    Summary

    Grace tries copying the tones.

    Rocky hums. “Close. Skip first note.”

    “Why? You always include that.”

    “This means… of Rocky, possessive. Of the speaker.”

    “My.”

    “Correct. But only for names.”

    “So you’re calling me…?”

    Rocky repeats the word: “My Grace. Yes.”

    Summary

    Memorable Occasions: an excerpt from Dr. Watson's private (and unpublished) memoirs of his life with Sherlock Holmes. Or: Sherlock does not sleep for three days straight, collapses, stubbornly refuses to rest, and Watson needs to literally cuddle him to sleep. They each have nerves of steel in their own way.

    Summary

    "So," Watson finally said, the casualness in his tone betrayed by the flickering glances he kept casting Sherlock’s way. "Are we going to talk about what happened today?"

    How kind of Watson, to phrase it as a question. "No."

    Watson sighed, but evidently refused to give up. "You had your hands around his neck, Sherlock. You were strangling him." He frowned, leaning down. As if by lessening the distance he could read Sherlock better, could peer into his soul and find whatever it was he was looking for. "Have you ever even hurt a person before?"

    "Have you?" Sherlock shot back, already knowing.

    In the aftermath of the Dancing Men case, Sherlock quietly, unobtrusively breaks down.

    Summary

    Sometimes, John felt as though he was only a vague sketch of a person.

    He didn’t know how else to explain it, and when he’d muttered as much to his mum one evening, pain from his leg and exhaustion from his soul letting his inner thoughts out, she’d looked at him in absolute confusion, before telling him to “get some sleep, love, I’m sure it’ll all be better in the morning.”

    It wasn’t, but he didn’t bring it up to her again.

    --
    Inspired by an absolutely stunning @abstractfrog on tumblr, following John's progression and his state of completion over the years. Can be read as platonic or romantic, though I'd lean more towards the latter as a relationship/QPR.

    Summary

    Sherlock had never understood the saying of someone “wearing their heart on their sleeve” until he’d met Doctor John Hamish Watson and the constant, sticky stain of affection that he wore day in, day out. John’s heart oozes with his feelings for the world around him and the people who live in it.

     

    It had been unsettling when they’d first met, just how messy John had been with it all – mess wasn’t something that Sherlock had been accustomed to.

     

    Now, he couldn’t picture a life without it.

    "I swear, you get to my age and stairs will become your worst enemy.”

    “Ahh, see you should never trust stairs – they’re always up to something!” John joked.

    Sherlock only frowned. “Well, of course – that’s how stairs work.”

    In which Sherlock only gets the joke once they've both been put in mortal peril.

    “You’re tied to a chair; how can you possibly be ‘comfy’?”

    John shrugged as much as he was able, allowing his eyes to slip closed again. “’Cause you’re here.”

    Summary

    “Perhaps I enjoyed briefer kisses? I really don’t know.”

     

    “OK, so maybe, maybe not.”

     

    They sat in silence a while longer, before John had an idea. “I’m gonna start this off by saying you can shoot the thought down with no hard feelings whatsoever, Sherls, but… if you’re unsure, and you want to find out, we could run an… experiment?”

     

    “Experiment?” Sherlock repeated, shuffling a little to glance back at John, “What kind of experiment?”

     

    “Well,” he replied, “we could test out different types of kiss, and you can see how they make you feel. If you enjoy it, we can do it again, if you don’t, we add it to the ‘never’ pile.”

     

    --
    Sherlock and John are in a QPR, but whilst everything is perfect as-is, Sherlock's unsure about whether or not he enjoys any types of kissing. John suggests an experiment to figure it out, with very positive results.

    A.K.A 5 times John kissed Sherlock, and 1 Sherlock kissed John

    Summary

    It’s then that Sherlock resolves to tell no one his birthday, to keep it tucked close to his chest and secret and his. There’s no way to be disappointed if he never gives anyone the opportunity to disappoint him. He still is, a little bit, in the last few minutes before the midnight that turns the sixth to the seventh, but he’s gotten very good at ignoring it.


    Sherlock celebrates his first real birthday.

    It’s surrendering.

    It’s a man recognizing he’s lost something he will never find again, and breaking down because of it.

    It’s grief. It’s horrible, terrible, life-altering clarity.

    Summary

    At first, the wonder of his resurrection had blazed so bright that I saw nothing else. Joy, joy impossible had been returned to me; death itself had been undone. But as the miracle faded into everyday light I began to see that time had not been likewise reversed; time had done its implacable work. He was not the same as he had been.

    "I get up at all sorts of ungodly hours."

    Holmes never cared for friends.

    But even though that statement had sounded innocent enough, Holmes had not expected it to put such a strain upon a friendship he'd suddenly started to value so highly.

    Summary

    Caseless and restless, John and Sherlock attempt to occupy their time with other things. Like, for example, making waffles from scratch. But, when Sherlock gets a mysterious package in the mail, the dull moments of peace are threatened by what feels like an impending doom. A feeling which John just can't seem to shake. What could go wrong??

    This fic is my attempt at adapting one of my favorite cases from the original stories. I do realize it is very possible Sherlock & Co will adapt this case eventually, so this is simply my own take on it.

    Also, a very special hello and welcome to the Sherlock & Co discord gang! Thanks for reading! <3
