RDJ!Holmes/Law!Watson Recs

Hi everyone,

I just got into the fandom, and I'm looking for more RDJ!Holmes and Law!Watson fics. I find that most Holmes/Watson fics are BBC-verse, so I'd like some help finding movie-verse fics. I just like fast-talking, bright-eyed RDJ as Holmes and long-suffering Law as Watson. I've read Observations on Sentinels and Guides in Victorian London and These Things Were Promises and loved them. The fics I'm looking for don't have to be epic in length. Anything more than than 10k would be great.

Any movie or book canon recs for a newbie to the fandom are greatly welcomed! I'm open to book canon as long as I can picture RDJ and Law as Holmes and Watson. :)

My long story, "Baker Street: The Sleep of Reason" is a Ritchie-verse H/W fic.

It begins here and continues on my LJ. Sample and see if you like it.

1. "A Walk to Regent's Park"

2. "A Meeting in Piccadilly"
http://gaedhal.livejournal.com/368712.html

3. "A Journey in a Closed Carriage"

The story is complete and available in a pdf in the Files section
at my Yahoo Group. Ask and i'll add you.

I do Ritchieverse; you can try these: http://archiveofourown.org/users/Taz/works?fandom_id=422803

For long-suffering Watson try "Three Men and a Boat."

I want to spread the Ritchie love, too!

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

A Perfectly Ordinary Day (http://archiveofourown.org/works/236411) by zelda_zee is a bit shorter but lovely.

Same goes for The Art of Disguise (http://blackwoolsocks.livejournal.com/1380.html#cutid1) by blackwoolsocks.

Nothing Between Us and the New World (http://archiveofourown.org/works/65662) by ariadnes_string.

I'd say Winter in London (http://w-a-i-d.livejournal.com/748.html) by w_a_i_d falls into the can-be-read-as category but it's simply amazing.

Same goes for Decorum (http://archiveofourown.org/works/97339?view_full_work=true) by loveslashangst.
