Ignore me, I'm in shock. Look! I have a blanket.

Drank the Sherlock Kool-Aid this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed episode 1, "Study in Pink". Mycroft is perfectly unctuous and slithery, but more than that, I loved that bit at the end where Watson is waiting patiently, just outside the police-line, with a wee mousey look, all, JUST IN CASE YOU NEED ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, I'LL JUST BE, UM, HERE, FOR

Sherlock is amazing!

This is one of my absolute fav slash fics:

SQUEE! Thank you for the rec! I enjoyed that quite a bit :)

[valis2]

It's such a delicious show. I love it so much! I've only watched the first four but I've been thinking about it quite a bit since. <3 Watson so much.

[oddmonster]

I'm trying to move ahead with other eps in S1, but am hampered by the fact that J appears to want to watch the show as well...

[valis2]

I was so happy that G loved the show, too! He keeps reminding me that we need to catch up. <3

Gatiss et al have done an amazing job with this series. As far as fic goes, there's so much of it now that I don't read any without a rec. I'll be watching this post to see which stories people have enjoyed most.

[oddmonster]

Gatiss is so puzzling to me, because he's a great actor (loved League of Gentlemen!) and I love the things he writes for the screen (this, Agatha Christie's Poirot), but then I couldn't get into his novel at all. Hm...

And another sucked in by this show...

Recs... hmm. The first one that comes to mind is Two Two One Bravo Baker by abundantlyqueer. It's an absolutely gorgeous AU. Let me find a summary: Captain John Watson of 40 Commando, the Royal Marines, is assigned to protect and assist Sherlock Holmes as he investigates what appears to be a simple war atrocity in Afghanistan. An intense attraction ignites between the two men as they uncover a conspiracy that threatens everything they’ve ever known, but Sherlock is as much hunted as hunter, and everyone close to him is in deadly danger. Can he solve the case in time to save himself and John? (This one also includes some seriously gorgeous fanart.)

As for the rest of my bookmarks - apart from even more AUs, most of it features stuff you can't read yet unless you don't mind massive spoilers for EVERYTHING.

[oddmonster]

Hm! Usually I am pro-spoiler all the time, but I'm actually glad I hadn't been spoiled for the ep I watched this weekend. Can I get by on more fics if I can zip my way through the rest of S1? Or are all the spoilers for S2, end of, which I have heard of as a sort of chorus of lamentations across the internet?

[seraphina_snape]

Okay, so I went through my bookmarks and I think I've picked all the ones without spoilers. (But check the headers/info anyway in case I missed some, okay?)
