Not sure if this will interest you avid Johnlock fans (of which I count myself there, too!) but this woke me out of a dead sleep at Five AM today and I had to get it out. Make of it what you will, it's short.
And once again, this made my heart ache. So wonderful, so sad, so many feels...! Thanks for that one... gotta go and have a little cry now...

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*
Some days ago I loaded all of Quinn Anderson onto my Kindle.
Just finished "Operation Inked".
John has a tattoo, and Sherlock won't rest until he's seen it. Johnlock.
It was fun!!
Short.

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*
Electric pink hand grenade is one of my favorites. I'd never heard the term allodynia before. I just thought I was weirder than usual that sometimes the slightest touch felt like I was being scoured by sand paper.
Good to know that as weird as I am, it's real.

Electric Pink Hand Grenade rated being printed out and put in my favorites binder. Of the tons of fic I've read in the past few months it's one of the small group I would read again.

Mine too. It's one of five that has made it into the (hopefully one day complete) TopTen-fanfics-folder on my kindle.

Oh, a Top Ten folder. Now that's an idea …

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*
How does one get fan fic on their kindle? I have never attempted this.

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*
From Archive of our Own you can download directly to your computer. I have a fanfic folder there.
You choose "Download" and then "MOBI"
I connect my Kindle to the computer and drag the piece onto it. Voila!

Hm...does this only work with Kindles? Because I have a different type of e-reader, and I have been wondering if it would be possible to download fanfictions into it or if that only works on Kindles.

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*
Should work with other readers, too. You should give it a try.
There are at least four different possibilities.
I wouldn't have read that much fanfic if I had to sit in front of the screen all the time.

I have a different reader and it uses the epub-format which is also available on AO3.

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*
Oh, I always did it old school: I copied the fic into an open office document, turned it into a pdf and then emailed it to my kindle address.
Now, let's try it the other way...

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*
I still do it this way when you cannot download the entire story in one go. On AO3 some authors publish chapters as if they were individual stories. But most of the time the download works very well, especially with flagfic. I usually mail it to my Kindle.

Cool. Will have to give it a try. I'd love to carry my favorites in my purse. In case of emergancy you know.

It's tough using only a phone, and occasionally the library computer. I'll have to look into putting files on my nook. (Once I find my charge cord)

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*
Guys, thank you so much for mentioning "Electric Pink Hand Grenade". One of the stories I was totally unaware of, and after you mentioned it here I immediately started reading it... and I'd say it is definitely one of the best, if not the best Sherlock fan fic I've read so far. It completely pulled me in. Such wonderful language:
A slight movement of Sherlock's left hand was enough to catch a dense crease of denim at John's knee: cool and rasping, individual fibres in brilliant complexity as if they were woven of John himself. Wonderful.
or
John's voice was a breaking wave in his ear – a soft susurrus made loud. Yet it was not a bad noise. It did not stab at him like the others: Sunny sand and golden glow – that was John.

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*
For me, that one meant brilliance overload - I couldn't take all these breathtaking images anymore, after 30 pages or so and still so many to go
