unlettyrde: Blonde woman looking over her shoulder; text is "Watson" (Default)
This journal is just a fanfic repository. My personal journal is on DW as [personal profile] pendrecarc or LJ at [livejournal.com profile] pendrecarc, and I'm also on AO3 as [archiveofourown.org profile] pendrecarc. Feel free to look around and comment (or not!) as you like. Feedback is love, and courteous concrit is always welcome. Please consider anything I write open for remixing or other transformative works, but also please drop me a line about it!

I don't warn for character death, but I do try to flag for triggers. Please let me know if I could do a better job of that.

Many thanks to my RL friend B. for the quick and dirty beta and Britpick.



Never let me deny the value of the fairer sex, Watson. My life would be considerably poorer without it. )

Title: Housekeeping
Fandom: Chalion Saga
Words: 2,600
Characters: Iselle, Cazaril
Rating: General

Summary: The Royina Iselle dy Chalion attends to some domestic matters.

Written for Yuletide 2011 as a gift for [archiveofourown.org profile] Sildominarin, who requested Iselle and Cazaril:

I'm really craving sort of an introspective piece for this one, preferably Iselle looking back on everything Cazaril has done for her. But if you have a great idea of your own, feel free to use it. I'll love anything from this subject.



Iselle was working on many things. )

Title: Structural Integrity; or, how Jo Watson met Moriarty after Reichenbach
Fandom: Sherlock (BBC)
Words: 26,000
Characters: Jo Watson, ensemble cast and OFCs
Rating: Teen
Warnings: Nothing to add to Boston Marriage
Illustrations: by [livejournal.com profile] le_prince_lutin

Summary: In which there are consequences for prior actions, Mycroft Holmes has his manicured fingers in a few too many pies, and Jo Watson negotiates civilian life with mixed success.

Please do note that this is an ongoing series, and this instalment provides neither a beginning nor a tidy wrap-up. It is, in fact, very middly! It picks up some weeks after the events in Boston Marriage.

Chapter One: First Report of Dr Watson
Chapter Two: The Women Concerned in the Case
Chapter Three: A Practical Man of Affairs
Chapter Four: A Step Upon the Stair

[livejournal.com profile] le_prince_lutin has done amazing work on this! I've included the cover image here and the scene illustrations within the fic, but they're all cut down to fit with the text. Here's the art post with full-size images, which do include some spoilers. Stop by and leave feedback!

Again, many thanks to [personal profile] verity for the encouragement and [livejournal.com profile] innie_darling for betaing above and beyond the call of duty. Any remaining errors or eccentricities are entirely my own.

Title: Structural Integrity; or, how Jo Watson met Moriarty after Reichenbach

Summary: In which there are consequences for prior actions, Mycroft Holmes has his manicured fingers in a few too many pies, and Jo Watson negotiates civilian life with mixed success.

Please do note, just for the record, that this isn't a self-contained story; plot threads will be left unresolved for later casefic. It picks up some weeks after Boston Marriage and relies heavily on events in Doyle's canon.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] ladyofthelog for all the encouragement and to [livejournal.com profile] innie_darling for her beta during the middle of a hurricane, people. Any remaining mistakes, eccentricities, or issues are entirely my own.

Title: The Well-Born
Fandom: Vorkosigan Saga/Queen’s Thief
Rating: General
Pairings: Canon-compliant
Summary: In which the Minister of War returns to his home planet to find that his wife has not been idle in his absence.


The Eddisian Minister of War loved his wife. )


unlettyrde: A woman in a velvet dress, holding a hooked hand (Queen of Attolia)
Title: On the Desk of Simon Illyan
Fandom: Vorkosigan Saga/Queen’s Thief
Timeline: After Cetaganda, but before Mirror Dance; spoilers through A Conspiracy of Kings
Rating: General
Pairings: *hysterical laughter*
Summary: In which the Dendarii Free Mercenaries go somewhat beyond the bounds of their mission, the Queen of Attolia gains an admirer, and the chickens of Aral Vorkosigan's misspent youth come home to, er, roost. Crack-fic or crossover of alarming plausibility? You decide!


CLASSIFIED IS-19 )

Title: For Great Justice
Fandom: Sherlock (BBC)
Length: 4,400 words
Rating: E. Smut isn't really my thing, but call this an experiment.
Summary:

unlettyrde: A woman in a velvet dress, holding a hooked hand (Queen of Attolia)

Title: The Best Interest of Nations
Fandom: Megan Whalen Turner’s Queen’s Thief series.
Length: 18,000 words
Timeline: During and soon after The King of Attolia
Spoilers: For the first three books and the HarperCollins blurb for A Conspiracy of Kings
Rating: T, for some violence
Notes: The discovery of a bronze pen-nib in the ruins of Pompeii indicates that metal pens were in use as early as the first century AD, but they did not become popular until much later than the Byzantine period, and so it seems likely that the characters in The Thief and its sequels would have used quills. Ms. Turner has gone to great pains to assure her readers that the chronology of her world is not quite the same as ours, and as a goose-feather wouldn’t stand up to the magus’ rather unorthodox use of the pen in question, I decided to take a little historical license.
Summary: In which a story is told, swords are drawn, and adventures are planned, but nobody arranges a cart.

Posted to LiveJournal in December 2009, before A Conspiracy of Kings was published. Now very slightly AU.

Part I: The gods are not swayed as we are by the pangs of love, nor are their affections and loyalties very much like ours, but some take an interest in these curious mortal preoccupations. )

This is my contribution to the Sherlock Big Bang challenge. It was illustrated by [livejournal.com profile] sleightofhand (full art post here) and fanmixed by [livejournal.com profile] crediniaeth at zellersee.

(23-5-2011: ETA that [livejournal.com profile] le_prince_lutin has also made artwork.)

Summary: In which Jo Watson tries to take this therapy business into her own hands, London produces enough crimes of interest to satisfy even Sherlock Holmes, and the Bechdel test doesn't know what hit it. Game on.

Part I - The Element of Surmise

In which motive is the key point, and Jo Watson takes satisfaction in the earning of some spectacular bruises.

Chapter 1: the mating rituals of flightless birds
Chapter 2: alas, then, she is drown'd
Chapter 3: we do so like to put labels on things

Part II - The Cardinale

In which Sherlock indulges in melodrama and musical esoterica, and Jo Watson learns a thing or two about artistry.

Chapter 1: the whims of a mad genius
Chapter 2: sulking of Wagnerian proportions
Chapter 3: I hear androgyny's in for the fall


Part III - The Long Game

In which things get a little too interesting, and Jo Watson grapples with moral liabilities and minor miracles.

Chapter 1: quite the little paradox
Chapter 2: perilously close to normalcy
Chapter 3: what it takes to make you kill a man
Chapter 4: collateral damage
Chapter 5: the beast of many heads
