So, rachel2205 is a genius, and has started the comm sherlockhet to celebrate the co-ed relationships is a very slashy fandom! Head on over to read some quality boy/girl love! (I now feel like I need to write more Jim/Molly fic to fill the place up! THIS IS A VERY GOOD THING! ♥)

(Also: I want someone to write a story about what Mrs. Hudson and her husband got up to before he was naughty and sentenced to die!)

I have a pretty high tolerance for dark, jsyk. I don't know why, really, though I rarely seek it out. It's just gratuitous smut that I tend to skim over.

So! That was dark and creepy, but... was very good. Quite very good. You kind of skirted the line that marks the edges of purple prose, but it made for a properly vivid dream atmosphere. Plus I think the way it ties into the fairy tale theme makes it even more super-creepy (fairy tales make for excellent darkness magnifiers--I think it's the fact that the ones most of us are familiar with are already rewritten versions of dark stories). The description of Rory as the Woodcutter was wonderful and the bit where (at least in my mind) everything went black-and-white gave me the creeps... plus the ending.

And that's a dubious reception? I only saw one comment that might be even somewhat lukewarm. It's not really worse than most dark fairy tales, and it's certainly not of dubious quality. Though I suppose it is kind of... well... dark. (-;
