Recs: Sherlock Holmes and Merlin
Jan. 15th, 2010 10:40 pmSo, the Sherlock Holmes movieverse seems to have eaten my brain for the past couple of weeks. I mean, I’d always suspected that Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes was going to be a treat, but who knew giving Jude Law a mustache, a sword-cane and an inconsistent limp was going to be such a boon to humanity? Or something like that.
I can’t say I’ve read exhaustively through the reams of fic that have been coming out, or even dipped into the impressive century's worth of previous stories (it was the first fandom, after all), but I wanted to pass on a few things I’ve enjoyed. Y’all probably know my tastes: hurt, then comfort, and then, apparently, in this case, sex.
The slash is working for me in this pairing more than it usually does. I blame RDJ and JL again—you just look at those guys and know they’ve done everything. Twice.
