I just wanted to rec what is possibly the best Holmes AU on the planet. :-D
It's a Holmes/Watson slash fic and in a world loosely based on the sci-fi series Sentinel. It's not a crossover, but Holmes is a sentinel and Watson is a guide. The author used cannon and fannon from the show to expand on the way the sentinel/guide relationship works. It's still in victorian England and the author's dedication to detail is amazing. the story is well paced and LOOOOOOOOOOOOng so far.(WIP) The plot is intricate and pulls you in and in all honesty once you start reading it's hard to stop. But the story is plot heavy and a little wordy so you might have to take a breather in order to get the facts straight because even the smallest details that seem irrelevant come up later.There can be some confusion if you don't pay attention.

I'm rec-ing it because it is by far one of the most unique Holmes AUs that I have EVER come across. So please read and comment because as amazing this fic is, it has a small number of comments and the author doesn't realize how wonderful the fic really is.
So take a look. You won't regret it.
Happy Reading. ;-)

I am not sure if I should worship you for reccing such a marvelous story or despise you for reccing such a marvelous story ending in a truly evil cliffhanger. It will have to be a little bit of both I'm afraid.

sadly the author can hold out for as long as four months between chapters. T.T But when he/she updates they never disappoint.

"The plot is intricate and pulls you in and in all honesty once you start reading it's hard to stop."

FYI There are now 11 chapters in case you don't know. I agree with you it's amazing and has ignited in me a love for ANY fic where Sherlock and Holmes are sentinel and guide. I am obsessed with this fic.

Unfortunately, I have only found 5 such fics including the fic: Observations on Sentinels & Guides in Victorian London. They are on my delicious account here: http://www.delicious.com/ketami/Sherlock_Holmes+Sentinel+theme%3Acrossover

does anyone know of any other fics that fit this idea of Sherlock and Holmes as Sentinel and Guide?
