A fic rec!

First off, sorry for two posts in one night. I knew if I posted the other one so early that I'd end up finding something else interesting I wanted to share.

Second, how long has it been since I recced a fic? It's been ages since I even read one! (My poor attention span, movies and fics are just too much for you these days.) I'm not even in this fandom, I never even saw the movie (movies?). That must be the sign of a good fic -- it's a great read even if you don't know the source material.

Gone Is My Past by [livejournal.com profile] cyerus (Sherlock Holmes fandom). The prompt the story was based on is "John is an Army bomb detection dog who has been turned into a human."

It's so sad and heartbreaking and believable (odd thing to say about a story where a dog turns into a person). The love in it was just so... wonderful. (Love-love, not slashy love. It does have a PG-13 rating, though I'm not sure why.)

I'm sitting here grinning while thinking about it. I love the ending, I endlessly love the characters. I now want to see the movie, just to see more of them. And, once I post this, I shall be poking through the author's LJ looking for more to read. :D

Edit: Wow. Other fics by this person?  Just as good!
