Girl!Watson/Holmes in original timeline

[lillian-raven.livejournal.com]

Hi

After I read "Where the Story Ends" and "Dearest Harry" I have a craving for fics where Holmes meets girl!Watson in the original timeline. As a pairing please only Holmes/Watson but gen with flirting would also be good.

I really hope that there are fics like this... Thanks in advance. :)

Books

I found out that it's quite hard to find an engaging Sherlock Holmes book. Most authors use SH only as a platform for the introduction of their own Mary/Marty Sues and twist Holmes and Watson into a pretzel to fit them their OCs (Laurie R. King, I'm looking at you) or they make Holmes a bastard and Watson an idiot (like Val Andrews did in "The Torment of Sherlock Holmes").

But I love books that focus on Holmes and Watson's relationship or show it in a very unusual, intriguing way. So far, the best books I've come across are Anthony Horowitz's "The House of Silk" - a wonderful, wonderful example of what Holmes and Watson's friendship should be like! - and Neil Gaiman's "A Study in Emerald" - which made me crave to find out more about Holmes and Watson of that world!

So, would you be so kind, my dear fellows, and rec me a book you particularly liked? A book that you felt showed Holmes and Watson's friendship in a wonderful light? An author who really "got" Holmes and Watson?

Fandom!AU

Hello, everybody. I was wondering if anyone knew of a fic where Sherlock and John were involved in fandom? It's been at least a year since I read it, and unfortunately all I really remember about it is that Anderson is a troll of some kind, John and Sherlock are very flirty, and a lot of the fic (if not all) is done in screenshots on the characters having conversations via LJ comments. I also believe that it's either '09!verse or BBC. Ring any bells at all?

Thanks muchly!

Watson self-harm?

Any universe (although 09 is my favorite)

I have seen very little of this and would really really really like to read some, any really

I'm open to rather liberal interpretations of this as well! (i.e. eating disorders, drug use, etc) self-destructive!watson in general would be great--even just watson not taking care of himself!

and extra points for angry!holmes at watson's lack of regard for himself :3

thank yous!!!
