Short Fic Recs

So I was thinking about how you don’t really see recs for very short fic, which is a shame because short fics are amazing, and one of the things I love about fandom is that it has an accepted place for really really short fiction.

And it’s International Fanworks Day. And I started putting together a list. And then I realized that a lot of these shared a theme.

Holmes fandom has multiple - numerous -

Excellent Epistolary Fics Under 1000 Words

Songs of Spring by Waid

"At this period of my life the good Watson had passed almost beyond my ken. An occasional week-end visit was the most that I ever saw of him. Thus I must act as my own chronicler. Ah! had he but been with me, how much he might have made of so wonderful a happening and of my eventual triumph against every difficulty! "

Holmes sends the manuscript of The Lion's Mane to the absent Watson. But perhaps his absence isn't as longterm as all that.

[Retirement fix-it fic. Holmes writes a love letter. It’s not exactly his area of expertise.]

--

A Less Than Final Stop by JaneTurenne

Shortly after The Waterfall, John Watson begins sending telegrams.

[Hiatus fix-it fic. I’ve spent most of the past week in LJ Holmes fandom nostalgia. Things like this are why.]

--

Unsent by hardboiledbaby

Epistolary ficlet set during the hiatus.

[Holmes wants to express sympathy. And something else.]

--

Chimera by stardust_made

Holmes writes a predestined letter.

[Self awareness is what I look for in a Holmes, maybe more than anything else.]

--

A very short exploration of phone (actually telegraphic) sex and orgasm control, in which this title is several times longer than the fic itself. by Skud

[Your reccer regrets nothing.]

--

And one Sherlock fic:

Half Midnight In The Arse-Crack Of Winter by faerymorstan

A brief interlude in a roller skating bar. Yknow. Like ya do.

[Probably better in context, but I couldn’t leave it out when it’s for me. <3]

I promised myself

That I wouldn't write smut for International Fanworks Day...so, of course, I'm writing smut.

My pen ran out! Vincent will have to wait.

Rating: General Audiences

Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply

Category: Gen

Fandom: Wander Over Yonder

Relationship: Wander & Sylvia

Characters: Wander, Sylvia

Additional Tags: International Fanworks Day 2017, this was supposed to be funny i swear, wander's campfire stories

Summary: Sylvia snoops into Wander's activities on her phone and finds that not only is he a Boney, he's been writing fanfic.

Notes: This story is both in honor of @ao3org‘s International Fanworks Day and another piece in the tower of time, effort, and love that has gone into both Wander Over Yonder and the @savewoy movement to get it a season 3. Fanworks, fanfiction in this case, are such important forms of expression and help to create a strong, tight-knit community. 40,000+ people have signed just one of several petitions to see WOY back on the air, to boot, and through an entire fandom's efforts, I'm sure we can get that.
