Not to be confused with [community profile] ficletfriday, Fanfic Friday is run by [personal profile] shy_magpie, and is an opportunity to share what you've been reading!

So, this week's reading: )


For those who don't know, I have fic recs for BBC Sherlock, Canon!lock (still a WIP), and Venom. They're stickied at the top of my blog and get updated, so they'll update as of this post. :)

I realised there's a lot of new people in my circle now, so I'm going to unabashedly plug [community profile] ficletfriday.

If you're coming from Tumblr, the best way to explain Ficlet Fridays is that it's similar to Smut Sundays, but with no requirement for smut. Smut is welcome, but not necessary.

Main idea? Join the comm, and on Fridays, post a ficlet! It doesn't have to be brand-new: if you want to direct us to a ficlet you wrote and have on Ao3, that's fine, just don't post the same ficlet twice in the comm. Tag appropriately, et voila!

You're not required to participate every week. Hell, if you don't want to participate at all but still want to subscribe and see everybody's ficlets, go ahead!

The rest of the rules, which are mostly just housekeeping like tagging rules, are all found here.

Update!

Fandom: Sherlock (TV), Pretty Woman (1990)
Rating: Not Rated
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Molly Hooper
Additional Tags: Soft sex, Alternate Universe - Pretty Woman Fusion, Alternate Universe - Escorts, Dom/sub Undertones
Summary:

John Watson as a professional prostitute? You fucking know he's not bending his pride to be one. John Watson got back from the war, decided civilian life was boring, and took a dangerous job deliberately. John Watson, prostitute, has actively helped very powerful men stumble their way into prison because they treated other sex workers badly and John Watson doesn't Stand for that. John Watson is teased about being "a John" but he's not really one, he just sees people who end up in this life not because they had a choice but because they were tossed onto the streets, and he bandages them up and he gives them tips and if they don't want to sell their sex he finds them other jobs.
John Watson is a sex worker in the same way that Olympic ice skaters are just people who slide around on ice.

Sherlock Holmes, who inherited a business from his father and lets his brother run it and hates the upper-class nonsense he's stuck in because he wants to make a difference in the world, Sherlock Holmes who owns an entire estate but prefers to live in a flat rented by an old lady in the middle of London, Sherlock Holmes -- stalls out a car on a street corner in Soho at 3 am. And meets John Watson.


New chapter is up!

I'm so pleased I finished this. Not beta-read, but it's up after I edited it twice, so hopefully I didn't miss anything egregious. My boys are finally together and happy.

Sometimes fics stick with you long after you read them. This one is that fic for me; I've reread it at least six times over the course of four years, and it never disappoints. It's more like one long fic than a trilogy, and then a bunch of shorts in the 'verse. Not Johnlock/Holmes/Watson, but very, very full of love. I absolutely adore the writing, characterisations, and heartbreakingly accurate portrayal of broken people creating a family.

On AO3 here.

Reading Word Games by [personal profile] tweedisgood and had a moment of madness as I read the following:


Bane of my boyhood. Excellent teacher of a subject I loathed. Athletic, handsome, charming. Cutting, cruel, a roaring snob. It did not do to come from a modest background, nor to disdain the classics, if one wanted his approval. I failed on both counts.

I currently study under this professor. Thank to heaven he's not a headmaster, but he teaches my POGIL Equilibrium and Analysis class and if I had the opportunity to get him fired I'd take it. He's insufferable. This is the best description of him I've ever read.
