    Summary

    29/5/12 Due to a mixture of interface fragility and my error, this fic got deleted after it had attracted almost 14k hits. I'm pretty upset about it. I will be reposting the fic over the next few days, like a WIP. If you have previously kudosed/commented and can take the time to do so again now, I would appreciate it a lot. New readers welcome too, of course.

    Summary: I like fennishjournal's mini-review better than I like my own original summary, so here it is: 'John and Sherlock are broken but their jagged edges fit together in a way that is almost painfully right. This is intense and powerful and desperate. There is a scene where John tops the fuck out of Sherlock and, dear God, is it ever intense.'

    There's BDSM in the mix, so that needs to go in the headers, but it's not the main focus of the fic. It's a relationship study, in which sex is a significant element but far from being the sole theme. It's about needing something right down to the bottom of your soul, and perhaps eventually getting it.

    Summary

    For a prompt on the kink meme: Everyone has a semi-transparent ghostly animal trotting at their feet, reacting with the same emotions as their person. John's always wondered if he's the only one who can see them. Bonus points:
    Sherlock's spirit animal takes to following John around, even when Sherlock's not there. This usually only happens with married couples. And vice versa.

    Cleaned up and re-posted.

    Summary

    “It doesn’t bother you at all, does it. What he is,” Lestrade remarks one day at a crime scene.

    “Mutants are over-represented in the military,” says John. “It’s about the only halfway decent job they can get, even if they’re never allowed to move up the ranks.”

    He has to push down a stab of irritation and remind himself that getting angry at every person who sees Sherlock as something less than human would be a waste of time.

    Summary

    John Watson grew up dreaming of life as a foreign correspondent. In 2001, he began his third year at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism. But that was before. Before a plane crashed, his best friend died, and the world became a different place.

    Ten years later he’s Captain John Watson: an invalided soldier with a psychosomatic limp, a wounded shoulder, and a chance to write again. His first big assignment brings him face to face with Sebastian Moran, a war criminal awaiting trial in a secret government facility. There's more at stake than John's career--Moran's in the employ of the Recruiter, an elusive crime lord sometimes known as 'Moriarty.'

    John's just there for the profile, but his photographer, Sherlock Holmes, has other ideas.

    Summary

    Yes, he'd lusted after his best friend. Yes, it had been going on for quite a few weeks now, ever since they'd fallen asleep in the dorm lounge and woken up in a tangle of limbs, and John's heart and stomach had done funny little flips. It was mildly frightening, because to his mother, his father, and everybody that knew him, John was straight.

    “I may not know what a caregiver does, or what it means to be one,” John said quietly. “But I am one now – not by choice – and I‘m sorry for what I’ve done. I’m involved now. And I’ll take care of you. You’re my priority."
