A podfic rec list for @mmelibrarian88! They asked for best podficced works without teenlock, parentlock, or Mary (sorry - I actually did include one parentlock and one story with Mary but mentioned it in the descriptions). Includes links both to podfics and written works: podfics are linked in the title, written works linked at the end. Enjoy!
Performance in a Leading Role: written by Mad_Lori, read by aranel_parmadil and consulting_smartass. The classic actor AU in which Sherlock and John are actors who fall in love. Such a fantastic fic; absolutely give this a try if you haven’t already! [x]
Mise en Place: written by azriona, read by consulting_smartass. Another fantastic AU in which Sherlock revives failing restaurants and John owns a family restaurant. Truly a lovely work, so wonderful. [x]
Working On the Edges: written by earlgreytea68, read by aranel_parmadil and consulting_smartass. A brilliant AU in which both John and Sherlock are in the Winter Olympics. It’s nothing short of lovely, I highly recommend it! [x]
Shatter the Darkness (Let the Light In): written by MojoFlower, read by consulting_smartass. A fantastic magical realism AU in which Sherlock was cursed into becoming a genie before he meets John. Such a wonderful fic, I love this one. [x]
The Frost Is All Over: written by Chryse, read by aranel_parmadil. One of my favorite AU fics of all. Sherlock is a lord and John is a commoner, and they grow up together and fall in love. So fantastic; a must-read! [x]
The Gilded Cage: written by BeautifulFiction, read by AxeMeAboutAxinomancy. An epic Omegaverse fic that turns the norms of the Omegaverse on its head. Absolutely amazing and beautifully done! [x]
Two Two One Bravo Baker: written by abundantlyqueer, read by aranel_parmadil. A classic AU in which Sherlock meets John while on a case in Afghanistan. A fantastic war story that is scorchingly hot. [x]
Nature and Nurture: written by earlgreytea68, read by AxeMeAboutAxinomancy. The classic parentlock AU in which Sherlock is accidentally cloned and Sherlock and John raise the baby. I can’t recommend this fic enough, it’s fantastic! [x]
John Watson’s Twelve Days of Christmas: written by earlgreytea68, read by consulting_smartass. Any AU that starts with Sherlock and John meeting while dressed as elves is, in my opinion, a fantastic story. Also features a fake relationship and loads of pining - what’s not to love? [x]
All the Best and Brightest Creatures: written by wordstrings, read by bagofthumbs. Honestly one of the best stories I’ve ever encountered. An AU in which Sherlock put away Jim Moriarty when he was ten, and now Moriarty wants revenge. It’s a work in progress, but so, so worth it. I absolutely recommend it. [x]
you are a paradigm: written by 1electricpirate, read by consulting_smartass. A fantastic Potterlock fic in which John is a wizard and Sherlock is a Muggle. Incredible, one of my favorite Potterlock fics. [x]
Electric Pink Hand Grenade: written by BeautifulFiction, read by sevenpercent. A classic sickfic in which Sherlock gets debilitating migraines and John takes care of him. [x]
A River Without Banks: written by Chryse, read by aranel_parmadil. This is easily one of the best fics I’ve ever read: Sherlock lives different versions of his life until he gets it right. The description doesn’t do it justice, it is fantastic. (This is the one with Mary, but it’s so amazing I couldn’t resist, sorry). I highly recommend it! [x]
The Edinburgh Problem: written by snorklepie, read by Lockedinjohnlock. This is easily one of my favorite case fics of all time. Sherlock and John travel to Scotland to help Sherlock’s cousin after a murder occurs. So brilliant; a must-read! [x]
Bread and Wine and Curry Once a Week: written by cwb, read by aranel_parmadil. A great story of miscommunication, pining, and a happy (and smutty) ending. John tells Sherlock to write a letter to the person he’s in love with, not realizing it’s him. [x]
Truly Madly Deeply: written by astolat, read by themusecalliope. A fantastic first time fic after the Three Garridebs. I love this one! [x]
Midnight Blue Serenity: written by BeautifulFiction, read by aranel_parmadil. A fantastic case fic in which John and Sherlock go undercover at a club. So, so good. Definitely give this a read! [x]
Our Enthusiasms Which Cannot Always Be Explained: written by withoutawish, read by SherlockWho and withoutawish. This is one of my favorite fics of all time. A fantastic Christmas fic that turns all of the tropes on their heads, it’s fantastic. A slow burn with perfect characterization: go read it! [x]
