ACD Holmes/Watson

Hullo All

While Sherlock Holmes is great in any incarnation, I'm a particular fan of the canon, and I've found that between the '09 and the BBC versions, there's a lot to wade through to find any ACD fanfiction. I was wondering if anyone knows of a community dedicated to the originals (I've read Sacrilege back to front). 

Failing that, some recs would be great. Hint: I love anxious Holmes, and I melt at those rare Holmes POV fics. Also, anything Katie will not be new to me, and although Granada fics can fool me, '09 really doesn't. 

Thankyou!

I'm pretty sure I've read just about every cannon H/W story that isn't an AU on Cox and Co... Which probably makes me slightly sad, but oh well.

Thankyou though!

You might want to peek at the AU's as some of them are more "different trousers of time" than "here are the characters in a different milieu". I'm finding that label to be less and less informative these days.

*dances quietly, "ooh, she must have read mine then!"*

Have you read Aragonite over on ff.n? Great Lestrade stuff, although you might want to buy the book for some of the introductions to characters.

I'm so partial to Holmes and Watson that good Lestrade fics are completely lost on me unfortunately.

You probably have a point about the AUs. I read one today which was a few minor changes in the plot of EMPT. We should have a different word for fics that do that... Although ironically, the only Holmes fic I've ever been able to write was an AU.

Hmmm... I'll have to go see which fics were yours.

It's easier finding most of my fics on AO3, although I haven't quite finished archiving everything there.

And yes, about AUs. I swear everyone has a different definition...

I'd say that the one I just read was more of a plot change than a setting change, but who knows.

Also - you're on Sherlock60 too! :)

I am, though I've been pretty quiet. I usually write a lot of drabbles, so that's unusual, but it's been a "meh" year.

Of mine, you might try The Detective Who Cried Wolf for a Holmes p.o.v.

I really liked your fic about Watson's fever.

And I think I've actually read that before - the name rings a bell. I'll go check that one out.
