sanguinity: woodcut by M.C. Escher, "Snakes" (Escher Snakes)

Title: A Simple Deduction
Author: riventhorn
Pairing: Sherlock Hound/John Watson/Marie Hudson
Length: 3769 words
Rating: G
Verse: Sherlock Hound (Meitantei Holmes)
Author's summary: Hound, Watson, and Mrs. Hudson might never say it, but actions speak louder than words.

Reccer's comments: Affectionate, domestic, OT3 fluff for the 1984 anime series, Sherlock Hound. The first chapter is mostly pre-canon (although we do get to see Hound going a bit dreamy after meeting Dr. Watson), and the last two are set indeterminately post-canon. The character voices are spot-on, from Hound's gentlemanly reserve to Moriarty's scenery-chewing, and the shenanigans are appropriately over-the-top, and yet the story proper is a series of largely quiet, sometimes humorous moments that document the development of the OT3.

"A Simple Deduction" makes a few references to canon events, but they're not plot-critical, and shouldn't set you back if you don't know them. However, for those who prefer to know all the things, the references are drawn almost exclusively from two episodes: #1 "The Four Signatures" (wherein Hound first meets Dr. Watson), and #6 "The White Cliffs of Dover" (wherein there is far more to Mrs. Hudson than either of her lodgers suppose).

Title: The Rule of Three
Author: [livejournal.com profile] killalla
Pairing: SH/JW/MH
Length: ~7,500 words
Rating: PG
Warnings: none
Verse: ACD Books

Author's summary: Beginnings, endings and a most unconventional arrangement.

Reccer's comments: Here's a fic which has been buried in the back pages of Cox&Co. since - hold on - 2005. Many of the author's other fics are on AO3, but for some reason, this one isn't.
Remember, in canon we are never given any indication of how old Martha Hudson is. In this charming story told from her point of view, Killalla has chosen to envision her as a contemporary of Holmes and Watson. It's a sweet and unusual tale of an arrangement that stays completely true to the characters as we know them and true to the times in which they lived.

Mods, I think we need a tag for Pairing:SH/JW/Martha or some such.

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.
