Sherlock Fic Rec

[rusty_armour]

I would just like to recommend a great post-eppy fic for "The Reichenbach Fall". It's theteej2's A Mutual Grief, which basically focuses on John and Lestrade after Sherlock's "death" and the way they begin to repair their friendship. It also features Anne Lestrade, who was first introduced in A Dish Served Cold, a deliciously long story full of adventure, Lestrade angst and a bit of hurt/comfort for good measure. This is followed by That Christmas Eve, which provides a clever explanation for why Sherlock thought Lestrade's wife was having an affair. *g*

Good reads. Thanks for the rec.

Something that's driving me crazy when I read fic - does no-one know how to spell "you're?" They all use "your."

I'm so happy you enjoyed theteej2's stories! I'm sure she'll be thrilled to hear that! :-)

Yeah, I know. I think it's probably the most common mistake I come across in fic. I've found myself typing "your" instead of "you're," but I think I usually catch the typo in read-throughs. Actually, I don't feel as if I'm in a position to lord spelling and grammar over anyone because I just discovered an embarrassing mistake I missed in one RoS writer's stories. I was working on a beta for her this morning (for something from a different fandom) and noticed that she was using "Forward" instead of "Foreword". Then, to my horror, I realized that she had probably used "Forward" instead of "Foreword" in her RoS fic and, sure enough, it was true. I had to go into the YahooGroups RoS Fic Folder and save new text files for two of her stories. Unfortunately, she posted the third story herself -- a story she also posted on AO3 and LJ. I've got to email her now and confess my mistake. Man, I knew there was a reason I didn't want to get up this morning. *g*
