87 words? Mattlocked, Mattlocked, sooo busy, poor you

Mattlocked · March 17, 2013 10:24 pm

Fine, if 87 are the only words since January...........

Harriet · March 17, 2013 10:28 pm

In the time you spent discussing it, you might have read the thing as well

SusiGo · March 17, 2013 10:29 pm

Come on, read it!

Mattlocked · March 17, 2013 10:33 pm

It was more general, how you manage to read all this fanfic.
UNDERSTAND?
What is it like in your ........... etc. etc.

Harriet · March 17, 2013 10:35 pm

Well, this was a coincidence... I subscribed to Ivyblossom's blog via RSS and got a post today that implied going somewhere else where I found this. See?

Uh, eh, NO, it seems I don't manage - I don't manage at all

Mattlocked · March 17, 2013 10:38 pm

Thank you, now I feel better.

KeepersPrice · March 17, 2013 11:05 pm

Thanks for printing it out Harriet! Sherlock - that egotistical bastard!

I started avoiding all Johnlock related stories, then I skimmed over the more explicit parts if the plot was good, then I started reading it BECAUSE it was Johnlock, now I'm about to get romantic in the next story I'm writing. Thank you!!!

No, thank YOU. You just made my day.

Here it comes, be aware of getting right into scene:

'Oh...Sherlock' John pants out, feeling like he was going to explode.

'God' Sherlock bit out, head twisting and turning on the pillow. 'Harder, there...I can take it'

John thrust in harder and tried very hard not to come as he felt Sherlock contract around him.

'feck...Sherlock!' Sherlock almost wailed as he came.

John paused, feeling his head spin.

'Did you...Did you just call out your own name as you came?'

Sherlock looked up at him, eyes lidded and blissed-out. 'Yes. Doesn't everyone?'

LOL Yes, Mr. Holmes, everyone calls out "Sherlock" when they come.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! *collapses in mad giggles, wiping at eyes* That is too much and just right, all at the same time. *still smiling*

By Imusic. Probably the shortest we had so far, excplicit, the punchline should not be missed!

(Scroll down until you see Imusic's lines...)

Hey Harriet, the link took me to Livejournal, and I clicked on "over 14" but then it didn't take me to the story. I wonder what's wrong. Guess I'll try again later. You have me intrigued about that punchline.

Can't open it either.

EDIT: I read it now. My GOD, am I blind........

Thanks, good to know it's complete. I had trouble following it but now I can read the final chapters.

re: Saving Sherlock
Once I started that yesterday, I could not stop reading it. I was really skeptical going in, but it is worth the time, it's very well done. Even using lines from many of the episodes in a new light. Really kept me hooked throughout every single chapter. I've never read an AU that I've liked as much as this one (except for the Leading Man story).

Got a new one for us! Recommended by one/two of the fic authors I follow on Twitter. I can't believe we've missed it thus far - it's utterly delightful

Winters Delights
(Explicit) Sherlock takes John home for Christmas to meet the extended Holmes family.

And there's another, No Bed is Narrow, written by another author but based on Winters Delights which is also delightful! (Yes, pun intended)

I tend to exclude the Christmas stories when I go looking for fics but maybe I should stop doing that - these are wonderful!

I knew it would be loved. I'm not a fan of AUs, either. I think I like it because it's not that much an AU, just the fact that Greg is a teacher.

I agree, it's really not that far from his personality, at least in my head canon!

I finished this over the weekend and really enjoyed it. Her young Sherlock is quite 'Aspergers' but really wonderful. I loved watching John and Sherlock's relationship grow from adolescent puppy love into the love of a lifetime. Mycroft as the constantly worried, responsible, devoted older brother was well done too. Not sure I was all that crazy about the Mycroft/Lestrade pairing - but for those that are into it, fine. No real quibbles because all the characters were strong and well written. I give this one kudos.
