Reccer's comments:

So. Kidfic. I'm usually not a particular fan of this genre myself, but I followed a rec to this one and I am SO glad I did! It boggles my mind how a one shot based on a rather cracky prompt developed into something this epic. And I mean epic. I was still thinking about it long after I finished, and with the amount of fic I read, that's saying something.

Not only does the author write pitch-perfect character voices, he/she actually got me to care about this kid (which imo is often the inherent problem with kidfic) AND gave the whole 'verse an overall storyline that had me biting my nails. Moriarty is absolutely chilling!

The only downside is that the last fic has, as of yet, not been posted. The existing stories are all complete, but the last (missing) one was hinted at a lot, so it definitely feels unfinished.
I hope the author will maybe get back to it at some point...

For those of you who are still making a "Kidfic? :/" face, have some quotes from different stories of the verse:

John had done the safe sex talk (in excruciating medical detail). John had done the no drugs talk (Sherlock had wanted to do it, but John didn’t think ‘no cocaine unless you’re really, really bored, and Marijuana doesn’t really count anyway’ constituted a decent anti-drugs talk).
