shadowfireflame | Some BBC Sherlock WIP Recs (Reply)

My Sherlock recs list is continuing to amass (this fandom is so wonderfully prolific that I now have about 85 pages worth of to-read links in a Word document, ahahahaha.) Anyway, in the meantime,

emmagrant01 asked for recs of WIPs we’re currently enjoying, so I thought I’d cross-post my answer here while I have the coding done.

I generally enjoy WIPs once they get going. I think somehow they end up getting more comments than stories posted in full, even if comments are just "OMG PLEASE FINISH I WILL DIE IF YOU DON'T!!!" That's my only concern with WIPs, that they might stop at any moment on a cliffhanger and I will go nuts. It's a relationship of pleasure and pain, lol.

Anyway, here are some of my favorites right now:

greywash's second part of the Good Morrow verse. I assume—I hope!—everyone is reading this. Absolutely phenomenal post-Reichenbach work. And just one chapter to go! *salivates*

I’m also a bit obsessed with a vampire!Sherlock/werewolf!John AU, the Powerful, Beautiful, and Without Regret series, one part of which is still a WIP, by song_lin (actually, I love all her work).

Bird’s Bone by thesardine, which has some excellent hurt/comfort elements and superb characterization of everyone, but especially Moriarty and Mycroft.

A brilliant WWII AU, the Long Ago And Far Away series by lotherington—I literally squeal with joy when I see that this one has been updated.

nightshade1120’s mind-blowing Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy crossover with nuanced portrayals of all the characters in both universes, The Fraternity.

I adore the idea of Overclocked, a cyber!AU by abundantlyqueer (who is a powerhouse in fandom).

Chameleon by velvet_mace. Although I have some minor issues with this one, the plot and world-building is just so engrossing.

The brilliant bendingsignpost’s heartbreaking AU of his AUs, which is in this livejournal thread and just keeps growing. I would wait until it’s all posted and complete, but, heh, with this author I just can’t. I just have to know what happens next; it’s a compulsion. (An AU mix of Watches verse, Stranger at the Gate, and Behavioural Modification, which are all fantastic separately and superb together.)

And finally the hilarious What To Do When Your Flatmate is Homicidal by hyacinth_sky747, which makes me so ridiculously happy when it's updated. :)
