um, my own, so I can't speak to the quality, old and from the first movie, but fwiw:

A Cold Night Out (plenty of Watson!whump over there, if you're interested)

BLESS YOU, MY CHILD.

I will take this to bed with me and devour it like a cinnamon donut. *\o/*

Thank you.

I will ask my newly obsessed, er, focused on RDJ/Holmes friend to see what she has on her list and be back with linkies... :-)

dragons, why iz you in need of the comforts? Are you/horse!Sam/FIS/job/friends doing okay?

*worries*

[pdragon76]

Thank you! I'm fine. Well, I'm not fine, but I will be. No permanent damage done. Horse!Sam is fine. Work is fine. I have many wonderful people in my life. To complain would be impertinence. I am just suffering from a piddly acute misery at this precise juncture. No more or less than is my, or another other's, lot in life to bear.

Thanks for the concern. I will await the linkies!

[clarity159]

Glad that you are/will be fine. *hug* Hope totally fine comes sooner than later

[pdragon76]

Thanks for the link!

Sure, she can PM me. I'm not in any way involved in that fandom, tbh, but I did love the films.

Lady Dragonz!

I come bearing gifts!
This is an AU (I know, I know but give it a try!) where in Sherlock is not a pompous detective but he is still a genius(and still pompous) and he's still Holmes and there is whump a plenty at one point!

Alas it is slash so if this be not your thing it will be very sad because this story despite the AU is BLOODY BRILLIANT and not to be missed.

History, Repeating Itself By the lovely and talented gyzym
Here is her description : "John Watson is a med student, a war veteran, and, by and large, a fairly sensible person. He had every chance to run."

Very funny, very USTy and tremendously well written.

Thank you! I'm not generally a slash reader, but there's an argument to be made that it's practically canon in those flicks. So if it's in character, then whatevs. Drop your daks, boys, bring on the cocks.

*waves them onstage, makes popcorn*

[jesseofthenorth]

I am not generally a slash reader (much) myself but these two make it almost impossible. I mean seriously. BBC Sherlock? RDJ's Holmes. The Bloody BOOKS! The slash practically writes itself.

Soooo, I have been dying for good Game of Shadows fic, but it's so hard to find the goods in new fandoms.

This is the only one I loved enough to save so far: http://archiveofourown.org/works/313348

Meets all your requirements. Does have an OT3 (which works quite well here, though personally wouldn't have thought so to start).

Hope the hunt's succesful and the h/c will make you feel better. It often works for me too.

[pdragon76]

Thanks for the link! That was really well-written, enjoyed it muchly.

And yes, I don't have the heart to go hunting for decent Holmes!whump in that fandom. Dishearteningly huge and my brief forays into it have yielded very little in the way of quality gen!Holmes!whump, which is really all I'm after right now. I mean, I totally get why the slash abounds, because it abounds in the canon also, but I just kinda want some freakin' Holmes!whump right now, not the pr0ns.

That being said, excellent writing is excellent writing, and that was very, very sound writing. :) I hate to sound extremely lazy, but I basically am, so if you find anything else in your travels, could I pain you to send it my way? I'll do likewise, if I find anything I think might appeal.

[selene_13]

Will do, just a fair warning that I am extremely lazy too. :) I too just want the Holmes whump: I'll take the het/slash if it's a good yarn, but I really just want the h/c. But it's hard to find anything, with literally a hundred of years of fanon and the current spike with BBC Sherlock also (though I enjoy that one too).

What we really needs is someone who loves exactly the same thing, and has built a huge rec list: so someone who isn't lazy. :)

[embroiderama]

Oh hi, I have no recs for you but I was randomly thinking, "Where has the dragons been?" and came over to see. I hope you're doing well! :)
