[nightshade1120.livejournal.com]

Title: The Fraternity
Author: nightshade1120
Pairing: Peter Guillam/Sherlock Holmes
Rating: R
Warning: (abuse of minors; graphic depictions of violence; rape; sex between consenting adults; lots of swearing; acrophilia, sort of; sadism, torture and utter mindf*ckery. If these things bother you, please don't continue.)
Summary: After the incident at the pool, Mycroft Holmes decides that drastic measures are needed to protect his brother from James Moriarty. He calls on the one man he knows he can trust completely -- Circus spymaster George Smiley. Sherlock (BBC) and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy 2011 crossover WIP. AU: It's 2011, but the Cold War hasn't ended. Smiley's factotum, Fawn, is a woman.
Chapter Summary: The search for Peter Guillam begins in earnest. But an unexpected stroke of luck brings Jim Moriarty within Karla's reach at last.
Notes: This is my first time to post to this community, so I'm not sure if I should be posting the latest, or the first, chapter of a WIP. If I'm doing it wrong, my apologies; I hope the latest chapter can spark your interest enough to head back to the beginning.
A wonderful site called Derelict London provided the information on the general area where Peter Guillam is being held. I don't know if the information on the site is completely up to date as regards that particular area, but certainly the photographs of all the abandoned structures there are sad and haunting.
The chapter title, of course, is borrowed from Oscar Wilde's The Ballad of Reading Gaol.

I should like to point out that this fic needs MOAR readers like we need AIR. It is utterly brilliant and compelling.
