, with more presence of mind than he has in canon, reacts somewhat more appropriately (passionate kiss). It’s Holmes who seems more on the edge of fainting.

Reccer's comments: I love this fic with a great love. Lines and scenes from it stick with me. I am an absolute sucker for good WWI and post-WWI Holmesian fic, and this has what I want from such fic: emotional intensity and plausible, thoughtfully-evoked historical context. The realities of war on the home front are well-handled -- be reminded that this was the first war when Londoners knew they could be bombed -- and the prose is delightfully paced and voiced. It's all so good. Be prepared to have a lot of feelings about Mycroft and the Holmes brothers' relationship.

Author's summary: My dear Mr. Smith,

Per our conversation of the 10th regarding the ms's unusual length, I am writing to propose that you delete the following text from Part One of "The Adventure of the Naval Treaty" before printing. I am sure that whatever expense you are put to for the new typesetting will ultimately be made up by a savings in the cost of printing. It has no bearing on the story, and was included purely because my readers seem to take an interest in these mundane sitting-room conversations between us. I intend to make similar cuts to Part Two before delivering on the deadline as we agreed. I believe no actual editing will be required. You can merely delete everything between ' "It does not tell us very much does it?" he remarked, as he handed it back to me' and ' "Hardly anything." ' However, that there may be no confusion, I replicate in the enclosure the exact portion of the text that I wish to suppress.

Thank you for your patience. I may say that apart from the length, there are many considerations which have induced me to make this change, and I very much appreciate your accommodating my wishes.

Sincerely yours,

Dr. John Watson.


Reccer's comments: This is part of an ongoing (and rather wonderful) series, but stands as a self-contained work. NAVA has always been one of my favorite canon stories, and I have been delighted to find great fic written about and around it. This fic elaborates on the relationship between Watson and "Tadpole" Phelps, through a conversation in the sitting room at 221b.

Verse: ACD canon
Author's summary: On reading my stories, one might believe that Holmes and I have always been as we became, co-conspirators in everything. This was not at all the case. To begin with, I was a little in awe of him.

Reccer's comments: This is a fic that may need no introduction; I still don't have a very good sense of what counts as well-known in this vast and sprawling fandom. But it is a fic that opened new vistas for me, and a fic that feels mysteriously perfect, well-balanced and well-paced. Its Watson is a delightful Watson, earnest, devoted -- ardent, too, and a little inarticulate in his ardor. There are many wondrous lines in it, but my favorite is this:

"You cannot have me safe. You can have me as I am--in love with you--or not at all."

Now that's the kind of high-stakes emotional drama I love. Go forth and enjoy, for the first time or fifth or fifteenth.

Length: @9,000 words
Rating: M
Warnings: none
Verse: ACD Holmes
Author's summary: Holmes boxes. Watson wagers. There are exchanges of signals and a case.

Reccer's comments: I have a special love for established relationship stories, where we get the chance to see how two people actually work in their day to day lives after they get together. This story is set in something of the 'honeymoon period' of Holmes and Watson's new relationship, while they are still dizzy with happiness and hungrily passionate with each other. Watson, especially, is searching for some public way to express his pride and elation without endangering them both. He quietly struggles with the niggling sense of insecurity he feels, knowing that the traditional social markers that solidify a recognized, committed relationship can never be theirs. But Holmes and Watson's shared life is as much about their work as it is anything else, and there too we can see the way they match each other and share the delights of discovery. The story follows them as they pursue an unusual jewel thief and uncover a historical mystery. The heart of the story, though, lies in the subtle but essential growth of their own mutual understanding as they find ways of reassuring one another that what they have is meant to last.

Would you have any objection to my running my finger along your parietal fissure? A cast of your skull, sir, until the original is available, would be an ornament to any anthropological museum. It is not my intention to be fulsome, but I confess that I covet your skull.”

Length: 4711 words
Rating: Gen
Verse: ACD
Author's summary: I picked up my drink and took a small sip, allowing the smoky liquid to burn at the back of my throat before swallowing it down. Heat blossomed in my stomach, the sensation perfectly in harmony with my feelings in that moment: warm, bright, hovering indecisively between calm contentment and a headier, more restless euphoria. My eyes traveled from the day’s paper to the man who sat beside me, reading and re-reading a letter, unaware that his presence was the source of my continued and consuming joy.

Watson feels deeply for Holmes, but what it is he feels is less than clear.

Reccer's comments: This is such a lovely and believable character piece, with Watson realizing that his feelings for Holmes go beyond just admiration. It's one of the best fics in that vein I've read, and the emotions and pacing are dead-on. The whole thing feels tender and true, and it's stuck with me ever since I read it.

Verse: ACD
Author's summary: Being the record of a single, chance encounter that offered me a glimpse into my own heart and that of Sherlock Holmes

Reccer's comments: Whether you ship H/W or see them as friends, I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling frustration with what ACD chooses to do with Holmes and Watson’s relationship in the last portion of their timeline. Watson abruptly moves out of Baker Street, a second Mrs. Watson is mentioned in passing with no further information given, Holmes retires to Sussex, he and Watson drift apart almost entirely. And I am sure there have been many, many fix-its written for this.

This is an unusual kind of fix-it, however. For this fic the author accepts the canon version of events as being true. But then goes on to expand on them and give them a psychological depth—looking at Watson’s state of mind as he comes to the startling realisation he’s ready to marry again after Mary, and also examining the love between two life-long friends.

The story has a poignancy of course—as Watson says, leaving Holmes would mark the end of something larger than either of us. But it’s oddly uplifting too—we are left with an intense awareness of the affection between Holmes and Watson, and the knowledge that the bond between them will always be there.

Author's summary:
When it finally happens, it is at breakfast.

"I say, Watson, confirm a theory for me," Homes says. His newspaper crackles as he folds it. "Do you feel yourself truly to be a man, or is this a practical arrangement?"


Reccer's comments: In two mirrored 'verses, Watson gives two answers to one question; the resulting stories twine past each other in a series of paired vignettes that explore gender, identity, and their expression in common fic tropes. [archiveofourown.org profile] oulfis' original story has a lovely understated poignancy to it, Holmes by turn kind and exasperating as he and Watson navigate their lives together in these twinned universes. LapOtter performs the story with a similarly light touch, and the humour and tenderness of the character interactions sparkle through their voice. They also make nice use of the technology to clarify the relationship of the various story parts to each other. (As they instruct in their reader notes, use stereo headphones for best results.)

While I of course enjoy the podfic purely on its own merits, I admit to being a sentimentalist about the reader's notes, too -- sometimes fandom brings us just the story we need, and sometimes the people, also. Further, I'm particularly pleased that LapOtter was able to put aside any concern about what gender their voice allegedly sounds like in order to bring us this podfic: this story would have been just a little bit less, in my opinion, if recorded in anyone else's voice.

Verse: ACD Books
Author's summary: Appearances deceive. That is, one might say, their chief function.

Reccer's comments: I have fallen woefully behind in recc'ing the many wonderful fics in this month's ACD Holmesfest, so at this point I will plan to leave thumbnail recs for most of my favorites in this comm's open recs post. But I couldn't finish out my month as a recc'er here without giving a bit more in-depth attention to this remarkable story.

Amid deep historicity and attention to period detail, this fic reconnects us with Kitty Winters and Violet de Merville as the entrepreneurs of a uniquely Victorian business venture. Although they were antagonists in The Illustrious Client, they have now joined forces to make their own way in the world. However, their business has become the target of a strange and disturbing series of attacks, and Holmes and Watson's investigation raises questions that skirt close to some of their own long-hidden secrets and desires.

With a strong case fic as its backbone, this story gives us pining of the very finest vintage. Holmes's delicate yearning throughout the ins and outs of his work and his daily life is beautifully expressed. The language is confident and balances lyricism and metaphor with great doses of humor and practicality. An engrossing and moving treat for the heart as well as the head, with a sublime and romantic ending.

Sample this masterful writing -- I think you will be glad that you did!

Rating: PG-13
Warnings: none
Verse: ACD Books
Author's summary: Watson struggles to uncover a mystery in a seaside village. Holmes is less than helpful.

Reccer's comments: The ACD Holmesfest is underway with so many delightful entries already and more to come! While this comm has an open recs post for the fest, it's also nice to have some more detailed recs. So let me start by calling your attention to this unique and lovely piece.

Here is a glimpse of Holmes and Watson, on the cusp of retirement, making their way through what Watson considers a lack-luster investigation amid the chilly ambience of a seaside resort town well past its summer prime. The author creates the details of the scene - the emptying streets, the dusty police station, the cramped local pub, the dark cliffside path - with an excellent eye for the most telling details.

The real marvel, though, is the keen and convincing take this story offers on Holmes and Watson's relationship, obviously established for many long years and deeply imbued with both affection and irritation. It is comfortable and prickly, teasing and sharp, boring on one level while obviously content and loving in its fundamentals. Here are two men who have made a life together for so long that they get on each other's nerves precisely because they know each other so well and are so completely synchronous in their routines.

Heart-warming with a tinge of melancholy, this fic left me feeling as if I had gotten a realistic and affectionate glimpse at this couple who, even ensconced in the mild aggravations of daily life, clearly can't live without each other.

Warnings: family estrangement, period-appropriate homophobia (including internalized)
Verse: ACD Holmes
Author's summary: Sherlock Holmes is a contradiction, an enigma, a force; at once the most generous spirit and the most self-contained man I have ever known. I've known more of him, I think, than anyone on earth. Yet for years I'd learned nothing about his boyhood, nor his fears, nor his future hopes, nor his father’s name. I never felt it as a lack until I knew he loved me.

Reccer's comments: Hello, everyone! I'm so happy to be a recc'er here with so many great new fanworks to look forward to this month as part of both the inktober art challenge and the ACD Holmesfest exchange! It's going to be an amazing October :) I want to start my recs, though, with this gorgeous new story from a_candle_for_sherlock, whose ACD fics consistently amaze me with their beauty, elegance, complexity, and tenderness.

This fic introduces us to the third Holmes brother in an unexpected way and delves into the painful family history surrounding the brothers' estrangement. The story crafts a subtle, loving portrait of Watson and Holmes's relationship as Watson begins to understand more about Holmes's formative experiences and his struggle to reconcile himself to his own identity.

The story is compassionate toward all its characters; I particularly love the quietly courageous and loyal role that Mycroft plays. Watson's narrative voice is utterly convincing in its delicate inquisitiveness, patience, and honest devotion. The fic portrays the painful fracturing of a family, but its central themes are those of healing, recovery, self-acceptance and the deepening of intimate connections. It also offers interesting glimpses into some of the historical realities of gay life in Victorian London.

This is a lovely, gentle story of both romance and brotherhood. I highly recommend it.

Title: To His Watson Going to Bed
Author: Okapi
Pairing: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Length: 2042
Rating: NC-17/Explicit
Verse: ACD books
Author's summary: Holmes recites poetry while Watson undresses. PWP. Poetry + prose.


Reccer's comments:

This is a multilayered PWP that unfolds like a complicated puzzle-box with nesting dolls inside, both in form and meaning.

There is a poem within the text, modeled on John Donne’s unbelievably steamy To His Mistress Going to Bed. The text of the story itself is a sextuple 221B-drabble (221 words, last one must begin with B). There are puns and plays on words and canon references and nods to the author’s other stories (not necessary to have read those).

And for all its cleverness, it never feels forced and the seams don’t show. The relationship between Holmes and Watson - the affection, the prickliness, the banter, the desire between them that has a three-dimensional lived-in quality, their lustful, appreciative ways with each others’ bodies and minds, is beautifully drawn.

And the poem itself. The lushness and lustiness of it is both elegant and filthy and it recalls Donne beautifully - like a glimpse of reddened ready genitals between parted silk. Holmes’s recitation building to its climax literally left me breathless; I could hear its rhythm so clearly.

If you have the slightest hint of a logophilia kink, do not pass up this one.

Excerpt: I coughed.
Holmes looked up.
I raised an eyebrow as if to ask, ‘Is there more?’
He shot me a hard look that said, ‘I’d be as dull as most of the criminal class of London if there wasn’t!’
And thank goodness, it was Holmes doing the reciting for once the poetry resumed, I was far too gone to do anything but leak and tremble, grip the furnishings and forget to breathe.


You and me both, Watson. Chapter one is the story with the poem integrated, chapter 2 is the poem left alone to stand up by itself.

Warnings: Discussion of suicide (not H or W)
Verse: ACD books
Author's summary: Watson travels to Kent to attend the funeral of an estranged friend from his past who committed suicide. Certain things transpire to make Watson wonder if his inappropriate love for Holmes could possibly be requited. After drinking a bit too much on the train home, he drafts a letter to Holmes revealing all, but isn't sure he will ever have the courage to potentially ruin everything by giving it to Holmes. Of course, things go terribly awry, and it will take a timely intervention by Mycroft Holmes to set things back on track.

Reccer's comments: This is a beautifully constructed, bittersweet story about lost opportunities, and found ones. Watson takes a short trip to attend the funeral of an old army buddy, and the emotional journey is a much longer, more grueling, and rewarding one as his friend posthumously persuades him to not waste chances. Watson reads his old friend’s heartbreaking suicide note, and is inspired to write a dangerously honest secret letter of his own - that seems to go missing.

Although the reader knows nothing terrible has happened or will happen, the tension and suspense is nonetheless real. In addition, Mycroft plays a delightful role and the relationship between the brothers is so effectively drawn in just a few paragraphs. This story has a beautiful, patient, leisurely style that encourages full immersion in the nuances of emotions, and the satisfying payoff is especially effective in its well-chosen setting. If it’s romance feels you want, this will give you a good buzz (sorry sorry).

Excerpt:

Time passed with terrible slowness and Watson didn’t want to go to his club or any of the places he might have gone on an average day, certain he would miss Holmes’ return should he be gone even a handful of minutes—that’s how these circumstances went, in real life as well as farcical plays and lurid yellow-backed novels, wasn’t it? The protagonist waits and waits until he can wait no more, steps out for but a moment and, lo! The person he was waiting for only then deigns to appear.

“Not on my watch, by heaven,” Watson grumbled under his breath as he stared down onto Baker Street through the sitting room window, the sunset a painter’s dream of colour beyond the rooftops to which Watson could not give due appreciation.

Length: 42715
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: None
Verse: ACD books
Author's summary:
The stage lost a fine actor, even as science lost an acute reasoner, when he became a specialist in crime.

January, 1881: a despondent army doctor is offered a ticket to a Shakespeare play, and is instantly captivated by the fellow playing the Danish prince himself. Then there is a murder. Then they fall in love.

Reccer's Comments: As of now, this fic has something over 300 comments on it on the AO3. I don't know why it hasn't been recc'd before, but I aim to remedy that now.

Yet another take on that fateful first meeting. This one from the inestimable Mistyzeo. She hurls us right into the middle of the action as we see Watson attending a performance of Hamlet, where the Prince is played by one S. Scott Holmes. Their attraction for one another is immediate, a murder soon follows, and the game is well and truly afoot.
There is femslash, a compelling mystery for Holmes to solve, a nod to The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, and not a word of the entire thing reads false. The period details are perfect as always, the characters are, well, perfectly in character. There are disguises, and picklocks, and even 221B complete with an aspidistra and a very knowing Mrs Hudson. And let's not neglect to mention some of the best written love scenes in the fandom.
There is a large cast of supporting characters, but they are all well-drawn enough that it's not confusing. A competent Lestrade makes his appearance as well, as in the end, the mystery is solved, the killer is caught and Holmes is launched on his true career.
Of course, like all detective fiction, it's a formula, but the genius of the thing is in its execution - and the execution is very, very well done.
