Title: Against the Tempest
Author: [livejournal.com profile] janeturenne
Pairing: Implied Holmes/Watson
Length: 5,000 words
Rating: PG
Warnings: none
Verse: ACD Books
Author's summary: On the day of Lestrade's retirement, he and Holmes discuss the past and the future.

Reccer's comments:This story does two things beautifully. First, it gives us a glimpse of what the future might hold for our characters after the end of the written cases. Secondly, we get to hear the reasons why Sherlock Holmes often turned to Lestrade instead of some of the others at Scotland Yard. This somewhat hesitant conversation between Lestrade & Holmes about a personal issue is one of my favorite pieces of fanfiction. It's subtle yet touching and very well done.

Title: A Study in Blue
Author: [livejournal.com profile] writingispurdy
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Length: 22,184 words
Rating: PG13
Warnings: mentions of war violence, mentions of suicide
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: On 1st January, 1920, John Watson meets Sherlock Holmes. Jazz Age AU "There is a crater in the middle of Europe, and John Watson had been pulled out of it alive."
Reccer's comments: I'm so happy that this story is now done, so that I can rec it here. By now, y'all may have noticed that I love AUs. There's just something about seeing how events can change given another context. This AU is nothing short of amazing. [livejournal.com profile] writingispurdy takes A Study in Pink and weaves it into Jazz Age London in interesting and sometimes quite surprising ways. Obviously, for the purposes of this story, John is a veteran of WWI, for example. But John is still John...and Sherlock can never be anything other than himself, can he? I really hope that there will be a sequel.
