Obviously by Benficia [PG]

Fandom: SHERLOCK BBC
Pairing: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Length:771
Author on LJ: Beneficia
Author Warnings: crack!fic. Umm… vague mentions of drugs. Insulting people. Mild language.
Why this must be read: Something frivolous for your weekend:short, silly Sherlock crack.

Sherlock finds himself in a difficult situation, thanks to Mycroft's neglect, and Mummy is upset. Naming the genre would give away the punchline for this fic, though even newcomers will be able to guess once you've read it. It’s a small niche of the Sherlock fandoms, bigger as fanart than fic, with 41 fics on A03 but ample cute illustrations on tumblr, deviant art etc.  This is an early, cracky fun example of it’s appeal, with a tiny hint of pathos, bitchy Holmes brothers and science gone horribly wrong.

Wow, there's a whole genre like this? *boggles*

Uh huh. Google image Catlock. Apparently inspired by how Cumberbatch plays Sherlock, compared to say action!Downey Jnr. or Poised!Brett. Some of the fics are straight up AU's with all the characters being cats, or Sherlock is a cat in hurt/comfort fics, using him like companion pets are used in therapy.

OMG. There goes the rest of my weekend.

I actually saw the punchline coming a mile away, not because I'm familiar with the genre, but because I'm familiar with... well, you know. ;)
