Long BBC!Sherlock recs please
Jan. 6th, 2012 05:19 pmI'm going to be going on an 11 hour flight soonish, so I'm on the look out for some nice long fics to put on my kindle for the flight.
I've got Indecorous already, and Infiltrate, and The Progress Of Sherlock Holmes (turns out I'm willing to read first-person narrative when it's the Sherlock fandom). But I need so many more.
Specifically, Sherlock/John, or Sherlock/John/Lestrade poly fics, or Sherlock/John and Lestrade in bromance with them fics. If they're nice and involving, with adventures/crimes/mysteries going on as well as the relationships, all the better. Domestic!fics are good also. AUs are ok (so long as the AU isn't.. too odd - like, I'm not into creature!fic in the slightest, but a fantasy type setting otherwise isn't outside my bounds) though obviously I prefer BBC!canon.
Also, I'm asexual, and have been long searching out all the asexual!Sherlock fics I can find (I have a nice long-ish list now, few of them are long!fic though) and I'm always happy for more, so if you know any nice long ace!Sherlock fics? Yes please.
Basically, I want them long, involving, full of puzzles and relationships - things I can just get totally lost in, to block out the fact that I'm on an aeroplane for 11 hours straight.
Things I dislike: torture!porn (I did read that infamous fic, but I shan't be reading it again - well written or not, it was too much for my triggers to take...) character!death of Sherlock, John, Lestrade or Mycroft. Otherwise, I'm pretty open (and yes, I very happily read NC-17 fic, in fact, I tend to prefer NC-17.)
Thanks all :D

Have you read wordstrings Paradox series? Altogether it is a pretty long story. And it's fantastic: http://wordstrings.livejournal.com/
And maybe check out flawedamythyst as well. She has the long "The Art of Seduction" and then a bunch of great Ace!Sherlock fics. http://flawedamythyst.livejournal.com/371458.html#cutid2
It's not long but one of my favorite Ace!Sherlock fics is etothepii's "Your Moral Crisis is Stupid" http://etothepii.livejournal.com/527.html#cutid2
That's all I can think of for very long epics and there all pretty popular, but there you go.

It's an AU (you said you didn't mind fantasy type setting too much, so hopefully this is alright), and, as the title hints at, a fusion with the "Sentinel" universe. I knew nothing about that series which wasn't a problem at all, because the author builds her universe quite beautifully (though it's nothing too exotic). It's a long, clever, plotty fic, with sub-plots and well developed OCs, full of BAMFuckery on part of Homes and Watson, and drama and love.
