H/W fic recs?

[ardenteurophile]

 Holla, f-list!

Does anyone have any good H/W book!verse fic recs? I've finished reading all  katieforsythe 's stuff (LOVE LOVE LOVE) and it's got me in the mood, but because I'm mostly BBC!verse I don't even know where to start.

Any help would be appreciated!

I know I keep pimping it, but do you know the 'Sacrilige' website? One of the classiest sites of slash (even if a little difficult at first to navigate). I found it when I was originally looking for Sherlock slash.

It's here:

There is a _lot_ of amazing fic on here as well as some great resources for emulating ACD's style!

Wheee! Thanks bb, I have an empty weekend so I'm looking forward to fangirling it up a bit <3

I recommend Janeturenne's stuff. She has both BBC and book verse, though she hasn't written bookverse in a while. My favorite bookverse fic is probably Devil'S Calling: http://janeturenne.livejournal.com/43364.html#cutid1

Driftwoodq has good stuff as well. maybe start with this one: http://driftwoodq.livejournal.com/2202.html#cutid1

They're mostly written in semi-ACD style and range a lot in slashiness but there's some really good stuff in there! Enjoy!

PS. One of the most strangely hot ones is Hidden Depths - manages to keep JW straight and yet have one of most graphic sex scenes on the site. I have no idea how the author made it work...

Sorry, that was meant to reply to the previous thread. Damnit!

I'm deeply engrossed in Katie's stuff right now and read it on my Blackberry on the bus to and from work - which always makes me giggle.

I really recommend Gyzym's Stuff. I believe s/he started writing when the 2009 movie came out so it's not strictly ACD universe. However, if you're looking for good Holmes/Watson that isn't BBCverse it's good stuff. I HIGHLY recommend History Repeating Itself. It's a modern tale of Holmes and Watson in college in the U.S.

I also really like LadyLovelace who has amazingly sweet and gentle in-character stories. I'm particularly digging her Holmes/Trevor series since Trevor is often grossly underused as a character.

I'm just now wandering into the ACD area of the fic so if you stumble across some good stuff, feel free to let me know and I'll be sure to return the favor!

OH! And I'm about ready to start this story: The Case of the Dead Man's Secrets. Which, since I haven't read it yet seems silly to rec, but since I LOVED this short gem, here, our minutes grow hours I'm thinking it will be pretty good.

Would you also be interested in recs for fic focusing on the Holmes-Watson relationship that isn't necessarily slashy? Because I can rattle off rather a lot of those.

[ardenteurophile]

Absolutely! I'm very happy with slash or gen, I like their relationship in all its forms <3

I utterly fail at replying in-thread. Sorry about that.
