Title: The Man No One Liked (WIP-AU) by shouldboverthis
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Length: 4,065 (this chapter)
M for Mature

Summary: In November of 1913, Doctor John Watson is invited to the country house of his distant relation, Lord Lestrade. He and the footman, Holmes, who has been assigned as his valet for the weekend, are instantly attracted to one another. But before the weekend is out, someone will be murdered, and Sherlock and John will have to race to sort through family secrets to find the killer.


I usually don't give a rec on a first chapter of a fic, but I really adore the setting here, the writing style with lovely period detail, yet not so much it slows down the story, Sherlock and John are wonderfully in character here, a case on the way and a wonderful simmering tension between them. :D

Fic Rec

Author: tweedisgood
“Exemplar”
Word Count: ~4,000
Rating: PG for implications of the case
Holmes/Watson, implied slash unless you have a very pure mind.
Canon Compliant Fic

(Being a rejected draft of part of chapter 2, “Observation: Persons and their Affect”, part of the unfinished magnum opus “The Whole Science of Detection”, discovered amongst the papers of the late Sherlock Holmes)

In this fic Holmes and Watson reflect during a case involving child abduction. Well, writing like this breaks my heart, (in a good way) and if this isn't canon, it should be.
