Hi, Ive been looking for this particulr fic for ages and still cannot find it, it is a quite long one, with multiple chapters, so I shall try to convey what I remember.

It is a first time fic, and starts of with Holmes and Watson in a train or coach on their way to the Holmes estate, which belongs to Mycroft. they talk about what Holmes did during hi 3 year hiatus and he tels a story about relaxing in a stream involving a goat and wanking, although the latter is implied. Anyway, they go to the estate where there is this old lady who obviously cared for holmes when he was young, plus she knows mrs. Hudson. First time stuff happens near a pond when they go riding and there are also the irregulars being given jobs by the holmes brothers when they are old enough. It also has a chapter about Holmes hearing music in his head, and wanders off. This is all set in victorian times and also involves Watson having THE TALK with Mycroft.

Anyway, I hope this makes sense and someone knows where to find it, because I am desperate; it is so amazing! tnx

Hi all, I'm looking for two fics.

The first is Sherlock BBC verse; Sherlock/John first time.  My friend and I were discussing various fics and we both remembered one where Sherlock tries to let John know that he's interested and available, doing things like bringing a man home and kissing him in front of John (who makes a polite withdrawal).  When things finally come to a head Sherlock is honestly shocked that John didn't get his "obvious" signs.

The second is much older (I think at least five years old) and is book/Granada verse.  I'm almost certain it's Holmes/Watson established relationship, but as far as I can recall it's pretty irrelevant whether they're in a romantic relationship or not; the story is about trust.  Basically, Watson is rather prejudiced towards the Irregulars to begin with, until Holmes eventually admits that he was such a child.  He and Mycroft are not biological brothers; they were both street children who were taken under the wing of some rich, educated gentleman,which is why Holmes looks out for the street kids, especially the bright ones like Wiggins.  The story was as much about the growing trust between Holmes and Watson that allowed Holmes to open up about his childhood as it was Holmes' backstory.

Thank you in advance to any and everyone who has a little think ^_^

I just wanted to rec what is possibly the best Holmes AU on the planet. :-D
It's a Holmes/Watson slash fic and in a world loosely based on the sci-fi series Sentinel. It's not a crossover, but Holmes is a sentinel and Watson is a guide. The author used cannon and fannon from the show to expand on the way the sentinel/guide relationship works. It's still in victorian England and the author's dedication to detail is amazing. the story is well paced and LOOOOOOOOOOOOng so far.(WIP) The plot is intricate and pulls you in and in all honesty once you start reading it's hard to stop. But the story is plot heavy and a little wordy so you might have to take a breather in order to get the facts straight because even the smallest details that seem irrelevant come up later.There can be some confusion if you don't pay attention.

I'm rec-ing it because it is by far one of the most unique Holmes AUs that I have EVER come across. So please read and comment because as amazing this fic is, it has a small number of comments and the author doesn't realize how wonderful the fic really is.
So take a look. You won't regret it.
Happy Reading. ;-)

Are there any stories about the the Irregulars and their relationships with Holmes and/or Watson?
I'm particularly looking for protective!Holmes and/or protective!Watson. Maybe one of the irregulars gets hurt, or threatened or abused. I want Holmes and Watson out for blood... and looking after their little urchins.

Thanks ;)

I've just finished reading all of the novels, and I was curious about fic taking place during the events of any of the novels or spanning the novels, or even the stories. Holmes/Watson is preferred, although I would be interested to see anything about minor characters - any of Holmes' clients or the victims of the canon, or the Irregulars. I don't really care about genre, and any rating is fine. Recommendations for any good comms/sites as a starting point for good fic would be appreciated, as well. :)

(First post here, so if my tags are wrong, someone do let me know!)

I'm wondering if there are any fics with stories about the Irregulars.

I'd prefer ones that detail what happens with the boys when they get too old to be Irregulars. There is a line out of Lois McMaster Bujold about how a child, idly playing, can go where adults would be stopped. That's so true. Most of the time adults don't pay that much attention to kids or what they are up to. But at some point the Irregulars would get too big to be ignored by the adults and therefore too old to work for Holmes.

I can't see Holmes just abandoning them, I'm sure he would provide for their further education or apprenticeship or some such.

Thanks in advance!
