amplificathonRealized I never cross-posted to amplificathon, so here are the first two parts of Boston Marriage.
I'm experimenting with posting an audiofic WIP. I've been working onpendrecarc's Boston Marriage, a Sherlock fic that is better than the show by a long shot, since last October, and I've finished The Element of Surmise. The Cardinale is recorded but not edited, and I haven't started recording The Long Game yet.

Author:pendrecarc
Reader:via_ostiense
Fandom: Sherlock BBC
Pairing: Sherlock Holmes/expensive violins, Joanna Watson/OC
Rating: Mature
Warning: Armchair psychology; discussion of suicide in the context of a murder investigation; murder investigations, abductions, violence, and a great deal of associated unpleasantness

Summary: In which Jo Watson tries to take this therapy business into her own hands, London produces enough crimes of interest to satisfy even Sherlock Holmes, and the Bechdel test doesn't know what hit it. Game on.
The next installment of my audioWIP (Part 1). The third and final section will be a long time coming, because it is much longer than the first two sections, and uninterrupted recording time is going to be scarce on the ground for the next four weeks.

Although I don't know why I'm bothering with spoiler cuts, since the stories are over a century old. Anyway, The Cardinale is an adaptation of ACD's The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet, and I like it a lot. Korean violin virtuoso! 산조 (sanjo)! The cut-throat, glittering world of symphonies and artistic rivalries! pendrecarc put thought into the details of the heist such that it's more complicated than in ACD's, and she also fleshed out the relationships between the principal characters. The Beryl Coronet is mostly a whodunit for which I don't care about the characters, the coronet, or anything but the solution; The Cardinale is a wonderfully detailed short story in which I care about the missing object (the legend of the Stradivarius, indeed!), the broken relationships between 서문 and his son and his goddaughter, and Jo's growing acquaintance with Sherlock's squishy emotional bits. At the conclusion of The Cardinale, there is closure to the emotional arcs (Paul and Alexander, Jo and Scott Morstan, Jo and Sherlock, Sherlock and the Pollastri) as well as the criminal plot arc, and the overarching story of Boston Marriage is moved on by The Cardinale.
Other things I liked: Sherlock's audacity (cum assholery) in bogarting the Cardinale and booting out the concertmaster to play the Schubert onstage with the LSO. What kind of strings did she have to pull to convince the conductor and the rest of the LSO to go along with that, I wonder. Not to mention the virtuosity of learning a piece in a day (I assume that's what she's doing on her laptop when Jo comes home and changes into the evening gown, reviewing the score). I also like that pendrecarc, unlike the writers of the most recent WC episode, knows that the "first violinist" in an orchestra is the concertmaster.
