I know I've rec'd this before, but I don't care.

How the mouth changes its shape by breathedout

"1955. Under the placid veneer of suburban playparks and middle-class conformity churns a hidden London: femmes and butches dancing close in basement bars; clandestine love between women. To Sherlock Holmes, struggling private detective and mistress of disguise, it’s a realm she renounced years before. To Johnnie Watson, daredevil ambulance driver turned auto mechanic, it’s become a little too familiar. But when someone is murdered in the washroom of the city’s most notorious lesbian club, the investigation will lead both women to reconsider their assumptions about themselves, each other, and the world in which they live."

It's incredibly well-written; the characterization is pitch-perfect (babydyke!Sherlock breaks my heart, and butch lesbian!John is sexy and endearing); the amount of historical research and detail is fascinating.

The author is on chapter 6 of 22, and posts one chapter a week.
