SED 25 - I saw this rec and...

I've seen this rec by [livejournal.com profile] swissmarg on tumblr today on this wonderful little Sherlock/Matrix fusion fic. And, as I just asked myself what to write about today, you can deal with me swooning over John as Neo and Sherlock as Trinity now. ;p

Title: In the Region of Sight
Author: thatworldinvertedthatworldinverted
Pairing(s) John/Sherlock, Mycroft/Greg
Rating: NR-17
Word Count: 13,389
Content/Warnings: Crossover, Alternate Universe - Fusion, Dystopia, Blow Jobs

Summary:
You have shown me a strange sight, and they are strange prisoners.

In which John has his world turned upside down, right side up, and upside down again, Sherlock wears a lot of vinyl, and they just might save humanity.

Why I loved it: This version of Matrix is told from John's (aka Neo's) pov. It's set in London (of course) and John is such a great The One here, because he refuses to even try to be special in any way. I always thought that's the way to become just that for a hereo/heroine. I loved how unruffled he was by all the events, well, except by meeting Sherlock.

Of course Sherlock would get to John. Just think about Sherlock wearing a lot of skin tight vinyl (and leather). He's Tritinty and has to. (I wish someone would draw this. LOL) Well, his name is not Trinity and not Sherlock either. Nope, won't tell. Go and see for yourself! Oh, Mycroft and Greg have some great names too, and Agent Smith was as creepy as always.
There were more lovely ideas spread over those few words (~13k is not that much for a fusion). And I really, really hope the author will finish her sequel someday (which apparently is still lying unfinished in a drawer/folder). It was a wonderful story though and I loved how good all the characters and details of Sherlock matched with the Matrix universe.
