I. First up, a few fic recs. I've been tentatively setting foot into Sherlock fandom, looking for fic, but I don't think it'll work out. And I figured out why that is: I don't actually ship Sherlock/John that much. I like how they are in the show, I don't think either of them can have a healthy relationship with someone else at this point, I even like the idea of John being a bit confused about his feelings for Sherlock. But from the moment they start making out or declaring their love for each other I hit backspace. Idk.
But I did read two fics this last week that I loved, both from authors I already knew (so I didn't have to search through comms and archives). Neither of them is Sherlock/John (not more than the show is, anyway) - just as a warning ;)
- The Anatomist by
rosa_acicularis. Molly Hooper and Jim Moriarty are psychopathic twins. Basically. Written post-S1, Sherlock is only a side character and John hardly appears. This fic blew me away, so give it a chance even if it sounds weird to you! It's a collection of short snippets from the two of them growing up together and becoming who they are. Warning for disturbing imagery and language.

earlgreytea68. The link goes to the third story, the others are linked in the description. Post-Reichenbach, canon compliant.
This is, so far, the story I wanted to read after the episode. It's more or less about Mycroft stalking Lestrade tbh :P It's just...the two of them talking, mostly, but it's great and the characters are incredibly in character. The second one has John in it too, and is pretty heartbreaking because of that. :/
II. I wrote another ficlet, this time for the Villainesses Comment Ficathon (go look, it's awesome!)
Title With my keeper (I clean up)
Fandom Rebecca (yes, the 1940s Hitchcock movie)
Characters Mrs. Danvers (/Rebecca)
Prompt i am the concierge; chez-moi, honey / won't let you in for love nor money / my home, my joy / i'm barred and bolted
Rating PG
she keeps the house clean for Rebecca
