The Sword in the Something

Dec 04, 2011 21:37

BBC Sherlock

Rating 12 (frankly alarming effects of fiction)

Crack metafic. Blooms84 wrote a hilarious fic Beta Call, in which Mrs Hudson writes RPF. She also made the rash comment that if I ever found her writing Merlin/Sherlock crossover, I should call an ambulance. This seemed more appropriate, somehow...

( Mycroft sighed. It was fortunate that Greg’s texts were no longer monitored, because this one would doubtless have got the security analysts alarmed: )

merlin, mycroft's pov, metafic, crack

I thought I recognized that cherry reference!

this fic made me literally cry with laughter - thank you very much. I loved the cross-purposed exchange about poker and ironing in particular, and “Let me get this clear,” Mycroft said. “There are people who believe that a relationship between John and a talking dragon is sexy?”

Once you start a crack fic, there is always a way of shovelling an irrelevant joke in, and as Blooms84 is the originator of the concept of ironing porn, that one seemed only appropriate. Though I do feel slightly guilty at giving Mycroft a dragon kink (is that better or worse than dinosaurs?)

I really enjoyed this - the image of GCHQ researching Colin and Bradley is just too funny. :-)

I somehow feel that if Mycroft could just work out a way to monetise slash writing, all Britain's economic problems would be solved. As well as using it to bring down foreign governments.("If you develop nuclear weapons, President Ahmadinejad, we may be forced to deploy Sherlock spoilers throughout Iran").

ROFLOL! Well done. Bonus kudos for mentioning the wounded!Lestrade recs list. *is hysterical*

You realise how warped fanfic has made us when you suddenly see something like the Wounded Lestrade list from the outside. Even more worryingly, Bloomie told me there is a Ways to Kill Lestrade Tumblr. (Fortunately it appears to be updated only rarely, because that would be horrible...)

LOL! Then again, whumpage-for-heroism is as old as the Epic of Gilgamesh. ;)

oh Mycroft you only wish you were safe from slashfans thimpressionist December 6 2011, 03:21:22 UTC
