At The Edge of Our Hope — stories inspired by "Drift Compatible" by 7PercentSolution, Anyawen, elldotsee, J_Baillier
Fandom Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms
03 Mar 2025
Summary
J. Baillier's "Drift Compatible" takes place in the 2040s, in a world changed and governed by a devastating threat. Based on Guillermo del Toro and Travis Beecham's Pacific Rim universe but requiring no knowledge of it whatsoever, it is the story of Rangers Holmes and Watson, serving in the Pan-Pacific Defence Corps, humanity's best and last line of defence. A highly sophisticated neural interface allows them to Drift, which means syncing their memories and thoughts to control a Jaeger—which are the most formidable war machines ever built. Drifting also creates a connection between the two men which, in its intensity, is initially difficult for both to accept. These short stories were inspired by "Drift Compatible", and feature the works of several authors.
The title of this series comes from a speech in the first Pacific Rim film, one made by Marshal Stacker Pentecost: "Today... At the edge of our hope, at the end of our time, we have chosen not only to believe in ourselves, but in each other. Today there is not a man nor woman in here that shall stand alone. Not today. Today, we face the monsters that are at our door and bring the fight to them. Today…We are cancelling the apocalypse."

Summary
John once said that if Sherlock ever felt the need to use drugs, he could call him. Sherlock never imagined he’d actually do it—until Victor Trevor’s years-too-late funeral leaves him reeling. For the first time, Sherlock reaches out, and John is there to help him navigate the memories, cravings, and emotions he can no longer ignore. In the aftermath, Sherlock begins to realize that asking for help might be the first step toward something he never thought possible: A future built on connection, trust, and love.
Post Season 4. Only the barest fleeting mention of Rosie.

Summary
“The limp is psychosomatic,” Sherlock agreed, in an uncharacteristically soft tone. “But that doesn’t mean that it’s ‘fake.’”
John pressed his lips together in a thin line. “I don’t see the difference.”
OR - when a chance startling encounter on the street brings back John's psychosomatic limp, it brings complicated feelings with it.

Sherlock doesn't know how to swim. So John comes up with a plan. A perfect plan. A plan for the ages. All he needs is a willing Sherlock, a pool, new swim trunks, a time machine, and a… John doesn’t have a plan. He doesn’t even know where to start actually. Without more information from Sherlock, John can’t determine what things will and won’t cause issues for him. He will have to tell Sherlock he wants to teach him to swim and go from there.
And accidentally fall more deeply in love as a result.
