Sunday Morning Fic Rec

IT HAS FINALLY BEEN POSTED!

Some backstory: There's a prompt at the Sanctuary Kink Meme that says "Crossover] Sanctuary/Torchwood, Declan/Jack Harkness (past Declan/Watson, Watson/Jack Harkness), Declan has never met another one of Watson's exs before "

I read it and thought "I need this in my life. I really hope someone writes it." And then I met st_aurafina, and noticed that she was looking for a beta, and so I volunteered, and IT WAS THAT FIC.

Needless to say, it was a couple readthroughs before I stopped hyperventilating and could pay attention to things like Oxford Commas.

ANYWAY! THIS FIC! This fic is really awesome. It's awesome because it captures Declan at one of the less pleasant times in his life, and doesn't pull any punches. It's awesome because Jack's voice is pitch perfect. It's awesome because there are a thousand little details about James that add so much to the atmosphere, it's like breathing it. It's awesome because they're all really pretty. And it's awesome because I can totally imagining it happening, and the writing is really good.

Also, there's a pterodactyl. :)

(I always liked Jack Harkness, but this was when I fell in love with him.)

Another Fic Rec (For Sherlock This Time)

Apparently weekends are when I obsessively rec fics. :)

This time it's a story for the BBC Sherlock called "It's Not the Violin". I actually heard the podfic first, which I also recommend, but the words by themselves are more than awesome. I love this fic because you can read it as slash, or as gen, or as Whatever Mess These Two Are In (which is kind of where I am right now). It also includes quite possibly the best explanation of why it's John Watson:

Sherlock sat back, considering it. "My brother," he said slowly, "thinks that London's a battlefield. Little skirmishes constantly going on, strategies mapped out, arms taken up. John might too, I think. I see it more as a hospital, full of disease that needs diagnosing, wounds that need lancing. John's the best doctor I know."

Just...awesome. I so cannot wait for this show to come back.

Anyway, the text is here, and the podfic is here.
