For [livejournal.com profile] come_at_once - [livejournal.com profile] mildred_bobbin tagged me with the prompt: “retribution.” The title is a British and Canadian military slang term that refers to long, hard, punishment or hardship, particularly when disproportionate to the infraction.

Title: The Straw Man Fallacy
Fandoms: Sherlock/The Wicker Man (1973)
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Other Characters: Lord Summerisle, Miss Rose, Willow MacGregor, Alder MacGregor, Mr. Lennox, The Librarian, other Summerisle villagers and OCs
Rating: NC-17/explicit

Summary:
“Mr Holmes, I'm not in the habit of approaching . . . consultants. But you are correct. I have great faith in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. And until recently, I also had faith in the rule of law. Only the second one has wavered. Three years ago my fiancé, Sgt. Neil Howie of the West Highlands Constabulary, went to investigate an anonymous report of a missing child in a remote place called Summerisle. He never communicated with me while he was there, and he never returned.”

Summerisle is not a welcoming place to visitors, but it shows its best face at May Day. For ulterior motives.

Epilogue: Attained at the End of Desire

One year later, Sherlock and John make a return visit to Summerisle. This time, it's personal.

This story is now COMPLETE. Completely.

Title: The Adventure of the Mustelid Musk
Fandom: Sherlock (Appalachian AU, Bone Fiddle-verse)
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Rating: PG-13/T (for sexual suggestiveness)
Word count: 442 (tale told in two 221B's)
Warnings: none, since smells don't come through the internet.

Summary: Another side of rural romance. In which Sherlock might no longer be aromantic, but he's very aromatic.

vulgarweed: (tree_by_aurora_starwing)
Title: Stay All Night With Me
Fandom: Sherlock (Appalachian AU)
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Rating: M (angst, violence, sexual suggestiveness)
Warnings: a major character death that doesn't really happen.

Summary: It turns out that Vietnam is not John's last source of Nightmare Fuel. Sherlock adapts.

Author's Note: Unlike the previous two, this IS really plot-dependent on The Bone Fiddle and has major spoilers for the way it doesn't really end.



Stay All Night With Me )

The title is probably a lot more resonant if you've listened to The Bone Fiddle playlist
vulgarweed: (tree_by_aurora_starwing)
So last night I posted some some serious porn...and it has NO COMMENTS. Not a one. How is this even possible? Granted, the person I wrote it for had already seen it, but...Was it that bad?

I've been consoling myself by thinking it must have been the worst possible timing, but...I'm gonna pimp it out again.

It's called "Splat!", it's "Bone-Fiddle"-verse" it has Sherlock and John hunting each other with paintball guns--and it's really filthy, I promise! (Mind the warnings, it also gets a little intense.)

It's here:

SPLAT!
vulgarweed: (bf1)
Giftfic for my collaborator [livejournal.com profile] htebazytook. I'd promised to write this scenario months ago. I emailed it to her late NYE.

Coda to The Bone Fiddle, takes place about a month after that story - shortly after Christmas 1973. If you haven't read that, you can probably still understand this (there's not a real complicated plot *cough*) but you do have to get used to the idea that Sherlock and John live in a run-down coal-town surrounded by woods and mountains in southern West Virginia. That's the story of how they met, how they caught a serial killer, and how they hooked up and shacked up.

SPLAT!

Fandom: Sherlock; Appalachian AU
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Summary: Sherlock decides he does want to go hunting with John after all. But not for deer. (History tells us the first competitive game with with paintball guns was played in 1981. The first large, well-organized, PG-rated, and heterosexual one, perhaps...)
Rating: NC-17. Explicit. Smut, smut, and nothin' but.
Word count: ~6,800
Kinks/Warnings/Content: D/s (both ways), Gunplay, Knifeplay, “Non-con” Roleplay, Switching, Competition, Anal Sex, Rimming, Bondage, Hunting kink, Rough sex, Object insertion, Dirty Talk, Comeplay
Author's notes: The way Sherlock and John play is certainly much more RACK than SSC. (Consensual? Definitely yes. Safe and sane? Definitely not.)

SPLAT! )


Enjoy! This little AU 'verse is proving surprisingly sustainable. Porniness is a much more vicious motivator.

Summary: Appalachian AU! In November 1973, Vietnam vet John Watson returns to his family's old home in Arthel County, West Virginia, deep in coal country. His low expectations include recuperation and boredom. Instead he finds a ruined landscape, a series of grisly murders, and one of the world's weirdest neighbors.

Warnings/content: Some violence. Explicit sex. Tobacco-chewing. (Not all at the same time.)

Authors' Notes:

Vulgarweed: This was the result of a challenge to take a canon set in a region you're not from, and set it in a region you are from. I'd like to acknowledge the influence of Sharyn McCrumb and Vicki Lane. There's an homage to The Silence of the Lambs in one scene, and a direct paraphrase from A Study in Scarlet in the prologue. Arthel County is fictional (located in the vicinity of the real counties Raleigh, Wyoming, and Mercer) and it's named after the great North Carolina guitarist Arthel Lane “Doc” Watson, who just passed away last spring at age 89. Mountain music plays a huge role in this story, and I couldn't resist the meta: “According to Watson on his three-CD biographical recording Legacy, he got the nickname "Doc" during a live radio broadcast when the announcer remarked that his given name Arthel was odd and he needed an easy nickname. A fan in the crowd shouted "Call him Doc!" presumably in reference to the literary character Sherlock Holmes's sidekick Doctor Watson. The name stuck ever since. (Wikipedia)


Htebazytook: Of course I jumped at the chance to collaborate with one of my fandom heroes, and in my shiny new fandom, to boot! Suffice it to say I learned more about music, moonshine, and mining than anticipated.

COMPLETE STORY AT AO3
vulgarweed: (squonk_by_aurora_starwing)
"The Bone Fiddle," all ~60,000 words of it, has been edited, revised, and sent off to beta!

Over the last 4 months we've lived together in this AU world, [livejournal.com profile] htebazytook and I have:

-suffered old-time-fiddle poisoning (it's like alcohol poisoning--the line between a good time and a crisis point is a fine one)
-had our Google ads full of John Deere tractors, hunting equipment, and the Greenbrier Hotel & Resort
-had to reverse-Britpick ourselves even though we are both actual Appalachian-Americans
-learned an awful lot about the chemistry of coal-mining pollution


and

-reached the point where we both realized we were having so much fun that going back to writing alone would be difficult indeed. (But we can, we both have a lot of other stories to tell, in some cases on deadlines.) A toast to you, [livejournal.com profile] htebazytook!
-I finally found out how to pronounce her username (the 'h' is silent)
-already have a handle on the plot hook and a few key scenes of the sequel.
