Re: The Testament Of Sherlock Holmes Patch Crackedl
Randolfo Rasberry
Infiltrate by @ladyflowdi and MirrorSkippy: This fic drops you in media res and never quite lets you catch your breath. The creeping menace of Moriarty, the complicated family relationships and of course, a Sherlock and John who are struggling to figure out both each other and themselves. Gorgeous. 117,422 words across three stories.
Thirst by @holmesianpose: Set after the Great Game, John struggles to accept his attraction to Sherlock. This story features multiple cases, both gruesome and thrilling, as well as a particularly unsettling Moriarty (the author captures his disturbing sense of humor perfectly) and a slow-burn romance that turns scorching halfway through. Unmissable. 122,257 words.
On the Ice by @berlynn-wohl: John and Sherlock have a case in Antarctica! Happy nerdy fun with a solid mystery, excellent characterization, and the scenes of Sherlock Holmes playing D&D you never knew you wanted. 35,437 words. Other recs for this author: Mycobacterium Marinum, which has mysteries and sex scenes and just dozens of lines that will make you giggle; ROT-13, which is not a fic about basic encryption, but rather an adorable Sherlock-is-an-alien-and-John-has-crashlanded-on-his-planet AU.
26 Pieces by Lanning: Mycroft gives Sherlock a puzzle box to solve, and it makes for one hell of a story. This is a breathtakingly good piece of fiction. Plot, pacing, characterization, dialogue, all incredible. Every line serves its purpose and so many of them will stick with you long after you finish. 28,236 words.
A River Without Banks by Chryse: This story uses a simple scifi premise to spool out some of the best character work that fandom has to offer. Brilliant plotting, magnificent writing and a Sherlock that will make your heart ache. If you have somehow missed this fandom classic, which is devastating and comforting by turns, but always beautiful, please go read it now. 203,286 words.
The Next Great Adventure by @frightfullytreeish: I am just astonished by how seamlessly this author slides Sherlock and John into the wizarding world. John as a weary veteran of the second wizarding war is perfect, and Sherlock is utterly believable as a squib who returns the condescension of magical folk tenfold. Simply excellent. 38,982 words.
Modus Operandi by @joolabee: Not demolished yet? Try this equally painful post-Fall John PoV fic. Completely different but also gorgeous in a way that leaves you empty inside. 22,428 words. Other recs for this author: Ease Your Way Into Occupied Spaces, which is practically fluff compared to Modus Operandi but, you know, still hell.
Home by Resonant: This author has several short fics in the same style, and what a style they are - sharply written, erotic, first-time stories with a brilliant, self-protective Sherlock and a brave and steady John. 3,397 words. Other recs for this author: Amenable is another favorite of mine.
Common Tongues by jinglebell: This is a quasi-AU where John is a polyglot and Sherlock finds that rather hot. Well written, with a straightforward but unusual premise, this was a pleasure to read. 41,174 words.
Loosed Reins by AggressiveWhenStartled: If you like inappropriate sarcasm, deeply awkward situations, and lots and lots of startlingly funny yelling, then oh boy do I have a fic for you. 35,095 words.
THE FRAILTY OF GENIUS. Hello! I am bittergreens on ao3. I like to shout a lot. Mostly with excitement. This blog is a testament to my love of all things Johnlock and my obsessive love for that pairing. However, it also entails descriptions of my manic life as a struggling academic, evidence of my love of books and writing, pictures of things that I find interesting and inspiring (green things! sparkly things! old things!), pictures of beautiful women, and basically anything else that is just really gay.
If you'd like to help support my writing efforts (fic and otherwise!) so I might finance future nautical fieldtrips, etc etc, there is a donate button here now where you can do so! I so, so appreciate anything you might want to contribute. :)
