Tag List

Ask box - lost a fic? looking for a rec?* found someone’s fic? want to make a rec?** just want to say hi?

Search: Go to the main page and enter your search term in the search field, or navigate directly: swissmissficrecs.tumblr.com/search/yourterm

* Please look through the master lists before submitting your request. Chances are, there is already a list with something similar. Also, as it says at the top, I am mainly a Johnlock reader. Asking for other ships, genfic focusing on other characters, other fandoms, or something so specific it is basically a writing prompt will probably not get you anything other than a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .

** If you want to rec a fic to me, first and foremost it must be COMPLETE. I do not read WIP’s. Also please read this.

Johnlock recs for @strawberrywinter4:

@Strawberrywinter4 said: "Life is kicking my ass right now, so we all know one thing that ALWAYS makes ANYONE feel better… Johnlock fanfiction."

Here are a few (in no particular order; I love them all!) that I reread often:

Sunshine and kittens for you, @strawberrywinter4, very, very soon! (And loads of johnlock ... it works for me.)

Hi! I just finished Common Grounds by couchbarnacle and i was wondering if you had a.) Any other long teenlock fics like this one or b.) Had any fics where ultimately Moriarty is killed by John? Thankss!!

Reply:

For request a), please check out my Teenlock Master List as well as my Teenlock tag for any that were posted after that list.

Request b) is too specific to search and I don't know of any offhand. If anyone else has one, please comment.

I asked about fics by Sideris a short while ago but I could not remember the exact fic I was looking for. I have remembered now that it was called Working It Out. Do you or any of your followers happen to have a link on the Wayback? I would be very grateful.

swissmissficrecs answered:

Reply: Yes, it's there. As always, download and save your own copy, as it may disappear at any time.

Working It Out by Sideris (111K, E, Johnlock) This story started out as a one-off. Chapter 1 (Epiphany) is unaltered and can still be read that way. John discovers it's Sherlock's birthday whilst Sherlock makes a series of disturbing discoveries of his own, leading them to embark upon a relationship that was never going to be easy. Please note that I have chosen not to use any warnings. The story may contain triggers.

May I ask how you were able to download it? When I try, I get an error.

Reply: You can't use the download button on the Wayback pages. You have to highlight and copy the entire text (CTRL-A, CTRL-C), then paste into your own document (CTRL-V), for example Googledocs, Word, etc. Much easier on desktop.

My most popular individual recs

I did a list like this 7 years ago and was curious whether the statistics had changed. Short answer: yes. All but one of these recs were made after that last list. I'm not sure what that means, as I would have expected older recs to get more notes just because they've been around longer. Maybe it's that there has been more thirst for fic recs in the last 7 years, or that the reblog culture on tumblr has improved.

The links here go to the recs, which in turn have links to the fics.

  1. Radioactive Trees in a Red Forest by maribor_petrichor (280K, E, Johnlock)
  2. He Was A Friend of Mine by SinceWhenDoYouCallMe_John (38K, E, Johnlock, John/OFC)
  3. Hello You by weeesi (20K, NR, Johnlock)
  4. Oh What A Night by anotherwellkeptsecret (100 panels, M, Johnlock) - Note that this has been deleted from AO3 but the link to the pages on tumblr at the bottom of the rec still works.
  5. A Promise Made to Be Broken by PlantsAreNeat (37K, E, Johnlock) - This was number 1 on the old list, and the only one to remain in the top 10.
  6. (Never) Turn Your Back To The Sea by DiscordantWords (39K, M, Johnlock)
  7. Roommates are for little people by alexxphoenix42 (69K, E, Johnlock)
  8. A Home For Us by sussexbound (30K, M, Johnlock)
  9. The Winter Garden by Callie4180 (31K, T, Johnlock)
  10. Pygmalion by ancientreader (9K, T, Johnlock)

Hi hope you are doing very well in this fine day ❣️ Please help me find fics that are focused on john and sherlock's long time romantic relationship, with their highs and lows for years or the development throughout the years. Just long time established relationship goodies with all the baggage that comes with it. Thank you so much!!!!

Reply: I'm not sure if you're the same anon who asked for fics focusing on the progress of their relationship over many years, but if not I just answered an almost identical request here.

Can I ask for johnlock fics that focus on the progess of their relationship, and how it grows throughout the years, focusing more on microplots and development of them as people and together? Something I have been really craving. Thank you!

Reply: Here are a few rec lists that should have something:

I’m looking for a fic where Sherlock has a kid. IIRC, the kid and mother live in a low income high rise housing complex. I think John ends up working at the clinic nearby. The kid is older, maybe teen. It’s not the one where the kid was cared for by Mycroft and then John takes over post Reichenbach.

One year later: The original requester has reported that they found this fic themselves. Thanks for writing in and letting us know. Always enjoy tying up loose ends!

Some time ago, I asked you to help me find a fic where Sherlock has a son. The son and his mum lived on a dangerous housing estate. John worked in a clinic nearby. That was about all I could recall. I’m happy to report I accidentally stumbled across the fic again! I’m not sure if it’s on your kid fic lists, but if it’s not, it should be. It’s a great twist on Sherlock as a father. It’s by the excellent Polyphony:

Thank you so much for finding the riding crop fic. It’s an odd little fic but seemed so in character and quirkily charming. Great to revisit it.

Reply: You're welcome, I'm glad it was the right one.

Thank you so much for the link to the Sideris fic. I have now downloaded it. whilst writing, I recall another fic. I think it might have been by Sideris too where John beat Sherlock with a crop thinking he wanted that and Sherlock let John thinking John wanted it. They sorted it out and it had a happy ending. Anyone know if? Or have a link? So many thanks.

Reply: Could it be this one?

If so, it's still on AO3, just orphaned. :)

The Upper Hand by Orphan_Account (5K, E, Johnlock) Summary: Two silly buggers and a riding crop. What can possibly go wrong? With added icecream.

I am WAY impressed that you found that story by sideris on the Wayback Machine! Can you tell me how you did it? Like what search terms/commands did you use? There are several works that are gone from AO3 that I'd love to find. You don't have to answer publicly if you don't want to. Thanks!

Reply: I'm sure there are lots of better tutorials on how to use the Wayback Machine on the Internet Archive but here's my method:

  1. Find the link of the fic you want to retrieve. I do this by googling the fic title and author, which usually leads to a link on a rec list.
  2. Plug the dead link into the Wayback.
  3. If you're lucky, it will return a set of dates when the page was archived. You may need to check more than one date to find the most complete version.
  4. If you're unlucky, it may say there are no archived pages for that url. You can then try variations such as adding ?view_full_work=true at the end, or finding a link to an individual chapter and trying that.
  5. Very rarely, you can find the download version. For example, here is a download version of Bakers With Benefits by Raina_at (this is not a deleted fic, it's just an example). The template link is https://download.archiveofourown.org/downloads/PUT THE FIC NUMBER HERE/Put_The_Title_Here.pdf (or .mobi, .html, .epub, .azw3) This is trickier because the title may not be the full title. I don't know if there is an exact algorithm for how the title gets rendered. The title needs to have underscores between the words.

I hope that helps you, and if anyone has any additional tricks or tips, feel free to comment.

hi! i was hoping you'd be able to help me find a fic i haven't been able to find for a long time.

i remember this johnlock fic where they have to pretend to be on a honeymoon at some island I think. John steals a laptop while sherlock pretends to contract anthrax from the big bad to make him feel like he's won and then he wakes up in a hospital bed and they kiss for real and they live happily ever after

i remember reading it maybe around 2016 or 2017, and i'm not sure if i've just lost it or if it's been deleted so i was hoping you could help! thank you!

Hey Nonny!

I’ve read a lot of fake dating/marriage fics and I’m not familiar with this one.

Maybe someone out there knows?

Alexandra Quick and the Wizard War - by Inverarity - Harry Potter [AO3]
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
archiveofourown.org|Organization for Transformative Works

Length when completed: ca. 375K in 66 chapters Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Characters: Alexandra Quick (Inverarity) Additional Tags: American Wizarding World - Freeform, Post-Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Original Character(s), Female Protagonist Series: Part 6 of Alexandra Quick Summary:

The Deathly Regiment has been revealed! Alexandra Quick’s actions have started a wizard war that may tear the Confederation apart. Determined to make her own choices despite her father’s schemes and the fate prescribed for her by the Stars Above, Alexandra wants more than anything to protect her friends and family. But no one is safe, and Alexandra and the wizarding world will never be the same.

======

I am soooo excited for this! The latest book in this incredible series will be posting twice a week, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Set in a fully re-imagined American wizarding world that is every bit as intricate as Rowling’s and then some, the quality in every respect easily puts it in a class of its own and rivals the original in terms of readability, excitement, appeal, and firing the imagination. Every single character is highly engaging, with fully rendered personalities, while the plots are true page-turners that abound in meticulous planning, explosive emotion, unexpected twists, and flat-out fun. The whole thing is an absolute pleasure to indulge in, delivering satisfaction in spades on every level.

Full disclosure: I was part of the beta-reading team for this book and several of the previous parts of the series.

Hello there. Thank you for keeping this blog going and for the great content. Are you able to help with links to any fics by sideris or stonewingedangel. I went to revisit these recently and found they had been deleted.

I just reblogged links to some of stonewingedangel's fics on the Wayback that I found a couple of years ago.

I don't keep a directory of titles by every author. Please ask specifically for which titles you want and I'll see if I can dig them up on the Wayback. However, I just looked for "Making It Better" and "To the Gold of Frankincense Through Myrrh" and couldn't find either one there in complete form.

If you ask off anon, I can let you know what I have saved and send them to you. I don't respond to anon requests about what I have saved.
