Title: No Place Like Home (or, Return to Royston Vasey)
Author: daasgirl
Pairing: Mycroft/Sherlock/John, past Mycroft/Sherlock
Length: ca. 15,000
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: The author's warning's are pretty much spot on, so I'll just C&P them here: May be offensive/squicky/disturbing on a multitude of fronts. I was going to try to warn individually, but I felt I would only overlook something. While notionally a comedy, The League of Gentlemen is dark, twisted, and frequently tasteless, so while I don't think there's anything worse than already found in the show, kindly read at your own risk. Fic-wise, none of the characters suffer any permanent damage, although John may beg to differ.
Verse: Sherlock BBC, cross-over with League of Gentlemen
Author's summary: In which John accompanies Mycroft and Sherlock on a trip North, and encounters more than he ever bargained for.

Cut because Reccer's comments are long: )

Title: Cake and Other Sins
Author: Indybaggins
Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Mycroft Holmes/Sherlock Holmes, Mycroft Holmes/Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Length: 100.673 words
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: none
Verse: BBC
Author's summary: AU. Sherlock and John meet as competing bakers on The Great British Bake Off. There’s intense baking, lush recipes and enticing food. Mycroft, guilt, past sins in chocolate and gingerbread. And love. That too.

Reccer's comments: I've read the summary and I've read the warnings and neither had prepared me for this fic. There is crack in this fic, yes. But there's also plenty of angst. It's way more intense, disturbing and serious than you'd think upon seeing it's a Great British Bake Off AU.

I freely admit that while I appreciate this threesome and how John somehow balances things out, and I also quite enjoy Johnlock in here, this fic for me is won by holmescest and quite probably the most fascinating description of this relationship in fandom. Almost all fics that describe Holmes' brothers relationship somehow touch the subject of food, diets and fat jokes, but this is the one ties it all up into one perfectly twisted mix.

I feel I have to say that even if these pairings are your cup of tea, this fic might not be, might be too much in the wrong direction. However it just might hit all of the right buttons and you will realize what a gem it is and how quite possibly it's the most perfect, most twisted love story ever written. Plus, there will be cakes.

Title: like a lost lamb returning to the fold
Author: Sarah T
Pairing: Mycroft Holmes/Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Mycroft Holmes/Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Length: 3,222
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: Incest, bloodplay, blood drinking and all that sort of stuff that goes hand in hand with 'Vampire AU'
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: Fragment of a vampire AU.
Reccer's comments: This fic is a scintillating little peek into that most marvellous of guilty pleasures, the Vampire AU. What makes it stand out is the quality of Sarah T's writing, which is consistently wonderful whatever her subject matter and this is no exception. It has a sort of clean lyricism to it which I really love. Here, the dynamic between Sherlock and Mycroft as seen through the eyes of John is what I find most compelling - the lovely, quiet intimacy of their actions have such a delicious eroticism to them, and the way a slightly reluctant John is at first shocked and then intrigued and finally utterly seduced by the two of them (because really, who wouldn't be?) is wonderfully done.


'"John likes to be frightened," Sherlock whispered. "Just a little. Just enough."'

Title: Modern Warfare and Armistice
Author: [livejournal.com profile] entangled_now
Pairing: Sherlock/John/Mycroft
Length: both 4,000 words
Rating: both NC-17
Warnings: incest
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: For Modern Warfare "In which Mycroft and Sherlock never did learn to share".
For Armistice "John is not some sort of holiday home in the south of France, to be fought over by brothers who took the phrase 'sibling rivalry' and turned it into the plot of a Russian novel".

Reccer's comments: Mods, let me know if I should make this two separate posts, but I'm reccing these two stories because I think they're more interesting together than separately. Basically, these two fics read, to me, like a fork in the road, or two options from a choose-your-own-adventure book. In both, John is in a poly relationship with both Holmes brothers. In Armistice, Mycroft and Sherlock come to an agreement about how their relationship(s) should work. In Modern Warfare, they can't agree on anything. With sexy results!

Author's summary: In the pocket of his trousers, next to his phone, Mycroft carries the standard-issue steel capsule meant for protecting arthropod daemons. When people ask about it, he smiles and tells them she's not fond of the light, or of people other than himself. This is a lie.

Reccer's comments: This awesome piece of work, is a crossover with the Dark Materials world. Its very intense! And also have a podfic with my favorite reader, Fayjay!! That u guys can find Here! So i really hope you enjoy this rec! ^_^

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.
