tvrealm challenge 3x19, where we make a rec post of 50 things. This post became a bit more random then I'd intended as some of the recs I wanted to make were taken down (vids) or I couldn't find a link to them in the time we had for the challenge (some fics), but it's still a nice collection of Sherlock-goodness. So here goes! In no particular order...
MOODTHEME:
1) Every fan needs a Sherlock Moodtheme and this gif one by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
un_endlich is particularly cool!
PODFIC:
2) go the f*** to sleep, Sherlock by primroseshows and read bylunchy_munchy.
Do you know the bedtime storybook called "Go the Fuck to Sleep"? Yeah, that one! WELL, UH. So this fic is exactly what you're thinking. Read to perfection!
3) Shift by Messageredacted, read by FayJay.
Cracking plotty casefic-type thing, Sherlock being his maddening self, John being utterly Johnlike in the best of ways, and Sarah being awesome, as well as code breaking, serial killers...it's all good, my friends! Like a mini episode! Fayjay has a distinctive reading style that (in my opinion) works particularly well for Sherlock BBC.
SHERLOCK/DOCTOR WHO CROSSOVER FIC:
4) The Rebel and His Cause bythe_gabih
A wonderful crossover where John and Sherlock are part of the resistance during the Year That Never Was. Mostly about John and he's so very BAMF! and it's just really good! (Oh and it also comes with podfic.)
5) Just Human bywafflestories.
Lovely and heartbreaking all in one.
6) The Detective bylotherington.
John Watson was seven years and three months old when he first met His Raggedy Detective. He wasn’t expecting the bright red telephone box to crash land in his back garden in the middle of the night, but then, who ever expected such a silly thing to happen in the first place? Lovely story.
ART
7) I've Found the Rabbit! byluluxa
This one blew me away. There's something about how vibrant the colours are and Sherlock's features are perfect!
8) Don't Believe bythatsapenny
I was inspired by The Riechenbach Fall and the #believeinsherlock viral wonderfulness that's been happening on Tumblr and Twitter, so I made a little propaganda poster. This is just really striking! Love the yellow!
9) happy valentine 2010! by_izu_
This is so the sort of note John would get from Sherlock if they were in a relationship. I like the simple drawing style and the note made me chortle.
10) Winter's solace bypennies_4_eyes (Here's the first part on LJ if you want to leave feedback).
This is a WIP! Fair warning. But it is so worth a look, because it is such stylish artistic drawing. She's a professional and you can so see it. (Check out her other art while you're perusing her journal.)
11) Sherlock mini-icons byredscharlach
These are stellar! The cartoon characters are cute, but it's the text with them that kills me laughing! I particularly love Mrs Hudson as a "Bad ass mother figure". LOL
12) Victorian Sherlock: Three Page Spread bythecolourfulway
The red and black is so effective.
13) Sherlock 203 210x icons PART A byfamira
There are so many icons out there, but if you're after some elegantly simple (no text or textures, etc.), but pretty Sherlock icons, you can't go past this lovely icon post.
14) Am I invisible because you ignore me? bysummerdisregard
Loads of wonderful Sherlock icons here. Pretty black and white and peachy tones. Really artistic. Take a look.
15) Multifandom Icons - Sherlock, Good Omens, M&C bysarlania
Lovely icons for a 20 in 20 challenge. Really striking and bold.
SHERLOCK FIC
16) Deceiving Appearances byblind_author (gen, pg)
Moran doesn't think much of John Watson. Until their paths cross and John beats the crap out of him. Featuring Moran being a little too overconfident for his own good, and John being a badass. I always love a BAMF!John fic.
17) Leave the Signs and Sirens byout_there (John/Sherlock, PG)
After John's released and back home at Baker St, Sherlock still feels it. Down the centre of his chest there's an ache like a healing wound. A physical awareness of a body he usually ignores as much as he can. It's psychosomatic, nothing more interesting than that. (Set directly after S1, and written without knowledge of S2.) Lovely, long, plotty fic. :)
18) The Simple Joys of Home bycaffienekitty (Gen, PG)
John Watson is having a very bad day. Set between Sherlock episodes 1.01 and 1.02, no real spoilers.
19) Faith Makes One Fine Pillow bytearstolaughter
But John never doubted the fact that Sherlock would show up when he was most needed, because there was one man that John, as an army man with little to no faith believed in, and that was Sherlock Holmes. I love this little piece of logical kindness. :)
20) A City on the Head of a Pin by mad_maudlin PG-13, gen)
A really different take on the wing!fic trope and I really enjoyed the writing style.
21) Maybe then I Could Sleep at Night byi_sing_anyway (John/Sherlock, pg)
John’s having trouble sleeping; his past and present start to collide when he finds himself sharing a bed with Sherlock. (4,400 words)
22) Drowning bydayja (gen)
Sherlock has never learned to swim
23) Warmth Bycaffienekitty (gen, g, cuddly!fic)
Because everyone could use more cuddling.
24) Elementary bywafflestories (pg)
A wonderful take on kid!fic with a brilliant structure to the writing. Lovely long and plotty and very aww.
25) A Study in Sexuality byjupiter_ash (John/Sherlock)
This is sort of meta!fic. It's meta and fic rolled into one and an interesting, as well as entertaining read.
26) The Case of the Misplaced Dream bystarrylizard (Sherlock/Inception crossover, G, gen)
You never really remember the beginning of a dream do you? You always wind up right in the middle of what's going on. I was running out of recs, so here's a fic I wrote that I think is fun!
27) His Brother's Keeper bysalmakia
This is set an indeterminate time before the series begins and assumes Sherlock was addicted to something more than nicotine.
28) Fallout bysalr323 (PG)
It starts three months after the shooting.
CRACK!FIC
29) Alien Abduction Blues by Silverpard (fanfiction.net)
Mycroft is abducted by aliens. It's quite possibly the worst thing that's ever happened... to the aliens. Abolutely brilliant. (Also comes in Podfic)
30) The Lobster Quadrille by Anon.
Sherlock and Moriarty as lobsters, knife-fighting. Pure crack and pure awesomeness.
31) 'Cause If We Find We're In A Bind bylei_che_sogna (Sherlock/John, Moriarty, Teen)
I can promise this is unlike any other solution you may have read for the finale. This is deliberately bad!fic that is ridiculously funny in the "breaks your brain" kind of way.
32) The Arms of London Bridge bytakadainmate (PG for tentacles? gen)
It'd only been a matter of time, John thinks dourly, before it came to this.
33) Write or Die, Moriarty Mode bycaffienekitty
One of John Watson's less vaunted skills becomes necessary to stop a bomb from exploding.
34) Text!Fic: The 15:06 to Totnes bytrillsabells
There are many Sherlock text!fics and they're all pretty funny as a rule. This is the first one I read though and it still makes me chuckle. :)
SHERLOCK + COAT = OTP
Um, I have this obsession with Sherlock's coat. Andhumansrsuperior has fed this little obsession of mine so very nicely. Let me count the ways she's done this.
35) Get Your Coat a vid byhumansrsuperior
This vid totally fed my obsession with Sherlock and his coat. It's adorable, especially for the music choice, but also because she actually found enough clips of said coat to make a really excellent vid! Really!
36) Sherlock Picspam: Long-Coat Fetish ♥ also byhumansrsuperior
The title speaks for itself.
37) Sherlock + Coat = OTP Chibi art series byhumansrsuperior - the whole series (13 parts) is linked from this post.
I can't even tell you how much I love TWIRLY SHERLY!! *FLAIL* It is the most adorable thing ever.
38) In honour of it's awesomeness, I committed rap. Twirly Sherly Rap...
39) whichhumansrsuperior made into a vid. And it was all very fun!
and on that note... SHERLOCK VIDS:
40) Arrival of the Birds by beadedstar (@youtube)
"I don't have friends." This vid feels so simple and yet it's incredibly beautiful! It's probably my favourite Sherlock vid right now.
41) These Days byderry667
I love this vid. The simple uncluttered style, the fact it uses a brilliant song and matches it so nicely - lyrically and pacing-wise, the general overview of John and Sherlock and the series... Love!
42) Haunted by Tactilecomfort (@youtube)
My favourite John vid so far. Just love this, especially the use of the battle scenes.
43) Blind byhay1ock
Simple and lovely vid about the John-Sherlock dynamic, whichever way you choose to see it.
44) Oh No! by Multikitten (@youtube)
I really like the text and the fun effects. It's like a lyrics vid that you actually want to watch. :)
45) Troublemaker byageless_aislynn
So much fun and the bit with the violin is so clever! :D
46) Mind Palace byhumansrsuperior
Love the beat work! This really shows off the pretty that goes into Sherlock's production.
47) Poison Prince bytheanonsisters
My favourite sort of vid. Simple, unmessy, awesome song choice. Love it!
48) Let it Rock by ThePteryx (@Youtube)
A Jim Moriarty vid. It's short, but it makes me smile.
49) Dancing with the Devil by KinOksana (@Youtube)
Love the music choice and use in this one and it really runs with all the symbols and codebreaking in the show.
SHERLOCK FIC RECCER
