Summary
Throughout the Richard and Camille episodes there was always that special spark, that chemistry.
Did he? Did she? Would they? But it was Series 2 Episode 1 that ended with the mix up over who was the blind date. That, in my mind removed any doubt as to their mutual yearning and desire. So, I wrote a small story that had them finally have a meeting of the minds. It's been five years since that meeting, and upon a rereading, I concluded that I had no better Valentine to offer in these troubled and confusing times than a repost of a sweet meeting of two characters that we all love.

Summary
Everyone would agree that the end of the world is just about the most inconvenient time to discover you're in love with someone. When deadly monsters surface on St. Marie, Richard Poole leads a group of survivors to a part of the island where the creatures don't go. Weary under his burden of leadership, he must struggle to keep everyone safe from the looming threat of these monsters that could rise up from the ground at any time. And while he's at it, it would be lovely if he could also convince his heart to stop aching for the detective sergeant who plagues his every thought.
Completed story, expect regular updates. Rating and tags will be altered as chapters are added.

Summary
“So, I’m going to suggest something and I need you to not panic,” Joan told Sherlock.
She’d put Arthur to bed, their current case was in a security-footage watching lull, and Sherlock had yet to hit the slightly manic and fidgety stage of their late-night digital stakeout. This was as good an opportunity as Joan was going to get to ask Sherlock what she needed to ask him.
“Well that doesn’t instill a tremendous amount of calm in me, Watson.”
“Marry me.”
