Silk Road by Saki101

Pairing: John/Sherlock
Length: 9,944 words
Rating: Mature
Warnings: None given
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: Sherlock is on a case involving an international serial killer while also trying to solve the mystery of the package under John's bed. This story can be read as a stand-alone. Readers may also read it in the context of the Experiments Series in which case it would slot in after Locked Rooms (Part II), the eighth story in the series. Experiments begins with Zygomata.

Reccer's comments: At the time I read this, my note to the author was that this story cast a spell on me. It still does. The relationship of John and Sherlock is presented through gorgeous and sensual imagery, a fascinating case, stories inside stories, and unanswered questions. Saki101 creates a mood and a world that doesn’t fade. The primary image is a secret package of green brocade fabric. What John does with this, the back story of how he came to own it, and Sherlock’s interest in it is the heart of this story. Other highlights include a visit to Sherlock’s tailor, John and Sherlock reviewing case notes while flying, and a visit to an Art Library. If you're ready to travel into a reality heavy with mood and sensuous details, this is your fic.

This story was part of the Holmestice 2012 December Fanworks Exchange and although it is part of a series (which is still on my list to read!), I read it as a stand-alone story.

This Den of Geek article had some fun with anagrams of Trenzalore. ("Learnt zero" and "Real Zen crap", for instance.) How about "Fields of Trenzalore"? I tried it out and learned something very important: the human mind is excellent at making connections that don't exist, finding meaning where there is none. Here are my faves:

Frozen tears, old life - Most angsty!
Frozen fears, told lie - The Doctor lied about his name!
A frozen doll set fire - Our arch-villain is a doll
Soldier Zero left fan - Remember Prisoner Zero? Well, he got put in jail because he left a fan behind
Left ear frozen solid - The Doctor whispered his name into River Song's ear, but it was frozen solid so everyone is safe

The word TARDIS is in there too, but I didn't go there.

Even Bob is sick of the Sonic...
