#finding fics

It’s a Neteyam x reader fic and basically it’s like a Neteyam x innocent/sheltered metkayina reader and reader and Neteyam fall in love and they both end up In the same secluded spot together one day and get to talking and Neteyam flirts with her a bit and then they both end up back there day after day and each visit escalates into something more and him teaching her how to have sex and how to touch herself and stuff and she always sneaks away from her mauri early to see Neteyam as they fall in love in the passing days but they can never be close or hang out in public during the day time but then reader dad (tonowari) sets reader up to give Neteyam current reading lessons and breathing lessons by he shore and they do but they also end up fucking like SOOOO MUCH and then RONAL CATCHES THEM FUCKING IN THE WATER! and reader then gets grounded and confined to her mauri and tonowari and ronal start fighting over their parenting styles and tonowari putting to much trust in reader. And reader sees glimpses of Neteyam every now and then as she is allowed out but only to do her chores and even then she is constantly chaperoned by her elder cousin and like 2 weeks go by and then one day one the beach when her cousin gets distracted by a friend call song her over to tell her some boy drama reader finds an opportunity to escape constant supervision and find ‘tey so she does. Reader swims to a cove in the water away from the shore under pure luck that Neteyam might be there.HE IS and then they fuck again😭🙏well actually no….because they’ve never actually had full sex Before but they were planning on doing it right there and then but then they got interrupted by readers cousin’s voice calling out in search for her so reader got dressed and Neteyam hid and then readers cousin’s voice calling only found reader standing there so the worst that happened was only reader getting shouted at a bit.BUT THEN TONOWARI FEELS BAD FOR READER BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHAT ITS LIKE TO FALL IN LOVE YOUNG AND HE KNOWS THAT THE MORE HIM AND RONAL RESTRICT READER THE MORE SHE WILL WANT NETEYAM.SO THEN tonowari takes reader on an all day fishing trip to get away and kinda hints to reader about an island a bit further away from the area they where in and how he “WOULDNT NOTICE IF THEY WERE GONE 😭😭😭” HE LOW-KEY SHIPS THEM.SO THEN READER GOES TO THE ISLAND AND NETEYAMS THERE AND THEY FUCK PROPERLY THIS TIME LIKE ALL DAY then reader leaves to go back home again with tonowari and it’s kinda a bittersweet ending but mostly just because readers still grounded but after they fucked on the island Neteyam said that he would speak to tonowari the next day and ask for his blessing so him and reader can do it the right way instead of sneaking around.

AND THEY DONT MATE BUT THE WRITER SAID THAT SHE WILL WRITE A SEQUEL AND I REALLY WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT~I THINK THE WRITERS PFP IS A JAKE SULLY FAN ART OF HIM BEING GROPED IN THE CHEST BY A HAND THATS OF FRAME 💀 or maybe that was from another one I read OR IT MIGHT BE ART OF EITHER A BROWN HAIRED OR BLACK HAIRED GIRL.

It's a massive crossovers, mostly with superhero fandoms (DC, Marvel, Danny Phantom, X-Men, etc)

At that time there were only two chap and the plot centers about in-universe identity reveal. An unknown villain has used some kind of machine to reveal the names of the superheroes/vigilantes en masses.

There is social media in the tags but I cannot find it so maybe I misremember it or using the filter wrong (finger crossing hoping the author didn't delete the fic)

pls i cant find it where did it go i swear im not crazy and i read it ik i did

Re-Read Recs: Victorian Edition

Thanks to @totallysilvergirl for pointing me to this post by @acethatlovesdinos asking for more Victorian Johnlock. Your timing is great; I was just compiling a list of Victorian setting fics for my next RRR post!

If you go searching specifically for Johnlock in a Victorian setting, part of the problem, as always, will be finding things. As admirable as the AO3 tagging system is, when you're searching for something specific, you still have to dig a bit.

Many people, myself included, assign all their Victorian stories to the fandom tag "Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle."

But some writers add "Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle" to all their stories, including those set in BBC or other adaptations, because they wish to attribute the characters' creator.

And some do not use the ACD tag at all because their stories, even those in a Victorian setting, are inspired by the BBC adaptation and imagined with those characters.

There are other tags: Victorian, Victorian Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Victorian Holmes/Watson, Victorian Johnlock.

(My own approach: readers may imagine whatever actors they prefer; I tag by the setting. Even so, I've tagged stories set in the 1920s and 1820s as ACD, even though these are outside of the Victorian Era.)

There is no one-click method to separate out all the stories, and only the stories, where Watson and Holmes are together in a Victorian setting. AO3 lets us use tags however we wish; it's a folksonomy, a collaborative system. For the number and variety of stories contained there, it is the most practical method.

You can search an individual author's works, filtering and sorting by kudos, hits, relationships, tags, and other things. You can search anyone's bookmarks in the same way. (I'm always surprised when people don't know this!)

If you search my works, for example, you will find 60 stories in the Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle fandom. A couple of those are tagged 'timetravel,' so if you don't want that, you can exclude that tag. If you don't want any stories with Mary Morstan married to John Watson, you can exclude John Watson/Mary Morstan under Relationships.

However you search, if you filter your search results by hits or kudos, you will find that stories in the ACD/Victorian Johnlock category have many fewer of these. AO3 went live only a year or so before BBC Sherlock began to air, and it was one of the top fandoms for many years. There are a huge number of stories in the BBC fandom.

But there are dedicated and talented authors who have been writing Holmes/Watson for a long time, and today I'd like to point you towards a few of them. Here are some of my favorite re-reads:

Memento Vivere - @mydogwatson - The life stories of Sherlock Holmes, Mycroft Holmes and John Watson. An alternate history.

My Gentle Sin Is This - janeofarc - It takes a near miss for Holmes to realize that he cannot imagine his life without Watson.

Missing Pages - @PlaidAdder - a group of interlinked short stories (most between 2000 and 7000 words) which tell the story of how Holmes and Watson really came to be separated at the Reichenbach Falls, and how they found each other again

Missing - @Random_Nexus - Holmes is missing. Watson is trying to figure out where he is and what happened.

Oubliette - gardnerhill - A series: a treatise on love and grief. Watson is kidnapped by a gang; Holmes must find him before it's too late.

Laphroaig in the Lumber Room - wordybirdy - Holmes & Watson discover a bottle of Laphroaig inside the lumber room at Baker Street. A drinking game of truth results in intimate confessions.

All of these authors have written many excellent Victorian Holmes/Watson fics. But there are many more you should look at if you want to read more of our boys in their original canon setting. I think I will have to write a Part 2 for this post!

Thanks for reblogging!
