Summary
"Interlacing mosaics of mycelium infuse habitats with with information-sharing membranes. [...] These networks not only survive, but sometimes expand to thousands of acres in size, achieving the greatest mass of any individual organism on the planet. [...] Networking of neurons creates pathways for distributing information in the human brain. Mycelial nets share this same architecture." -- Paul Stamets, Mycelium Running
Sherlock Holmes keeps a book in his head cataloguing all of the dead things he has ever seen; insects curled in poison jars, broken-winged birds and hedgehogs with fly-hollowed eyes. Mycroft keeps books in his head, too, but Sherlock knows that they are filled with different things.

C'est plus compliqué que cela en a l'air.Ecrit pour un prompt du kink meme, qui demandait, basiquement... les Amis en train de faire des explosifs, certains qui y sont meilleurs que d'autres, et le Musain en feu pendant trois mois. Sauf qu'ils vont plutôt le faire à Corinthe, c'est moins fréquenté.

Summary
There are things that designations accept; regardless of their personal feelings, they don't try to change them. Things like the fact that you procreate once you've found a mate, you don't let a red-zone Canidae bond bite you, and when a mate dies, you mourn and move on with life without them. The general public accepts these facts, generally without question.
And then there's the Avengers.....

Ever so slightly longer but not quite as thick: Toward a quantitative literary sexology of Harry Potter fanfiction by blythely, Circe_Tigana
Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, Science - Fandom
21 May 2013
Tags
Summary
Discussion regarding fanfiction tropes produced the observation that in one subset of Harry Potter fanfiction, "Harry/Draco slash" [HDS], Harry has a short, thick dick, while Draco's penis is long and thin. We tested the hypothesis that there was a consistent difference in how these two characters' genitalia were described. Additionally, we tested the hypothesis that slash fiction authors in this subset of fandom did not place equal emphasis on the description of testicles as compared with penii. We surveyed 100 HDS stories in online fanfiction archives and collected data on sexual description and content. Here we present the first quantitative test of fanon stereotypes and show that these explicitly sexual stories contain low levels of visual/sensory genital descriptions. Qualitative comparisons demonstrate trends in support of both hypotheses, although sample sizes prevent statistical significance. We use these findings to discuss how fanon may develop despite the incorrect assumption of perceived ubiquity.

Summary
James and Q have been mated for over a year, they've stopped trying to avoid pregnancy, and now the Quartermaster finds himself expecting...
James is overprotective, Q is in over his head, and both are just a little bit over the moon.
Of course, they don't train SIS agents in pregnant omega care, or child care for that matter... Or meeting your mate's more than slightly unhinged family.
Neither do they train Quartermaster's in juggling pregnancy symptoms with work, protective lovers, and growing your own life form. -

Summary
Sir Harold Watson requires his younger brother John to marry for money. The wealthy husband-to-be? None other than Sherlock Holmes. Before the wedding can occur, Sherlock gets swept up in an investigation of random found body parts and strange letters addressed to him via Bow Street.
As John tags along on the investigation, getting to know his new husband, he finds himself in a London full of mad natural philosophers, rejected suitors, one overbearing brother-in-law, and more terrifying experiments than he could ever imagine.
Definite slash, though a slow build. Taking Sherlock back in time instead of forward.
