Kryptaria
Fandom: Sherlock BBC
Genre: Casefic, Paranormal, Historical Romance, Asexual Romance
Pairing: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, OMC/OMC, OMC/OFC
Length: Medium (47,679 words)
Warnings: historical homophobia, historical imperial attitudes, suicide, violent hauntings
note: rec'd on fancake
Author's Summary:
Ten years after meeting Sherlock Holmes, John Watson has successfully kept only one secret from the world's only consulting detective: the most important secret he's ever had.
Now, drawn into an impossible web of murders at Latham Hall, John learns the terrible price a man must pay for keeping certain things secret.
Review:
I'm a huge fan of paranormal casefic/Urban Fantasy in general, so naturally I really liked that element of this one. I also enjoyed the combination with a historical gay romance and the contemporary ace romance in this fic, plus the ghost character is really interesting. But what I liked most is that this fic speaks to that element of ACD's Sherlock that is that whole "How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?" which is something that the BBC Sherlock doesn't usually get to be (probably in an effort to maintain his fairly abrasive BBC canon personality) so it was really nice to see that come up in this fic.
