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.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.

Date: 2011-05-15 04:29 am (UTC)I think this story really slipped under the radar. I've been reading it since the beginning, but I've always been surprised at the comment count being on the low-ish side. It's a quality AU, and it's been unfolding slowly enough for quality writing but not so slowly that you forget from entry to entry where the story was up to. No idea why it hasn't been recced around much before now, even with it having been a WIP.
