Caffeine Diary

Fics, fics, and more fics!

This all started because I got sucked into the July 2011 Prompt Fics fest over at the Watson's Woes community. I've added more since then, and will add more as I post more in the future, so I figured the least I could do was put a Master Fic List here where it would be easy for people to find. Hopefully you'll discover something you enjoy amidst all my rambling and silliness.

Side note on labels: Most of my fics are "squint-friendly", meaning you can read them as gen or bromance or slash depending on how you want to read them. Exceptions are usually noted, but I freely admit to a certain lack of diligence in that area. Also, my default setting is slash, so don't be surprised if it turns up when you weren't expecting it; it's safe to assume that I always expect it.

( Canon-related fics )

( BBC-Sherlock fics )

( BBC Sherlock Watson's Woes 2013 )

( BBC Sherlock Watson's Woes 2014 (mostly) )

( July Writing Prompts 2015 )

All of these fics (and many from two other fandoms) can be found over on www.DNashionalArchive.com. Frankly, I think they're easier to read over there (i.e., prettier), but you can't comment there should you so desire.
You can also find all these Sherlockian fics over on AO3, where you can comment and/or kudo if you'd like to.
