![]() ![]() MadLori demonstrates her writing prowess by building a ‘what if’ universe around one single choice made by Sherlock (and it’s so subtle it’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it). With just the right amount of fluff and smut. What I expected to be a fluffy daydream of a prepubescent girl (I mean, really, two A-list actors meeting on set and falling in love? Totally a tween dream) turned out to be a nuanced and carefully-built relationship between two men. Somehow, someway, “Performance in a Leading Role” ended up on my iBooks app and I read it. And fictional ones interest me even less, but I digress. Maybe it’s because I’m Southern Californian and inherently jaded, but celebrity lives just don’t interest me that much. I’ve seen this one mentioned often enough on Tumblr, but the premise was enough to keep me away. (That look you have right now–the one with your eyebrow arched or your upper lip slightly curled in disdain–I had it too). It’s a sort-of AU where Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are A-list Hollywood actors. But this piece, this piece made me laugh, made me cry, and made me smile far more often than I’m used to. MadLori’s Alone on the Watertook me to new realms of angst and emotional turmoil I felt sadness that I never expected to be brought on by a work of fanfiction. ![]() So, I’ve circled back to my Johnlock ship, and incidentally, the first author that I recced for Fanfic Wednesday. ![]()
