archive of our own or fanfic.net but ao3 is immensely better. if youre looking for sherlock ones i can recommend some authors

i would love some authors names thanks!

oh oh! alright man here it comes

wait before i start...are you ok with explicit content?

yes, explicit is fine

alrighty here goes

my all time favorite author is beautifulfic on ao3 but she writes exclusively hurt/comfort fics, at least her long ones are. they're not bad or graphic in any way but if you wanted to try her writing without

any pain or something she wrote a winter-time/christmas friends-to-lovers drabble

archiveofourown.org/user...

that's her account

this is the one i'm thinking of but it seems she has a couple other non h/c drabbles if youre not into that archiveofourown.org/work...

verityburns is an author that a lot of people like...I used to be way into her work but now i'm not so much anymore. you can check her out though

hold on i'm looking through my faves

the first and last trilogy is a huge one archiveofourown.org/user... i've only read the last drop but i think i plan to read the rest of it later

one fic that everyone will talk about is Alone on the Water. That is sad archiveofourown.org/work...

mad_lori also has a great au if you're into that called Performance in a Leading Role

oh and her fic The Blog of Eugenia Watson is an interesting one...one of the first fics I read actually

one wip fic that i'm reading right now is called All the Best and Brightest Creatures by wordstrings

archiveofourown.org/work...

but it has a tag for Graphic Depictions of Violence and it's unclear right now if that's because of the threats Sherlock is getting or if something gruesome is going to happen in later chapters. But the writing

phenomenal

one thing that you'll have to know about me is that i LOVE hurt/comfort and/or whump which is basically the torture of my favorite character (sherlock in this case) so most of my faves consist of that

so one fic that I am in absolute love with is a very intense fic with a lot of torture and i really doubt you'd like it but the writing is amazing so i'll put it out here anyway archiveofourown.org/work...

you need an ao3 account to read it and if you think you can handle it i can give you mine for a bit because wow

i have a lot of one shots if you'd like those too but i'll stick to series for now

One thing that I love a lot is pining!sherlock where John is off dating but Sherlock really loves him but wont say anything or something

the problem with that is that occasionally you have to overlook characterization but idk the ones i like aren't too terribly bad

one of my favorite series in that genre is Let's Make A Bed Out in the Rain: archiveofourown.org/work...

this one, The Progress of Sherlock Holmes, is written by ivyblossom who is another big writer in the fandom though I don't think I've read any of her other things archiveofourown.org/work...

The Road Less Traveled literally tears my soul out but it's great in this genre archiveofourown.org/work...

that's by verityburns btw

now my otp and by otp i mean OTmothafuckingP MAN is johnlock so those are the fics I read, however, there are so many pairings in this fandom and I have a good writer for Lestrade/Sherlock if youre interested

otherwise a huge one you'll see is mystrade even though mycroft and lestrade have never canonially met. Another is Molly/Lestrade or Sherlolly and the next biggest is Moriarty/Moran (a character from the

original novels) finally, a pairing that I enjoy occasionally is Sherlock/Moriarty

But basically if you want to look for good Sherlock fic, it's very tough because AO3 has over 30,000 fics for Sherlock (TV) alone and a lot of them are fairly terrible

so there are some great blogs to follow on tumblr

one is missilemuse.tumblr.com/p... though she's not an official rec blog, i love her whump rec list but she has others

another is this one sherlockbbcficrecs.tumbl...

i'm trying to remember what the fuck yeah blog is because i love it

here it is fuckyeahjohnlockfanfic.t...

so yeah. you can ask me as I have an EXTENSIVE favorites list or you can go to these pages if you're looking for more or for a specific genre

OMG thank you soooo much allie! ya i was looking at a few ofthem on ao3 and they were just terrible, i mean some of them were so far out there i couldnt even see how this related back to the sherlock i know...

SO im definaly gonna check these out thanks!

np! glad to help. : D
