Why This Must Be Read: This is one of the very best road trip fics I’ve read. Set in the 1920s, it’s a great look at a developing friendship (and more) between Daniel and Jack. More importantly, the road trip provides an excellent backdrop for Daniel’s personal growth both as a young man discovering the world outside academia for the first time, and as he struggles to accept himself and his feelings in view of the prevailing attitudes of the day.

Sid did a phenomenal amount of research on 1920s America and it shows through every piece of the story. She weaves it all in so naturally, through dialogue and thought, that it almost seems like Jack and Daniel have always existed there!

This story is fun and funny and poignant and angsty and will make you think. Bonus: it will definitely leave you with a smile on your face.

Why This Must Be Read: Jon Neilson, AKA clone!Jack, is on a road trip to London... and meets up with a young Sherlock Holmes in his pre-John Watson days, suffering from an overdose. Throw in the beginnings of the Homeless Network, Mycroft, and some surprising reflections on coping with being outside the norm, and you have a fascinating, thoughtful crossover that is amazingly plausible.

There is never enough fic about clone!Jack. It's a pleasure to read this one!

Why This Must Be Read: If you're following along, this is the fic I was trying to locate for yesterday's post.  I don't know what to say, except that I really love everything about this fic.  From the boring blandness of the formal function, Knight-in-shining-armour Cam, protective Cam, jealous Cam, take-charge Cam, riled-up John, dominant John, smiling John and the humour-laced hotness, followed by tenderness and timid hope; all add up to a fantastic fic that will keep you on the edge, right to the very end.  A must read for every fan of John/Cam, and for every reader who's ever wondered if they'd like this pairing.

( Just a tease.... )
