rec: theory of narrative causality (sh)

[jukeboxhound_backup]

Deleting my original post because hello bitterness, fuck you, THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER.  Normally I just throw recs at delicious, but I enjoyed this one too much to not say anything.  Usually I don't care for "character [x] discovered fanfiction, is horrified/turned on/etc" meta, but this one and longsufferingly 's As Seen in the Urban Dictionary, in which the characters were fans themselves all along, have been lovely.  And this one made me laugh hard enough that I should be glad for taking advantage of Scotland's healthcare system.

And yes, someone may have noticed that I've now posted a similar prompt in the X-Men kinkmemes.  Hush, you.

The Theory of Narrative Causality
By: anonymous (if the author's de-anoned, let me know?  Because Jesus.)
Fandom: BBC!Sherlock Holmes
Pairing: Holmes/Watson (with fic!Holmes/fic!Watson, LOL INCEPTION)
Rating: Probably NC-17
Prompt: Sherlock is a well-known fanartist whose online antics always land him on fandom_wank. John's a beloved BNF fanfiction author. They meet at a convention; geeky love ensues.  [NOTE: The actual story differs from this slightly, but still works.]
Warning: It's a (loooong) commentfic, so navigating it can get rather irritating.  Hopefully someone somewhere has posted a link to the author's journal.

(I now have no excuse not to go to a cafe that doesn't have Internet so I can actually get some work done.  Yes, Internet, this is what you've reduced me to.)

ETA: I keep thinking about how strange it would be to read fic of characters with your own name and your lover's.  I share a relatively rare first name with a minor but infamous character in Harry Potter, and it still trips me out whenever I see it.

ETA2: Link to the Fandom Lounge post of this, which itself links to the fic's main parts.  I think I was so excited after reading that I entirely forgot that this was where I'd found it.  Thank you, chofi .  I'd lose my head and just keep smiling half the time without you. 

ETA3: Thanks, dracontia .  :D  It seems the author of this is falling_voices , and here's a round-up post of everything for it.
