Sherlock Fic Rec day 182

missilemuse:

Wee Doctor by americanjedi

Dr. John Watson is turned into an eight year old child, dealing with Sherlock who doesn’t know him in a world where he was never born. He’s a little stressed out, but he’s got his priorities straight. Original characters and London as a war zone, and John’s accidentally inventing a super genius.

My vote- OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! You have to read this!

Dear writer, you’re fast on the way to becoming my Yoda!

Sorry, but the summary doesn’t do enough to sell the story. This is what  a reader needs to know, without revealing anything spoilery.

First – John physically turns into a kid (and you have to ignore the way it happens, because it may be cliche, but the writer made it happen in half a chapter and in any case, the story starts after it happens). All the kidfic haters and those of you who’re thinking, ugh! not again, please don’t stop and READ AHEAD.

Second- He doesn’t lose his memories, so he still remains the John we know (with the knowledge and experience of an army surgeon), trapped inside an eight-year old’s body. Hence the title!

Third – and the most important thing– is that during the transformation, John-as-a-kid is transported back in time to when he hadn’t met Sherlock yet. So no one knows him, whether it’s Sherlock, Mrs. Hudson or Lestrade.

Has your jaw dropped open yet? If it hasn’t then it’s simply because you cannot imagine the extent of world-building a plot like this would require. The writer does it so bloody exceptionally well, that I didn’t realise how and when I had sped through 10 chapters. And wee John will leave you breathless with his characterisation, his loyalty and his coping mechanisms.

This is the second time (If you missed her first story here’s the LINK), that that she has taken an otherwise heard-of plot for the story’s spinal cord- in this case, John is turned into a kid, AND then turned the whole thing on it’s head. My mouth dropped open at the beginning of second chapter and it stayed that way all the way to chapter 10, where I just started salivating for the next part. The reason I’m reccing this even when it’s a w.i.p. is because, it deserves a WHOLE LOT MORE readership, love and encouragement. FIVE STARS! 

p.s. I can’t wait for Jim to enter the fray!

[Another tumblr post.  I can’t get stuff to import so I’m just going to do this nonsense manually.]


Chapter 14 of Wee Doctor updated on AO3!  I’m trying to answer comments.  I’ve received such beautiful comments, I’m the worst for not answering.  My author guilt will drive me to answer.  If I don’t it’s not because I don’t love you beautiful commenters.

Wee Doctoring, Rocking it Out

[This was my first post of Tumblr.  I was so young six years ago.]

So, I’ve been looking at a lot of blogs with BBC Sherlock and I thought, hey, I like pictures, and blogs and friends.  Soo…  Hello folks.  I like to write fanfiction and geek out about things which I feel like should put me in good company.  My too biggest stories are Cost of Living and Wee Doctor, both in the Sherlock BBC fandom.  Wee Doctor is an ongoing series, I’m on the second story in that now.  I’ll be posting lots of stuff related to those things. 

Up, up and away!
