The German Sherlock (BBC) fan fiction “Unberührt - Deflowered - extended version” by

lorelei_lee1968 has been rewritten as an original novel and accepted for publication. This means that...

1) lorelei_lee1968 is an incredibly talented author (which we all knew already)

but also 2) The fic is being removed from the internet TONIGHT (Wed. 26 October 2016). If you want a copy, make sure to download it from AO3 ASAP.

It is not yet clear what, if anything, will be happening with the English translation which I made - “Deflowered - Director’s Cut” - but I would recommend that you likewise save a personal copy for any eventuality. ;)

Update 6 November 2016: The English version will remain on AO3.

I just hit 1000 bookmarks with my collections on AO3. I had 1000 at an earlier point, but due to many fics having been deleted I dropped below. Now with some corkers having finished, we're back in quadruple digits.

The full database of bookmarks (i.e. fic recs) is here: http://archiveofourown.org/users/SwissMiss/bookmarks

You can filter/sort to your heart's content with the menu on the right side of the page.

I have also sorted these bookmarks into my own themed collections, which you can find here: http://archiveofourown.org/users/SwissMiss/collections

If you open an individual collection, be sure to then click on 'Bookmarks' in the left-hand menu bar to see everything. Otherwise it will only show you the 5 most recent.

Have fun!

Title: His Name Is John Watson (link to AO3)
Author: ampersand_ch
Translator:

swissmarg
Rating: Explicit
Word count: 19,562
Relationships: Holmes/Watson
Summary: A summer's idyll in Sussex. Holmes and Watson seek some peace and quiet. But that's not as simple as they imagine.

======

Steamy, affectionate, swelteringly hot, and shocking. A gorgeous tale of both self-mastery and release, with a brutal, cold-blooded murder to be solved. I especially liked how Holmes suffers because he cannot accept himself, and how Watson guides him toward a “cure”. Atmospheric and lush, with a thrumming undercurrent of desire and emotion throughout.

I've made several updates this month to my list of 100k+ word count Sherlock fics. Lots of great stories being finished up before series 4, keep 'em coming!
