Rustication, by harriet_spy, PG-13
Fandom: SHERLOCK BBC
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Length: 2,670
Author on LJ:
harriet_spy
Author Website: Master List on LJ
Why this must be read:
I recommend everything by this author and I’m diligently working my way through the most recent. She's particularly good with Mycroft. “Rustication” is as good a place to start as any.
harriet_spy (“SarahT” on Dreamwidth) is generous with her writerly goodness, pulling you in with descriptive bits that define a moment or a person perfectly.
For example, this is pretty cool:
Sherlock was now crouched on the floor in the light the telly cast, the very picture of an insomniac mind, eyes remote, hair waving like some fantastic undersea foliage, a red mark on his cheek where it had been pushed into the chair. He was going through the contents of his coat pockets, sorting them and resorting them as if that would somehow make them more useful. It was a weirdly homey sight.
In this fic, Mycroft thinks he knows what’s best for Sherlock and you know how that goes. He kidnaps John and Sherlock for their own safety after the events at the swimming pool, but Sherlock will not be caged while he’s on a case!
