Fic rec: Sherlock
Dec. 13th, 2010 11:06 pm"A Priori" & "White Noise" by rubberbutton | John/Sherlock | AU | In which vampires have enslaved humans and control, well, everything. Vampire!Mycroft insists his little brother get a slave -- even though it didn't work out with the dog -- and Sherlock chooses the one guaranteed to irritate his brother the most: an unassuming little doctor with an ugly past and absolutely no style to speak of. | ~6.700 & ~8.200 words
Wow. I'm smitten with the universe rubberbutton created. The characters are all so in-character despite this being an AU and the story itself is so intriguing! But what fascinates me most is Sherlock, he's starting to like his human slave and he doesn't know what to do with his feelings. I hope there will be more stories in this universe!
"I've got so used to the sound of your petty humanish thoughts – did I leave the kettle plugged in? What shall I have for supper? How many pairs of clean socks do I have left? – buzzing away at the back of my mind. They're all so insipid. Really, how do you stand it?” Sherlock asks, grabbing his head with both hands. “But now I've got used to them. And to the sound of your breathing. And the beat of your heart. Without them, everything is too distracting.”
