Er, except for the K J Charles fic, this entry might as well be titled 'I Rec My Friends' Fics', but whatever. It's hardly a coincidence that my fannish friends are also people whose writing I enjoy.

On a whim I decided to read one of![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
garonne's old Sherlock Holmes fics, and wow, it was so good! This is a a Mycroft-POV fic which takes the unreliable narrator concept to such lengths that it throws out much of canon as being fiction. But the Holmes/Watson relationship remains, and I enjoyed seeing Mycroft gradually discover that through Watson's writing, which also brings them closer together.

This is a Keith/Ewen woke-up-married fic which is just deliciously tropey and which makes the most of using the trope to bring out all of Keith's issues--and even better, we get to see it through Ewen's eyes as he tries to figure out what's happened and what's going on in his new husband's head.

This fic is almost the opposite: though it's also very shippy, it is so in a restrained fashion which never shows the Alan/Davie couple on the page, but only through other people's eyes, who often don't realize the significance of what they're seeing. At the same time, all these other people show the rich tapestry of all the rest of Davie's life.

One of my favorites of the Archie/Daniel fic I've read--it's an obvious premise to write given canon (that actually Archie's uncle and his best friend are lifelong lovers and partners), but it's well executed and so enjoyable!
