Why this must be read:

There are a lot of crossovers between Cabin Pressure and Sherlock. Seriously. Go check out AO3. Out of 207 works, 20 of them are in someway crossed with Sherlock. If my maths is correct, that means at least 9% of AO3 Cabin Pressure has Sherlock elements. The main reason for this is probably Benedict Cumberbatch as he stars in both shows. How can you not write a doppelganger smut fic when faced with the pretty?

cabinpres_fic has turned out some truly impressive fic. This is probably one of my favourites. And judging by the rankings, it's a favourite on AO3 as well.

prettybirdy979 has written an awesome take on what being a brother to Sherlock Holmes would be like. Starting in childhood and running right up to current time, her characters are perfectly voiced for their canon and yet seamlessly mixed together to form a fantastic brand new world.

Excerpt:

Sherlock is eight years old when he meets his almost four year old half-brother, Martin Crieff. Martin is ginger haired, has the same blue grey eyes as Sherlock does and upon seeing Sherlock, hides behind his mother’s leg. Sherlock is standing by his father, his hand being held to stop him running off. He doesn’t understand why he has to be here, there’s a far more interesting dead bird under his bed than the scared child before him.
