Must-reads

[katikat.livejournal.com]

I've poked around the canon fandom and I'm a big fan of the Sherlock fanfics but I haven't found many good fics based on the RDJ movies. Any tips? What are the must-reads in this fandom? I would prefer gen or Holmes/Watson slash.

Have you looked on holmeswatson09? That's where most of the Holmes/Watson fics based on the RDJ movies is.

Here are a few recs:

Nothing Between Us and the New World by ariadnes_string
Genre: casefic, romance
Rating: R
Summary: An old army buddy convinces Holmes and Watson to investigate a series of robberies at his inn on the Cornish coast. Watson is sure Holmes has only agreed to cheer him up after Mary’s death, but there may be more going on under the surface.


The Art of Undressing by wave_of_sorrow
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Holmes undresses Watson.
Spoilers/Warnings: Rimming
A/N: Fill for a prompt on the kinkmeme. The request was for Holmes standing behind Watson as he undresses him. In my mind this will forever be The Fill About Holmes Undressing Watson That Somehow Ended In Rimming.

Watson to the Rescure by random_nexus & janeturenne
Rated: NC-17
Summary: What would have happened if Watson had been the one to 'rescue' Holmes from the bed in the hotel?

Observations on Sentinels and Guides in Victorian London. http://archiveofourown.org/works/224907/chapters/340216 I'm not sure if you'll want it, because it's an AU, but does do the RDJ verse. It's my most favorite Holmes fic ever. It's a vague cross with the television show The Sentinel. Basically, there are people called sentinels with heightened senses, that can see and hear more than most people. Sherlock is obviously one of those. But every sentinel eventually needs to bond with a guide, who can help keep his senses steady....
H/W slash.

I would recommend reading everything by candle_beck, to start.

[katikat.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I think I remember her writing in another fandom I used to be a part of...

[zelda-zee.livejournal.com]

IMO, everything candle_beck writes is brilliant. Her Holmes fic is here (http://candle-beck.livejournal.com/125810.html#cutid4).

Winter in London (http://w-a-i-d.livejournal.com/748.html) by w_a_i_d (mind the warning).

Broken Substitutes (http://zarah5.livejournal.com/56942.html) by zarah5.

[liz-mo.livejournal.com]

I second "Broken Substitutes" SO hard!

[katikat.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Thank you so much!

[zelda-zee.livejournal.com]

Actually, now that I think of it, Winter in London might be book canon or Granada, but regardless, it's a really good fic.

I don't mind. I love all the universes! And since you thought it was worth checking out, I'll definitely read it.
