sherlock - millennia

Title: Millennia
Fandom: Sherlock
Rating: R
Word Count: 2,195
Characters/Pairing: John/Sherlock
Summary: “How do you keep finding me?” John asks. / Sherlock bends his head so that his lips are close to John’s. He has John’s wrists pinned up over his head and his whispered breath seeps into John’s open mouth. “How do you keep forgetting?”
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: This is not the fic I've been wanting to write for months. This is the fic that slapped me across the face after I was too lazy to change the channel from Hancock. Several borrowed elements are pretty obvious here. This isn't quite my normal writing style? It also hasn't undergone any external editing. I really feel like I ought to apologize for how ~artsy~ it is?? SORRY GUYS.

sherlock - walk through ghosts

Title: walk through ghosts
Fandom: Sherlock
Rating: R
Word Count: 6,126
Characters/Pairing: John/Sherlock
Summary: The thing is: Sherlock thought that the two of them would have forever to figure it out.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: This fic is written as a birthday present for [personal profile] awesome, who is one of the most fantastic people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. ♥ And when I was like, "what are the tropes you enjoy?" the answer involved angst and pining and really just all of the angst in the world, which made me realize that we were OBVIOUSLY MEANT TO BE because that's all I'm really capable of writing. And as always, I am forever grateful to [profile] anonbegone for being the best beta/britpick to ever exist. ♥

Based on this fic: Fantastic cover by Creole | Stunning graphic by rollsofrice

sherlock - the slide show we know

Title: the slide show we know
Fandom: Sherlock
Rating: R
Word Count: 2,106
Characters/Pairing: Sherlock & Harry, John/Sherlock
Summary: Sherlock could probably admit that he was actually rather fond of Harry. Takes place before/during/after the events of hurry home in us against verse.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: I wanted to write something to make sure that I could still string sentences together before I attempted to fix other people's fic / start on projects that actually matter. So obviously that entailed more us against verse because this verse is literally my kryptonite. Unedited.

It's nearly three in the morning when Sherlock jerks awake from where he's pillowed his head on his arms. )

sherlock - buy me an ounce and i'll sell you a pound

Title: buy me an ounce and i'll sell you a pound
Fandom: Sherlock
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 2,186
Characters/Pairing: John/Sherlock
Summary: There's a reason why Sherlock and John are no longer welcome at any SIS functions.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: Follows a few months from the epilogue of hurry home which is in the us against universe. This is definitely not my usual style because it's REALLY FLUFFY?? Also I'm pretty sure I'm too incompetent to even breathe in this fandom without Julia continuously encouraging me to inflict myself on everyone's eyeballs so blame and/or thank her for this fic. HAPPY HOLIDAYS GUYS. ♥

John drops an elaborate looking piece of paper onto Sherlock’s chest as he passes by Sherlock’s chair on the way to the kitchen. )

sherlock - hurry home

Title: hurry home
Fandom: Sherlock
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 25,607
Characters/Pairing: John/Sherlock
Summary: When John is recruited into the MI6 to track down a security leak, he didn’t expect it to get this out of hand. At least he has Sherlock Holmes. Skyfall fusion. Sequel to us against.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: Normally I like writing fics in the same verse that can be read alone, but in this case, it would probably be a good idea to read us against first to understand this fic. The Sherlock and John in this fic are around 24-25 years old. This fic was partially inspired by and borrows shamelessly from Skyfall. I feel like I should apologize for the copious amounts of sex but I'm probably not going to. I'm forever grateful to Helen for her suggestions and Britpicking advice which made this fic a million times better. This fic would literally not exist if not for Julia who patiently endured my endless whining and singlehandedly cheerleaded my lazy muse on to the end. <333

Sherlock slams the doors of Mycroft's office open. )

sherlock - us against

Title: us against
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.

sherlock - parallel

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. )

sherlock - fireflight

Title: Fireflight
Fandom: Sherlock
Rating: R
Word Count: 2,521
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. )

sherlock - equilibrium [dvd commentary version]

Title: Equilibrium (DVD Commentary Version)
Fandom: Sherlock
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.

Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
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.

sherlock - burn down

Title: Burn Down
Fandom: Sherlock
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 14,064
Characters/Pairing: John/Sherlock
Summary: When love isn't enough.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: This was intended to be in the same universe as Reignite but can also be read as a standalone.
This fic would not have been possible without Julia who tossed me into writing mode by sharing her fantastic taste in music, then patiently listened to me whine about it for ages. Thank you to the always lovely Fanni who assured me that this wasn't a complete unintelligible mess. And as always, I'm forever grateful to Lulu for kicking out my Americanisms and touching up my writing. ♥ You guys are fantastic.

“John,” the voice seeps through the static but John knows exactly who it belongs to. )

sherlock - reignite

Title: Reignite
Fandom: Sherlock
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 9,478
Characters/Pairing: John/Sherlock
Summary: When Mary dies, John finds himself in financial trouble without a home for himself and his young son. There's not much choice except to turn to his ex, Sherlock Holmes.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: I was intending this fic to be a quick 2k words...and you know how that goes. A hundred million thanks to the amazing Lulu for being the best and quickest britpicker ever. She fixed up this fic and made it infinitely better. ♥ ♥ Any remaining mistakes are entirely my own fault.
Kinkmeme prompt: John and Mary have a son, Hamish, then Mary gets ill and dies. John, who wasn't previously on speaking terms with Sherlock, moves back to Baker Street with Hamish in tow because he can't afford anywhere else on his own. Sherlock is surprisingly wonderful with the kid, and supportive of John (in his own, asshole-ish way). Reconciliation, and formation of a makeshift family unit once more in 221B, please?
Burn Down is intended to be set in the same universe and to provide background on why John and Sherlock fell out of touch, but the two can be read separately.
