ariadnes_stringThis week’s essay topic is: sick!Watson vs. sick!Wilson. Compare, contrast, discuss. Papers will be due Friday.
But, seriously: y’all have probably noticed that one weird side-effect of my trip down the rabbit-hole of Sherlock Holmes fandom has been that I’ve started paying attention to House, MD again, a show I haven’t thought about at all since its first season (albeit in a somewhat scattershot way).
So, in honor of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
med_cat’s lovely fill of my request for malarial!Watson, Another Curse of our Indian Possessions , and in celebration of my pan-fandom love for a certain kind of h/c, here are some recs. All are older fics, and you’ve probably read them if you know the fandoms, but if not, enjoy!
five recs behind the cut:
sick!hurt!Watson
These are all book ‘verse.
Just One Breath by nir Alicia. Featuring hurt!Watson, worried!Holmes and—this makes me so happy—the hidden rivers of London. (my ratings: pre-slash, pg)
Sins of the Father by Pompey. Epic fic on ff.net that combines Watson w/ pneumonia with an interesting case. First person POV, but it works fine. (gen, pg).
Undiscovered Country by Katie Forsythe. More epic sick!Watson, more first person POV—this time an AU revision of “The Dying Detective.”
sick!Wilson
Sick Day bymer_duff. You know that old fanfic standby where one of the main characters gets the flu, and everyone rallies around to look after him/her? Yeah. I’m a huge sucker for it—and this is one of the best examples I’ve ever read in any fandom. (gen, pg, spoilers for the S4 finale).
Codependency bydebbiel66. Hurt!Wilson. Another post-S4, early S5 fic—because that moment seems to have been what BUaBS or “The End” are to SPN fandon—a fic bonanza. Lovely characterization and writing, as always, from this author! (gen, pg).
