alicambsTwo long fic that aren't going to be everyone's cup of tea as they are both non con, au and John suffers greatly in both of them. However both are very clever in entirely different ways.
Training Dr. John Watson by angelblack3 In this universe, Jim got a hold of Sherlock way before he ever met the ones that were meant to save him. Now, they're happy business partners. Though, according to Jim, Sherlock isn't nearly as happy as he could be. He should find someone like Jim found his dear pet Sebby. Sherlock is skeptical, until he finds an army doctor with a psychosomatic limp in a twisted sense of fate. Evil, evil Sherlock, I don't think I can emphasise how evil yet still very recognisable with a wonderfully in character John. A highly fascinating (kind of in watching an accident about to happen type of way) description of John dealing with becoming the object of lust and desire for a total psychopath. The author changes pov quickly and often is some chapters, something that usually irritates me but it works here. There's the occasional clumsy phrasing and tenses can switch at random but the story is so well thought through that it doesn't matter because the author has done her homework (she jokes the FBI might be after her if they read her search history) and forgoes cliches and slavish love to bring us something different.
Collared by Velvet Mace In a world where the British Empire is still strong and slavery is her economic backbone, John has become a terrorist for the abolitionist movement. He is caught by Mycroft, enslaved, and given to Sherlock for training. The goal: To test a new kind of slave collar with the power to break even the strongest willed fighter. One that will make even John learn to love being a slave. Velvet Mace takes whumping John to new heights here. The story twist and turns like a snake and John's sheer helplessness, anger and frustration is painful to read. The final chapter is so very clever and brings the story to an excellent, bittersweet conclusion that does not attempt to sugar coat the fact that John has never had a choice and has been skillfully manipulated by both Mycroft and Sherlock.
