If You Liked PIALR …
Lifetime Achievementby Mad_Lori,47 k, explicit. AU.
Mid-quel add on to the PIALR series. John and Sherlock plan a quiet wedding
while dealing with their blossoming fame, busy careers, and John’s homophobic
parents. Story is sweet and sexy, and the author works in THE COAT! So great to
see another edition to this series. Thumbs up!
The Blog of
Eugenia Watsonby
Mad_Lori, 95 k, gen. John and Sherlock are an adorable old married couple
raising John’s teen-aged daughter along with his ex-wife who lives in the flat
next door. Stellar characters, plot, and romance. No sex since the daughter is
the first person narrator, but the love between them all is exquisite. A fav.
Sketchyby serpentynka, 184 k, explicit. What
(and who) will be left when nobody cares about your Work? A slow-burn fic with
cases, places, mistaken identities, unfair choices, essential changes, violent
feels, blatant lies, fearless portraiture, family secrets, high-risk bespoke
gifts, durable friendships, bedtime stories, foreign travel and tongues,
sickness (and health), and the significance of things which are slow to unfurl
– but cannot be ignored. Oh, and…porn. (Part of a series.)
Northwest Passage by Kryptaria, 95 k, explicit. AU – John is
retired from the Canadian army living in an isolated homestead. An old military connection, Mycroft Holmes,
calls in a favor. He must house his younger brother Sherlock while he detoxes
from drugs. BAMF!John, PTSD, hunting, flirting and sex – oh my.
Castle and Sandby grey853,
158 k, explicit. Amazing tour-de-force novel-length story. Sherlock is an
ex-drug addict who was molested as a child, and sold himself for drugs as a
young adult. John is a vet from special ops with PTSD nightmares and
flashbacks. Much unfolds as they decide to commit, plan a wedding, and inform
everyone of their new status. So much is revealed about their past, and what
they need to work through emotionally and psychologically to be together.
Back in the Dayby
KeelieThompson1, 110 k, mature. Unilock. Sherlock meets a younger John while he
is still in college. We get to see the two mature together through John’s
drinking and troubled home life, and Sherlock’s drug use and shady dealings.
Lots of angst and violence, great plot and characters and smut. (Locked to AO3
users.)
Two Two One Bravo Baker by abundantlyqueer, 114 k, explicit. Awesome
war-time romance AU. John is a soldier in the war in Afghanistan. Mycroft asks
Sherlock to fly in and solve the mystery of some suspicious political murders.
Plot, love, sizzling sex, and fabulous research found in this! (Murder and
violence of course too.) A fav.
Perpetual Motion by Fay(orphan
account), 75 k, explicit. Virginlock. Sherlock is asexual, or perhaps
demi-sexual, and John is not gay. Maybe he’s bisexual, or perhaps really just
Sherlock-sexual. It’s hard to tell. The lines get all muddled when little games
start to get out of hand. Through the fights, a month-long orgasm denial
challenge for Sherlock, and a trip to view the house he inherits from his
grandmamma, things get real.
The
Men Who Talked Between the Words by Odamaki, explicit, WIP. After Mary
dies, John and his daughter move back in with Sherlock. This is a long,
meandering, slow burn of a fic that takes its time as the two men tackle cases,
deal with friends and family, and navigate their long buried feelings.
Slowly, slowly they build a life between the three of them, becoming
a family while they weren’t looking. (Locked to AO3 users.)
A readalike for PIALR is The Sticking Place
I’m on mobile and can’t link could somebody link it
Levi loves how it feels. The cool and decadent fabric bunched underneath him. Every second punctuated by intense pleasure and expensive sheets. He’d spent ages driving Erwin insane, taking control and slowly building up the heat and passion that he knew dwelled below the surface.
Erwin could be a closed book at times, never revealing his true emotions and keeping his cards unseen as was needed in his postion, however once Levi had worked him expertly into an almost mindless state of abandonment, he knew he’d achieved peace for his love, as always.
After an excruciating amount of teasing, well-timed rolls of the hips and seductive sighs, Erwin finally gives in and allows his desire to take hold. It was Levi’s plan all along, as always. He’d do this a thousand times over, play the part of carnal redemption, provide a place of want and unthinking lust, anything for the one he adored, one who adored him just as much. And he knew he would get this in return when needed.
Freedom. Salvation. Release. Escape. And the silk they saved for moments of requirement.
