Fics I Read & Loved: April 2019

You can find the March list here.

I have been entrenched in the Sherlock fandom for these past eighteen months, but lately, I am enraptured by the show Hannibal. At the very end of this list is a very short list of recommended Hannibal AUs. You do not need to have watched the show, though it helps to envision the stories, of course.

Now, onward to what we’re really here for: Johnlock and Mystrade.

I Will Take Care of You by SailorChibi. Johnlock. Teen. 16,664 words. This one is adorable, and I think we’re all here for BAMF John. John finds Sherlock on his sofa, badly injured and delirious. Which is a shock, considering Sherlock’s death and all. John picks up where Sherlock left off in dismantling the last strands of Moriarty’s web.

That Sudden Flood of Joy by aplidell. Johnlock. Explicit. 7,124 words. Wonderful short story where John has married, then realizes his big mistake. The build up is fantastic.

The Order of Time by randomscientist. Mystrade. Teen. 5,555 words. Greg travels through time, and meets Mycroft as a young person. Wonderfully romantic story.

In the Space of a Breath by Mice. Mystrade. Teen. 8,318 words. Mycroft is caught in the bombing of a building, and tries to navigate a safe way out of the precarious structure. Greg arrives on the scene and awaits word. Established Mystrade.

Afraid of the Light by hippocrates460. Johnlock. Explicit. 12,063 words. This story is so, so lovely. Greg gently but firmly calls John out on some behavior, and John finds himself on a little journey to the center of truth.

British Racing Green by starsandstitches. Mystrade. Mature. 10,260 words. A fun fic with some flirty behavior between our boys when a chance encounter on the road gives them the opportunity to pursue more.

Knowing by bigblueboxat221B. Mystrade. Teen. 9,038 words. Greg is used to getting kidnapped, but this time, it’s different.

London Gods by a_different_equation. Johnlock. Explicit. 11,092 words. If you like American Gods, here’s your fusion! Sherlock is a cab driver and djinn who does not grant wishes.

Lightning and Sea Glass by 221b_careful_what_you_wish_for. Johnlock. Explicit. 18,280 words. This is a really lovely story inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Sherlock is the monster. John is the creator’s assistant.

Numerics by Hastalux. Mystrade. Explicit. 5,800 words. Hot! Mycroft stumbles onto a previously unknown fact about Greg, and he can’t escape his thoughts on it.

No Matter the Form by hoomhum. Teen. 4,299 words. All the fluff right here. Werewolf fluff.

Negotiable by eyebrowofdoom. 00Q. Explicit. 35,338 words. Oops, how did this one get in here? I blame @savvyblunders. This is a wonderful fic if your tastes run to Bond/Q. I have never seen the movies, and still enjoyed this very much!

And like all my other monthly recs of 2019, I have attached my 2018 list as well.

Screw Your Courage series by blueink3. Johnlock. Explicit. 153,439 words. Sherlock is a Shakespearean actor with few prospects left. John Watson is a star of musical theatre. Both are cast in an all-male cast of MacBeth, as the title role and his Lady. And they’re not fans of each other...

The shape of the world around us by Salambo06. Johnlock. Explicit. 15,058 words. Sherlock is a botanist who journeys out into the woods. He doesn’t expect the lumberjack, but then, there it is.

carrying up his morning tea by darcylindbergh. Johnlock. Explicit. 34,504 words. Sherlock and John haven’t spoken for two years. The death of a much loved mutual acquaintance brings them back into one another’s orbit. This is a stunning story of two estranged men finding their way.

a vein of frost by Zingiber. Johnlock. Explicit. 58,023 words. John and Rosie are living at Baker St, where Sherlock helps to coparent the young Watson. He comes to realize that he’s enamored with John, who has decided to get back into the dating game. John is on the precipice of telling Sherlock something important, but a strange case steals their attention.

Excultus by Mottlemoth. Mystrade. Explicit. 314,721 words. Greg Lestrade works as a DI in 23-rd century London for Cross-Human Relations at Scotland Yard. Mycroft Holmes is the head of Criminal Psychology. This is one of my favorite stories ever in this fandom.

A Man of Honour by Mottlemoth. Mystrade. Explicit. 26,767 words. Set as a medieval AU in the East End verse, but can definitely be read as a standalone. Fantastic story about Sir Gregory Lestrade’s capture by the enemy Marquess.

The Bee & Bonnet by belovedmuerto. Johnlock. Mature. 15,438 words. John Watson goes home from Afghanistan to save the family business. He hires an interesting man, Sherlock Holmes, to be his brewer. Hopefully it works out.

An Experiment in Apathy series by belovedmuerto. Johnlock. Explicit. 28,701 words. This is a really interesting story - John is an empath, Sherlock and John find their way to each other, and there is a side of Mystrade.

The Crooked Thing by bookjunkiecat. Johnlock. Mature. 9,023 words. John is watching his wedding video with Rosie, and he sees something he’s never noticed before. Question is, what can he do about it? Will he do anything about it?

The Burning of the Leaves by blueink3. Johnlock. Mature. 15,915 words. This is an absolutely gorgeous story. Sherlock, John, and Rosie visit Major Sholto for lunch. Sherlock knows he can’t compete with Sholto for John’s affections, so he tries to content himself with loving Rosie and letting the two men alone.

Stood in History by philalethia. Johnlock. Explicit. 18,738 words. Sherlock discovers the wedding ring in John’s drawer. Shenanigans ensue.

That Partitioning of the Things of Youth by wearitcounts. Johnlock. Explicit. 35,354 words. Victor Trevor appears out of nowhere, and John isn’t too happy. Also, the fake relationship trope comes into play!

Here’s the Hannigram, y’all. No need to have watched Hannibal to enjoy any of these fics.

A Valued Client by Mottlemoth. Hannigram. Explicit. 3,956 words. Will Graham is a very special barber with a very special client. Barber AU.

Chine by gryvon. Hannigram. Explicit. 10,011 words. Will Graham tells Jack Crawford no on his first invite into a case. He meets Hannibal through a mutual friend, and they date. Hannibal is still a cannibal. Season 1 AU/canon divergence.

The Substitute by Devereauxs_Disease. Hannigram. Explicit. 10,502 words. Will is ill in the hospital for two weeks. Hannibal takes over teaching his classes, and brings him homecooked food. Will’s not too happy about how things are going, and is kind of a dick. Season one AU.

A Particular Affinity by louise_lux. Hannigram. Explicit. 6,532 words. Hannibal has hyperosmia. Will decides to exploit this.

Ethics & Aesthetics by fragile-teacup. Hannigram. Explicit. 106,317 words. A Pride and Prejudice AU! Will is an omega with several sisters, and Hannibal is an alpha aristocrat new in town.

Overcoming by purefoysgirl. Hannigram. Explicit. 547,570 words. Listen, I rarely read A/B/O, but this story...it’s SO GOOD. And then I read Ethics & Aesthetics, also good, and then I realized I was likely ignoring lots of stories (I mean I’ve read The Gilded Cage because it was by a favorite author, but for the most part I skip omegaverse) that could be very good. Overcoming is fucking amazing. Regency AU, where Will is an omega who meets with only abuse in his own home until his father tricks Hannibal Lecter into marrying him. Lecter also hates omegas. The angst is crazy to start with, but it gets soo, so good. And there’s love, there’s real love.

Happy Thanksgiving

This year I am thankful for our tireless fic writers. Every night I come home to Johnlock, like reading the same story, but brand new, all over again. That's all I ever wanted from fiction.

So thank you! In no particular order (well, order of bookmarked), here are all of the authors that have enchanted me this year. I’ve only been reading fic since s4, so I don’t know many of you. I also don’t know how to tag you, so I hope these links work okay.

Keep writing, you magical storytellers! I know there are people I missed or wrote twice, but I plan to post more recs soon.

Hiya Steph! Out of curiosity, do you have any POC Johnlock?? Diversity in any kind of media always gives me warm fuzzies, tbh. Lots of love!

Hi Lovely!

Ah, hmm, I feel terrible because I KNOW that there is quite a few and their names are escaping me. I want to say that apliddell’s femlock stuff is intentionally written as POC characters, but I CAN’T confirm since I haven’t gotten a chance to read them yet, but snippets I’ve read on xyr blog or fanart of xyr fics I BELIEVE it was for xyr femlock stories? Regardless, Liddy is a POC and a wonderful author for HP, GO and BBCS so do check out xyr work!

Otherwise, I know that That Partitioning of the Things of Youth by wearitcounts has a POC Victor Trevor :)

That said, guys, please PLEASE do rec me some diverse fics and authors <3 I would love to check them out!

Risotto by Richefic (K+, 2,153 w. || Friendship, Angst, Misunderstandings, Apologies) – The first time that John cooks dinner for Sherlock is almost the last.

John Watson is a doctor, a war hero, a husband, and the only one in the world who can soften Sherlock’s heart.

Bored Games by SparksMayFly (K, 3,492 w. || Humour, Friendship, Cluedo / Board Games, Big Brother Mycroft) – Sherlock asks if he can take Reverend Green in for interrogation. John explains that’s not how the game works.

Jukebox by standbygo (T, 3,990 w. || Fluff, Singing/Music, Sherlock’s Mind Palace, Hurt/Comfort, Humour, Friends to Lovers, First Kiss) – After the music halls of Sherlock’s mind palace get damaged by accident, John learns that Sherlock never forgets a song. Even the ones he’d rather forget. But the random singalong brings some unexpected benefits.

No Good Without You by textsandscones (T, 4,021 w. || Case Fic, Sherlock’s Violin, Dancing, Soppy Fluff) – A diverting new case surrounding musicians and stolen instruments captures Sherlock’s attention, the consequences of which lead both detective and doctor to see one another in a different light. Part 1 of Prompt Fills

Breakfast, acronyms and brotherhood by Rose de Sharon (K+, 4,074 w. || TBB Fic, Friendship/Bromance, Hurt/Comfort, Protective John, Fluff) – Set after The Blind Banker: my take of Sherlock and John’s conversation over breakfast. S/J friendship, bromance, no slash.

The Care and Keeping of Your Mad Genius by Janieshi (T, 4,553 w. || Post-TGG, Friendship, Anxious/Worried Sherlock, Light Humour/Teasing, Alternating POV, Cranky Sherlock) – If he hadn’t been so focused on holding the bastard still, John would have laughed aloud. This maniac really thought John was the pet in this dynamic?

Welcome Home, John by slashscribe (G, 5,504 w. || Post-S3, Angst, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Awkwardness, Stabbed Sherlock, Protective Sherlock, Panic Attack (Sherlock), Self Esteem Issues, Love Confessions, First Kiss) – When John moves back to 221B, he thinks he’s the broken one, but after a while, it becomes clear that he might not be correct.

Rel., PWP / Porn With Feelings, John’s Beard / Beard Kink, Roleplay, Love Declarations, Banter, Rimming, Anal, Domestic Fluff / Bliss, Idiots in Love, Emotional Lovemaking, Pet Names, Obsessive Sherlock, Sherlock POV, Bottomlock, Cranky Sherlock) – John grows a beard. Sherlock really likes it. Part 1 of Consulting Husbands

On Favors and Keeping Score by Ewebie (G, 7,622 w. || Hurt/Comfort, Sick Fic, Fluff, John Whump) – John woke up to the horribly unpleasant sound of his clock alarm. Which meant he’d slept through his phone’s alarm. And for a moment he glared blearily at the noisemaker before smacking at it with his palm. Ugh, he felt like rubbish. The back of his throat was burning with the irritation that heralded a proper dose, his nose was threatening to drip every few seconds, and he had the uncomfortable flush that normally suggested a fever. Nothing high, just uncomfortable. Nothing deadly, just irritating. Nothing worth calling in sick with, just a full day of discomfort in the face of other people’s discomfort. It was going to be a day where he was forced to bite his tongue from telling people off. “You’re not as sick as I am, so off you pop.” Part 7 of Tumblr Shorts

Speak My Language by Itsallfine (T, 7,479 w. || Thanksgiving, Love Languages, Love Confessions, First Kiss) – When Mrs. Hudson introduces John and Sherlock to the concept of the five love languages, Sherlock descends into a dark mood and John’s curiosity gets the better of him. What is Sherlock’s love language, and why does the whole concept set him so on edge? Part 1 of A Holiday Triptych

The Name Game by ItsClydeBitches221B (K, 8,958 w. || Humour, Family, Platonics / Friendship, Sort-of Parentlock, John/Mary, Mary is Nice, Five and Ones, Baby Watson, Mycroft Loves Baby Watson) – The names that baby girl Watson comes up with for her extended family. Or: how everyone—Watsons, Holmes, and others alike— just learned to give up and embrace their weirdness.

How To Give Your Boyfriend Who Doesn’t Know He’s Your Boyfriend the Best Valentine’s Day Ever byunicornpoe (T, 9,832 w. || Valentine’s Day, Fluff and Crack, Soft Sherlock, POV Sherlock) – Sherlock is pretty sure that John Watson is his boyfriend. He’s also pretty sure that John doesn’t know it. But with a little help from a magazine, some friends, three crepes, five dates, one awesome CD, and a stalker van, John is bound to realize just in time for Valentine’s Day.

A Is For Aftermath by ElvendorkInfinity (T, 10,567 w. || Injury / Whump, Hurt/Comfort, Friendship/Pre-Slash/Bromance/Platonics, Hallucinations, Introspection, Insecure / Worried John, Big Brother Mycroft, Alternating POV, Anxious Sherlock, Self-Deprecating, Mildly Possessive Sherlock, 3G Moment) – John is still hallucinating, Sherlock cannot sleep, and Lestrade has a new case for them. But will life at 221B ever be able to return to normal? Epilogue to M is for Moriarty.

Shuteye Shenanigans by Ayakae (K+, 13,263 w. || Post-TRF, Friendship / Epic Bromance, John’s Nightmares, Angsty Fluff, Bed Sharing, Humour, Cuddles, Taking Care of Each Other, Domestics) – John Watson has never slept with Sherlock Holmes. Never ever ever. And never will, thank you very much. Well, there was that one time, but John didn’t count that. It was completely different, just like the second time it happened. And the third. And the fourth. Epic bromance, but it can be read as pre-slash if you wish.

Hope for Heroes by Richefic (K+, 16,887 w. || Post-TGG Fic, Introspection / Flashbacks, Friendship/Epic Bromance, Hurt/Comfort, Worried/Anxious Sherlock, Sherlock Admires John, BAMF John, John Deduces, Fancy Party, John’s Self Esteem, Domestics) – In the final moments of “The Great Game” Holmes hopes he will have the chance to tell his flatmate that he was wrong. Heroes do exist after all and the one in front of him is called Dr John Watson.

Through the Clouds by Mazarin221b (E, 20,004 w. || Retirement, Sussex, Bees, Home Improvement, First Time, Romance) – Sherlock takes a remarkably early retirement at 47, and convinces John that a change of pace would do them both good. They buy an old cottage on the South Downs, and exchange their nonstop life in Baker Street for quiet contemplation, bee studies, and book writing. They might go completely insane, but sometimes it takes stepping outside of the life you’re living to find the life you want. Part 1 of Through The Clouds

Chaperones by MissDavis (T, 34,114 w. || 11 Years Post-S4, Fake Relationship, Parentlock, Disney World, Bed / Room Sharing, Friends to Lovers, Fluff, First Kiss, Obsessive Sherlock, Insecure John) – Right. Of course. Everyone assumed they were a couple and no one would question it. John put his elbows up on the table so he could rest his head in his hands. “You want to pretend to be a couple so we can chaperone a trip to Disney World with Rosie’s class and you won’t have to share a room with a stranger?” “Exactly.” Sherlock beamed at him. “Don’t worry about the cost. The Birmingham case last month paid more than enough to cover expenses for all three of us.”

The Book of Silence by SilentAuror (E, 60,056 w. || S4 Fix It / Post S4, Virgin Sherlock, Rosie / Parentlock, Domesticity, Fluff, Praise Kink, Sex Toys, First Person POV) – As spring blooms in London, John and Sherlock begin to take new cases and cautiously negotiate this new phase of life with John living at Baker Street again. Despite how well it’s all going, John struggles to forgive himself for the way he treated Sherlock following Mary’s death as well as trying to figure out how to finally put his long-time feelings for Sherlock into words. Part 1 of The Book of Silence/Rosa Felicia
