Fandom: Sherlock
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 4,934
Characters/Pairing: John/Sherlock
Summary: He thinks maybe he should change his name because this is a life he cannot have any more. Teenage!AU
Warnings: child abuse/neglect, mention of suicidal thoughts
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: Written with this prompt in mind. I. This fic. I'm not sure where it came from. But credit where credit is due: inspired by elements in Curse of the Starving Class which a friend and I saw on a whim. And I seriously don't know where I would be without [profile] anonbegone who betaed/britpicked this fic and is eternally patient with my neuroticism. ♥ Any remaining mistakes are entirely my own fault.

Five thirty in the morning and John’s woken up by the sound of glass breaking and the slam of the back door. )

Title: Parallel
Fandom: Sherlock
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1,467
Characters/Pairing: John/Sherlock
Summary: There is a world where John is dead. There is a world where Mycroft is dead. Neither of those are real.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: In response to this prompt: "Sherlock, John, and Mycroft are in an accident. Sherlock has two realities: one in which John lives, one in which his brother survives." I was surprised by how immediately I needed to write this. Because it's so short, it hasn't undergone any external editing. Now with a lovely podfic by dreamergirl090!

Based on this fic: Beautifully minimalistic cover by Trudy

Sherlock only remembers the glare of white through the passenger window. )

Characters/Pairing: John/Sherlock
Summary: The Holmeses are the last of the dragons. Sherlock finds himself collecting John Watson.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: Based off of this prompt from the kinkmeme. Saw it, thought it could be a brief fun exercise in magical realism to encourage myself to write again--AND THEN. AT 1AM, IN THREE HOURS, I VOMITED THIS FIC. WHAT DID I JUST WRITE? And as always, my eternal gratitude to the utterly fantastic [profile] anonbegone for assuring me that this wasn't too ridiculous to be posted. IDK WHERE I WOULD BE IN THIS FANDOM WITHOUT HER. ♥ ♥

The last of the dragons, Mycroft repeated to him. As if emphasizing it would somehow suddenly cause Sherlock to care. )

Rating: R
Word Count: originally 12,200 / 15,924 with commentary
Characters/Pairing: John/Sherlock
Summary: At Baskerville, John is infected by a virus that turns him into a genius. But when the infection progresses into neurodegeneration, it's a race against time to save himself. Flowers for Algernon fusion.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: So I've never done one of these DVD commentary things so uh, definitely preemptively apologizing if I'm not following a specific format or etiquette or whatever. All the comments that I'm going to make about the fic will be in this maroon color. And I am...not British so will be using my American spelling throughout. And it's also been like, five full months since I wrote this fic? So let's see how much I even remember about any of this any more lmao. ANYWAYS, this is obviously a wholly self-indulgent exercise so, MOVING ON.

Author's Note: So if I were to title this fic truthfully, it would be called "SCIENCE!!" And if I were to summarize this fic truthfully, it would be "In which I proceed to be completely self-indulgent with science! Also, SCIENCE." I would like to point out that I only really have an adequate knowledge of immunology, so not at all an expert in neurology. I am forever indebted to the fantastic [profile] anonbegone for her beta/britpick/putting up with me. ♥ Any remaining mistakes are entirely my own fault.
