socair!
Last month I bid in two auctions for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
help_haiti, and won both of them.
What I got for the first was "Crow Arithmetic", a poem about math and crows by the awesomely talentedyhlee.
What I got for the second was "Scenes from an Unusual Domestic Arrangment", by MerryArwen aka laleitha. It is Sherlock Holmes OT4, and it's pretty damn awesome--carefully paced, beautifully observed, and exquisitely sensitive to the differences between each party, as well as to the balancing involved in crafting a unity out of all of them.
Clearly, I'm the luckiest fan in the world.
fish_echo talked about wanting OT4 and/or OT3 fic after seeing the movie, and happily the fandom has started to provide some really excellent stuff. Aside from "Scenes", I really enjoyed "Imagine Me and You (and you and you)" by flash_indie. It's the hot, porny, action/adventure OT4! (I have to admit that one or two background details made me go o.O, but just roll with it; it's worth it.)
It took me a while to realize that MerryArwen is alsorecessional. She's been writing some great Holmes OT3 fic. I particularly enjoyed "three in a bed" and "Trivial Details". She's also been writing great pieces about Mary herself on her journal--I love the way she writes Mary, as someone who is largely content with her role as (to quote Holmes in "Scenes") an English housewife and who doesn't find it confining--indeed, it's almost empowering. (Partly my love for MerryArwen's Mary arises from the fact that the Mary in the OT3 I am writing is, um, well, much closer to the pistol-wielding cat-burglar-in-training of "Imagine Me and You".) Either way, awesome stories.
Anyone else read any other great Holmes OT3 and/or OT4 lately?
