Hostage John

[faerietayles.livejournal.com]

I just read a story where John was a hostage in a Tesco robbery. Needless to say it didn't end well for the bad guy. And it got me craving hostage John stories. I love stories where John is awesome and already free by the time Sherlock and the coppers get there, but I adore it just as much when he needs to be rescued. I'd prefer stories that don't rehash TBB kidnapping scene... but I'll take it if it is well written. I also don't care which verse it is in. I'll take any!

Complete fic only. Gen, preslash, and friendship/bromance preferred.

Thanks!

Novel Length Amazing Works

[deliajohnson.livejournal.com]

Hi All!

I am after some Epic novel-length Holmes/Watson fics. I have read a lot of the standards, so anything off the beaten path would be great. '09 movie, BBC verse, Canon... I'll take them all!

I'd love a mystery and a first time romance, and I'm particularly interested in any post- Game of Shadows fics-- I haven't read much in that universe since BBC Sherlock came out.

Any and all recs, please!

Thanks in advance,
D.

Hunger Games AU?

[applea.livejournal.com]

Howdy all you lovely people! This one has been stuck in my brain for a bit and it's been buzzin' like a hornet in there. I'm just desperate to find it. It was a Hunger Games AU and John got a really really high score in the testing round because he sliced open his stomach and sewed it back together. Harry was his mentor, and she had a drinking problem. John has a limp from an industrial accident, and he knows so much about the human body because he surgically experimented on himself because he felt that he couldn't ask another person to trust him to do something he wouldn't do on himself. His mother had taught him about medicine. Harry was psychologically messed up after winning and hinted it might be better if he died. When they were going to show their skills to the judges, Harry had suggested he make a paste but John was like "Nope, I'm a BAMF. Because I am John MF Watson." (Ok he didn't actually say that BUT STILL.) I don't think they had gotten out of training by the time I lost it, but I'm desperate to see if this amazing fic has been updated. Can anyone help a gal out? :D
