Title: A New Kind of Communication
Author: tartanfics
Pairing/Characters: John/Sherlock, appearances by Lestrade and Sarah
Length: 10,201
Rating: This fic is on AO3 and it's not precisely specified, but I'd rate it a solid PG-13.
Warnings: None, unless character injury bugs you. Definite hurt/comfort vibe.
Verse: Sherlock (BBC)
Author's Summaries: Sherlock texts, Sherlock leaves notes, Sherlock phones John, and he never really says anything.

Reccer's Comments: This story captures, with unbelievable deftness, the strange space that textual communication has come to occupy in modern life. What's not said aloud is often said between the lines, in the metaphorical white-space that we've permitted text messages, IMs, emails, and other forms of written communication to occupy (if I had a penny for every time I've made an admission or an intimation in writing that I would never have done aloud, I'd be rich). The dialogue and characterization are spot on, and the emotional tension builds, rises, and breaks so gracefully that the ending, in spite of not venturing into fully explicit territory, is just as satisfying as the hottest smut you could ask for.

Rating: PG-13 (warning for suicidal themes… no character death)
Verse: BBC
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Status: Complete
Summary: The Box is not that large, really. It scares John sometimes, just how fast it is filling up.

Reccer's Comments: Stories that vividly illustrate emotional pain and the journey out are intense reading, but well worth the investment. This is one such story. It’s powerfully written and emotionally resonant… with a beautiful illustration of how a small shift in thinking can actually be enormous and healing.

Rating: PG-13 or so
Status: complete
Verse: BBC/AU
Pairing: pre- John/Sherlock
Summary: A world in which Sherlock is an artist, not a detective. Though that doesn’t mean he can’t help solve crimes. AU.

Reccer's comments: An example of taking canon and turning it just a little to the left, this story is vividly written and shows the reader just what Sherlock sees in the most incredible way. Sherlock as an artist is tortured and brilliant and so complex, and seeing him through this lens illustrates so much about his character and helps us to understand him.

Title: Transport
Author: [livejournal.com profile] thisprettywren
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Length: ~10,000
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: bondage, sensory deprivation
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: Everything else is just transport.
That’s what he’d told John, and he meant it. But it wasn’t comfortable, this transport of his. It might get him where he needed to go, but sometimes he just needed to get off. Written for this prompt over on [livejournal.com profile] sherlockbbc_fic
Reccer's comments: Even if you have no idea what sensory deprivation kink is, you can’t help but imagine that for someone like Sherlock, for whom the world is very noisy, having your senses blocked off could be a highly gratifying experience. The tale is a slow-burning (but definitely burning) take on John recognizing what Sherlock needs, and the two of them spiraling toward each other through the tortuous pathways of their desires.
