Je continue ma série de lectures post-saison 3. Cette fois-ci, je vous présente une fic avec un peu moins d’action mais beaucoup de sentiments. Des sentiments très bien écrits.

Sherlock a fouillé dans le passé de Mary, et ce qu’il y a trouvé n’est pas beau à voir. John ne peut plus aimer sa femme. Et quand Mary et son bébé Lucy sont menacées par ce passé et qu’elles quittent Londres pour commencer une nouvelle vie, John perd à jamais sa petite fille. Il a le cœur brisé, et il est en colère : contre lui-même, contre Mary et ses mensonges, et même si c’est injuste, contre Sherlock qui n’a pas pu s’empêcher de déterrer ces secrets qui auraient mieux fait de le rester. Comment se reconstruire à présent ? Est-il possible que Sherlock et John puissent rebâtir leur relation comme avant la Chute ? Voire même qu’ils l’amènent un peu plus loin ?

Le premier chapitre est dur. John, aveuglé par sa colère, se comporte avec Sherlock d’une façon aussi violente qu’injuste. C’est assez choquant, alors n’insistez pas si ça ne vous plait pas, mais c’est heureusement la seule scène de ce type dans toute l’histoire et elle est justifiée par l’état d’esprit de John à ce moment là (attention, hein, je ne dis pas que le comportement de John est justifié dans l’absolu, loin de moi l’idée. Ce qu’il fait est mal. Je dis juste que cette scène violente n’est pas gratuite et sert l’histoire).

Bref, cette première scène difficile est le début d’un arc sentimental extrêmement bien développé, car tout est très justifié. On alterne entre les points de vue de John et Sherlock, ce qui permet d’expliciter leur deux visions de leur relation. Les sentiments de nos deux héros et leurs développements sont expliqués depuis la Chute jusqu’à présent, en passant par le mariage de John et Mary. C’est presque une méta, une analyse des personnages. Ce n’est cependant pas du tout lourd à lire, puisque toutes ces analyses sont très bien intégrées à l’histoire. Et grâce à cela, l’évolution de leur relation apparaît extrêmement logique, voire inévitable. J’ai trouvé cette analyse des personnages extrêmement intéressante et juste, et c’est pour moi la plus grande force de cette fic.

Pour revenir à l’histoire en elle-même, il y a peu d’action. Cela m’a un peu manqué, car j’adore vraiment l’aventure, mais la description des quelques enquêtes qui parsèment la fanfiction m’a apporté assez d’adrénaline pour ne pas du tout m’ennuyer. D’autant plus qu’on trouve de nombreuses scènes sexy, bien écrites et très agréables à lire, qui raviveront l’intérêt du plus difficile des lecteurs ! L’histoire alterne entre le présent et la reconstruction de John, et la narration des événements passés qui ont conduit à la déduction de Sherlock et au départ de Mary et du bébé. Cela créer pas mal de suspense, car on attend avec impatience de comprendre ce qui s’est réellement passé et ce qui a pu pousser John à renoncer à sa fille.

Kid 1: Chapter books don't have pictures, just words.

Kid 2: Oh.

Kid 2: ...

Kid 2: ...

Kid 2: Words are scary.

ugh I've got the 5am thing too. I'm sorry I haven't edited yet! I opened the doc but was feeling too craptastic to concentrate. fingers crossed for this evening. (I can't think of any major rewrites tho).

Oh dear don’t be sorry, you’re not to be blamed for a craptastic sleep-deprived me:)) But thanks for the head-up about there not being any major changes needed; I might just go ahead in writing and vent my frustration by making the next chapter a bit bloodier than first intended. 

And look what - the Torchwood author just replied some minutes ago. Probably right at the time I wrote my whiny post. I don’t know why I always have to whine to get things movng but obviously I have to. 

The less said about daylight saving, the better. 

I got tagged by mildredandbobbin to list the first sentences of my last ten fics. Thank you, my lovely! Of course, my first thought was, do I even have ten fics...? Turns out I do! (Even though some are just snippets.) LOL.

Okay, here we go (beginning from the latest story update and discounting prologues because my prologues are blah):

1.  Early into their acquaintance, John made a fundamental mistake about Azrail. (Manning)

2.  The first time Sherlock ever had him, the vampire asked John to sit on the huge, ornate bed, fully clothed. (Visitations)

3.  "Be still, John," warned Monseigneur, his voice a special blend of darkness— low and soft, melting sweetly around John as he turned sightlessly towards the lips that whispered into his ear. (The Proposal)

4.  It was raining when John first met him. (Captive Hearts)

5.  Sherlock Holmes stepped into the pool house at exactly midnight. (Essence)

6.  "Well, John," said Mycroft, "how long has it been since we last met? Three months? Four?" (His Way)

7.  In the coming months and years, John Watson would think back on that day and marvel at how normal it had all been. (Possession)

8.  London was haunted. (Haunted)

9.  If anyone were cheeky enough to ask him where he got the thing, John's answer would be at a bargain sale at Tesco— which would be nothing less than the truth. (Bargain Sale)

10.  The vampire sat on the comfortable armchair from across the doctor, one dark-trousered leg crossed elegantly over the other, white hands linked in front of him. (The Vampire’s Aria)

I’m really sorry for the lack of updates, my lovelies. Things have gone a bit pear-shaped with RL and I just need to get a lot of things done and sorted out. Promise I will be back to writing very soon. I miss it so much. Thanks very much for your kind understanding and patience.

“There was a growling sound outside, and a noise as of some great animal scuffling at the door. Bilbo wondered what it was, and whether it could be Beorn in enchanted shape, and if he would come in as a bear and kill them. He dived under the blankets and hid his head, and fell asleep again at last in spite of his fears.” [The Hobbit, Chapter 7 "Queer Lodgings," J.R.R. Tolkien)

That wasn’t entirely fear Bilbo felt when he first saw Beorn change - seems our hobbit has a bear kink (figuratively and literally). Beorn and Thorin manage to co-operate long enough to indulge him.

Notes:

HUGE thanks to Winter_of_our_Discontent and Jinglebell for providing close-reading eyes and enthusiastic cheerleading, and to everyone at #antidiogenes.

Like most of my Hobbit and LOTR fic, this is a hopeless mishmash of book and movie ‘verse. I take elements I like from both and I don’t know how to do it any other way. I don’t think this quite merits a bestiality tag, because Beorn is almost always mostly in his humanlike form here. Mostly. Others may disagree. You might. You were warned.

I thought so too but apparently not!! fixed now. Aww you are so lucky, I am annoyed because we could have tried to get tickets but had just seen Richard II and husband said one play was enough.

“One play was enough.” HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. {Theatre nerd here, thankfully married to another theatre nerd. And part of why I’m a - albeit currently freelancer with no work - theatre journalist.}

This was on the first day of what I ended up nicknaming “Geek Week” in London, because it all wound up perfect (links included only if you’re interested): 

Monday = The Crucible (review here: my husband, who wasn’t able to come to London with me, is a huge Arthur Miller fan - so, he wasn’t sure what to be more jealous of, that it was The Crucible, that it was at the Old Vic, or that it was Richard Armitage ;-) )

Tuesday = Richard III, with Martin (review here, shaky mostly crappy photos here)

Wednesday = going to the press preview of the Barbican’s Digital Revolution exhibit (on the cultural significance of geeky stuff - review here, photos from the exhibit here)

Thursday = went to the premiere screening of Delicious, which stars Louise Brealey and she was there for a Q&A (review here)

Friday = went to see Neil Gaiman at the Barbican (still need to write it up, but it was awesome)

Saturday = The Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff (photos here)

While I was in London (two months), I ended up seeing over 20 productions/events (my London tag for my blog is here, and my Flickr photo albums can be viewed here, and I still have a bunch I want to write up about it). While I knew it was expensive, I also knew I would NEVER have this chance again - and so went a little over budget kind of intentionally. I mean, London is kind of known for its theatre scene. 

Some, like The Crucible and when I went and saw Skylight, were cheap seats because of the seating. I also tried catching most of the free stuff (like The British Library, although they just happened to be having an exhibit on comics that I did pay go to see).

nothing wrong with staying in pjs if you can get away with it. I call it a success.
