Friday Fics Fix - After The Fall

 

'“Oh, you’re going to be a regular bag of charms, aren’t you?” Mycroft goaded.

“Oh, shut up Mycroft!” Sherlock yelled back.'

 

Sherlockian fanfiction rules, let's be honest.

No-one can work quite so hard as the Sherlockians to turn a positive dearth (...I love that word, shutup,) of canon into a total avalanche of fan content.

(Fandom notes:

Sherlockian = fans (especially fandom-interacting fans) of BBC's Sherlock TV series.

Canon = official stuff in a book/series/film/whatever)

So, before we go any further: things are gonna get SPOILER-y, ok? SPOILERS!

BEWARE THE SPOILERS!!!!

OK, great. 

So this week's fic is canon divergence after The Fall.

...in Serbia, to be precise. 

Sherlock's in a bad way - John and Mycroft to the rescue!

Expect much pining between John and Sherlock, angst involving the same, and Mycroft being like: JUST KISS!

(And yes, I tried to find a gif of that moment from Pirates of the Caribbean where Barbossa yells that, but I couldn't - so just imagine it, k?)

(Fandom notes:

Canon divergence = an AU (alternate universe) which follows canon (official stuff) up to a point, and then goes off in its own direction.

The Fall = one of the many ways to reduce Sherlockians (Sherlock fans) to a quivering mass of incomprehensible pained noises.)

As mentioned, there is much the angst, so please be aware of the Content Warnings:

- torture (GRAPHIC)

- hallucinations

- injuries and blood (GRAPHIC)

- descriptions of medical procedures (mild but present)

- general violence, including references to guns

- guilt

- grief

- relationship issues

- low self-esteem

- internalised ableism (wanting to not be 'a burden' etc.)

- references and flashbacks to suicide/attempted suicide

As always I hope I've covered everything, but please pay attention to the fic author's tags, and take care while reading.

This week's fic, then, is:
