Fourteen Musings about Sherlock Holmes and John Watson by cwb for CaitlinFairchild (TristenVictoria), ceywoozle
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV)
16 Jun 2014
Tags
Summary
This is a short collection of my imaginations of John and Sherlock as a couple. The timing is loosely post-Mary (because in my village, there is no more Mary), and they're in it for the long haul, so make of that what you will.

Summary
On paper, a bacon sarnie and a cup of good coffee isn’t exactly the kind of thanks one should receive for rescuing someone’s family member from an overdose.
Lestrade thinks that it’s possibly the best one he’s ever received.

Summary
Six months after Sherlock jumped, he learns that John is dedicating songs to him on a requests-only radio programme. Is John just working through grief? Or is he—communicating?
Fixes the hell out of S3 by pre-empting it altogether. Remember, as TAB told us, John is Pretty Damn Smart.- Language:

Summary
John had stopped mistaking strangers for Sherlock in the second year following his death. In fact, he was ready to move on, with Mary. But then he glimpses someone at a pivotal moment, and it changes his life once more.
What if the circumstances of Sherlock's return had been less volatile for John? What if John had realized that marrying Mary would be a mistake, the easy path rather than the right one? This is a story of altered circumstances, timing, and a very helpful Mycroft.

Sherlock's a Brilliant Student (Which Is No Surprise) by wendymarlowe

Summary
John does some observation of his own and discovers Sherlock's praise kink. This dovetails nicely with John being the more knowledgeable one, for once.
(Part of my "John and Sherlock's Kinky First Times" series of shorts, all revolving around the same basic theme of "John and Sherlock get sexy for the first time and also discover some kinky stuff about each other.")

"I'm not actually gay."
Peter shrugged. "It's all just skin and orgasms, in the end."
"I... suppose so. But - we're not like that. We're friends; we don't have sex."
"You're about to watch him have sex," Peter pointed out.Bookmarked by Sendmesigns

John’s marriage is over and he is finally back home (i.e. at Baker Street, where he belongs).
Sherlock is awfully insecure and John is awfully hesitant, and they're both awkward idiots, of course, but they figure it out. Many First Times happen.- Language:

Summary
They’re sure of each other, now. They’re settled. And as far as Sherlock is concerned, settled isn’t the least bit boring or stifling or constraining.
Settled is marvellous. Settled is freeing.
Settled means sometimes you make romantic love by candlelight, murmuring hushed words of endless devotion solely because you want to, because the moment feels right and good.
And sometimes, settled means you fuck on the sofa on a Saturday afternoon, straightforward and uncomplicated, no deep desperate romance necessary, just because fucking is fun.

Summary
What Sherlock thinks is, On the day I die, be it in a dirty alley at forty or in my bed at eighty, the last thing I will remember is tonight, the way you looked at at me on the snowy pavement, cheeks pink with the cold, breath puffing in frosty white clouds, your heart in your eyes and snowflakes in your hair. I will remember that single perfect moment in my life, that moment I knew I had everything I ever wanted, and whatever happens next, I will die content.
What he says is simply, "Marry me."

“Oh come, John. Could be fun,” Mycroft taunts, accompanied by an eyebrow arch he’s gotten far too good at. “Besides, it’s not as if it’s your first time pretending to be a couple.”
Five months after John's world has fallen apart, Mycroft sends the consulting detective and his doctor on a case that neither is prepared for.

Summary
Right. Of course. Everyone assumed they were a couple and no one would question it. John put his elbows up on the table so he could rest his head in his hands. "You want to pretend to be a couple so we can chaperone a trip to Disney World with Rosie's class and you won't have to share a room with a stranger?"
"Exactly." Sherlock beamed at him. "Don't worry about the cost. The Birmingham case last month paid more than enough to cover expenses for all three of us."

Summary
There is an oft-cited experiment discussed in classrooms and cocktail parties alike, a convenient analogy when one endeavors to make a point about not noticing the obvious until it is inevitable. Simply, if you place a frog on a hot plate, it will jump off immediately, but if you put that frog on a cool plate and turn up the heat slowly, slowly, it will simply burn.
Or: How these two idiots melt together, finally.

"If Sherlock's brain is a hard drive, then these attacks are an electro-magnetic pulse." Sherlock Holmes does not do anything by half, not even a migraine. It falls to John to witness one of the greatest minds he has ever known tear itself apart, and he must do his best to help Sherlock pick up the pieces.

Summary
Green.
The word green was used to convey a great many things. Illness. Envy. Inexperience.
Standing there amidst Janine's chattering bridesmaids, watching Sherlock furrow his brow and study fabric swatches, watching him smile and simper and flirt, John thought it a remarkably apt colour choice. Because he felt quite sick to his stomach, he feared the source of said sickness might very well be jealousy, and he had absolutely no idea at all what to do about it.
Or: Sherlock needs to fake a relationship for a case. He doesn't ask John.

“Sorry, Daddy. I’ve been a bad girl.” Villanelle smirked, leaning leisurely back against the chair in the confession booth, ankle resting over her knee.
“For the first and last time, Villanelle,” Eve hissed through gritted teeth, “it’s ‘forgive me, Father, for I have sinned’.”
OR
The one where Eve is a priest, and Villanelle is temptation, embodied.
