Priority-Ultra Sherlock Sue! by

The Other Watson, rated T.
Sherlock finds himself falling for John's niece Tabitha, who turns up on thier doorstep pregnant and with nowhere to go. Sherlock/OC
I'm labelling it priority-ultra because holy frak, Sherlock is mangled beyond recognition by the third chapter. My Agents are lined up for two or three crossover collaboration missions and have the daughter of Irene and Sherlock as well as another girl moves into 221C fic, so if there's someone with Permission who knows BBC Sherlock, please please please take it.
If not, my Agents have their work cut out for them. -
Y'all should have seen my face when I read the summary. by

I thought it was going to freeze that way.
So...has this piece of work been taken or can I jump in with my Mace of Molog Bal and wreck its shit? -
Yeah, Intel and I are working on the mission. by

Should be ready in around two days at the latest (I have a Lot of Issues with this story, holy frak.)
I do have a reserve of other Sues you can take a look at if you'd like to put that Mace to work; there is one just as befuddling as this where the Sue is the daughter of Irene and Sherlock. -
Oh, do please share. by

Kitty and Alec need to murder some more stuff. (And they will. Once I get the latter half of this two-parter off the ground, it's like a lead balloon on my conscience and I HATE IT SO MUCH.)

What could have happened.
I was working on getting charges with another Boarder, but now that Tabitha's around I don't know if I have the time to deal with this Sue as well. If you'll chuck me an email, I can give you the charges. -
...wait how many chapters is thi-- ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE?! by

So that should cover all the chapters up to the end of Pink or so.
(Seriously though, Sherlock Sues are very, very prolific. The Tabitha one is like... an anomaly. The average chapter length of these Suefics is like 35. Or something.) -

...bloody hell. The superb quality of the Sherlock fics I've read so far has spoiled me. Looks like I found the 10% that Sturgeon's Law implies and now I'm getting tossed into the other named 90%.

I wasn't even aware of the existence of Sherlock Sues until a month ago, and then I found a goldmine of them, and then...
yeah.
I'm a Johnlock shipper, so most of the time I'm wrapped up in wonderful stories about the two of them, and a lot of Sues tend to cheapen that friendship and it just annoys me. -

I have some interesting feelings about Johnlock. I mean, I love most of the fics I've read with it, and when it's done right I adore it. At the same time I have a hard time not reading Sherlock as asexual, but not necessarily aromantic. And John has a huge man-crush on him. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER OKAY THAT'S WHY THEY'RE WILLING TO DIE FOR EACH OTHER AND *flips nearby table, fed up with waiting for next season, one of the arc words is Wedding, I CAN'T HANDLE THIS*
This basically sums up how I feel about them. "It's like I married my best friend--" "--but in a TOTALLY MANLY WAY!" -
Exactly. by

Because just because someone is asexual doesn't mean that they can't somehow find a soul mate. And because soul mate does not necessarily equal sex, sexual attraction, or any of that stuff. Yet, it seems that 90% of people who write fanfiction are unaware of the fact that there can be any sort of close relationships besides sexual ones, and ignore the romantic aspect entirely.
As an asexual I do have some pretty strong feelings about this, in case you couldn't tell. (Though, I'm not 100% certain that BBC Sherlock is asexual: he's usually very observant of when other people are in relationships, when that information seems useful to him, and he certainly notices Irene, though throughout that episode their interactions did read kind of oddly. Personally, I once got lost in my school gym because all the other girls had stopped to watch the guys play basketball with no shirts, which I hadn't even noticed was going on. I had to go back and find them and ask them why they'd stopped, but I suppose I can't be a completely representative sample for every Asexual.)
Seriously, though, that's why I love BBC Sherlock so much. The Sherlock/John relationship is, human heads in the freezer aside, pretty much an ideal slightly romantic friendship. And next season needs to get here now before I annoy the heck out of my friends going over last season with them. -

I can ship them in any format - platonic, romantic, sexual, whatever. They're like soulmates for me (and I have been reading far too many fics in which they're descendants or reincarnations of the ACD!Holmes and Watson, oops).
And I have gotten to the point where I've drawn up a list of warning signs of a BBC Sherlock Holmes character replacement. I think the drinking game is on its way. -

And meanwhile here's one I just finished reading a couple days ago. Not Yet Dead by castiron. It's really good; it's one hell of a casefic that links together past and present and aaaaaugh, it's bloody amazing and the plot twists are great.
I've also written one myself with Johnlock and a lot of magic realism, called Once We Had Wings; it won third place at a Johnlock fanfiction competition. -

Magic realism + Johnlock = TWO GREAT TASTES THAT TASTE GREAT TOGETHER! Now I'm excited. Meanwhile, I'm trying to get my damn post-Reichenbach fic off the ground. It's pretty heavy so far but I promise one day it will be actually out there on its own like a grown-up fic.
Fic recs probably mean I will be good for absolutely nothing tomorrow. Worth it. -

Ewwww... how does John have a supposedly adult niece? I know Harry's supposed to be the older sibling, but still.
And the technical errors... Brrr. It's all... squishy.
(By the way, still slogging through Olivia the evil and her random appearance in manged canonical episodes. I finished reading/charging chapter 9.) -

Oh dear Eru, there are so many things wrong with just the first chapter, let alone the rest of the story. I'd personally say that Sherlock's character is mangled beyond recognition in the first chapter alone, given his canonical distrust of people that aren't well known to him being in his flat; I highly highly doubt he'd just give a key to his flat to some random girl who just so happens to related to John.
So, we're obviously dealing with a Replacement!Sherlock, and probably a Replacement!John and Replacement!Lestrade as well. Hmm... I'll think about it, but I'm not claiming this fic at the moment. -
If you take it, I already have a charge list drawn up. (nm) by
