Thanks! Just so I know I've got the right one, is this it? http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6298052/1/The-Road-Less-Traveled

Harriet · May 24, 2013 10:43 pm

Yes. My memory is getting worse and worse, obviously

SilverMoonDragonB · May 24, 2013 10:45 pm

Ok, thank-you for the suggestion! I'll get to reading it right away! I predict a long period of reading lots and lots and lots of Sherlock and John fanfiction ahead....

Mattlocked · May 25, 2013 10:31 am

Oh, I've read that one, too, and I love it!!

Actually, I have an "ivyblossom"-folder on my Kindle and I think I've read them all. (so hard to remember after some months..... )
The Quiet Man is also very recommendable!

@Mattlocked. The Quiet Man eh? Well I'll give it a read! Thanks

Oh dear...I've across another Jonlock fanfic I want to read, "The Heart In The Whole", now I don't know which one to read first! That one, or "The Quite Man"...gah! They both look good, hmmm....

Harriet · May 26, 2013 2:48 pm

I have also a way too full reading list
Glad you enjoyed it

At the moment I'm reading Sherlock Holmes' Diary by errantcomment. General audience, funny, wild.
Author calls is a "fusion for Sherlock and Bridget Jones' Diary". Haven't read the later, so
I'm quite fond of fluff, angst and hurt/comfort as in The Road, but offer me a good little comedy, and I will never say no.
This is such comedy

Read Quiet Man, it will knock your socks off. I had to read it twice!

I will soon! I just finished reading "The Heart In The Whole" ...it was awesome , I was going to read "The Quiet Man" (I now notice I mispelled that earlier, stupid typo >.<), but now I see another Johnlock fanfic written by the same person who wrote "The Heart In The Whole" and "The Road Less Travelled"...gah! Same dillemma again! Still...I am blazing through this fics really fast, so I will get them ALL eventually ...Sherlock fans really are an awesome fandom, one I am proud to be a part of!

Ah yep Verity Burns' fics are pretty good The masterlist isn't going anywhere so read where you fancy and when your trail runs cold you can come back here for more recs!

I'm in the middle of The Paradox Series by wordstrings:

http://archiveofourown.org/series/28906

It is breathtaking and disturbing and touching all at the same time. I think she (?) is extremely talented, and in this series she paints a very dark picture of Sherlock. He's always on the verge of being insane, but so is John, and it fits perfectly.
You should read all the warnings, though!

I love wordstrings' work. She's also writing "All the best and brightest creatures" I recommended elsewhere and does the vintage slash stories (thanks for the term, KP) as Katie Forsythe. But true, it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Schmiezi · May 30, 2013 10:49 am

Oh, yes, I'm following "All the best and brightest creatures", but have not read the last chapter yet. She's fantasic.

Harriet · May 30, 2013 10:55 am

When you have finished it, could you let us know if it is worth reading without the last part?

Schmiezi · May 30, 2013 11:03 am

Of course. It's so faszinating that I'll surely finish it soon!

SilverMoonDragonB · June 3, 2013 12:29 am

I've just finished reading yet another AMAZING Sherlock fan fic, greatly enjoyed it! Now I've come across another one I'm thinking about reading, "Ten Days" by Engazed...I'm assuming some of you here have read it and I'm wondering if it's any good? No details in case I do decide to read it, I'm just curious

SusiGo · June 3, 2013 7:07 am

"Ten Days" is very good but also very disturbing. I recommended it some time ago but with a very big warning for torture and violence.

Wholocked · June 3, 2013 8:43 am

Ten Days was indeed very good; but as Susi said it's rather disturbing and intense. The torture John is put through is described quite graphically.

Mary Me · June 3, 2013 8:53 am

I came over this story again a few days ago. I appreciate this author's writing style a lot. It's so shocking but you can't stop reading.
