Summary
Sherlock takes a remarkably early retirement at 47, and convinces John that a change of pace would do them both good. They buy an old cottage on the South Downs, and exchange their nonstop life in Baker Street for quiet contemplation, bee studies, and book writing.
They might go completely insane, but sometimes it takes stepping outside of the life you're living to find the life you want.
Sherlock takes one last look out to the horizon, mouth downturned and brow furrowed, before seeming to shake himself and catching up to John with a few long-legged strides. John turns back toward the path cut into the cliffs, climbing steadily toward the rolling downs already green and lush in the weak April warmth.
They reach the top and Sherlock strikes toward the west, back to where their hired Land Rover sits a mile away in a public carpark. John falls into step beside him and takes a deep breath.
“I expected a case,” he starts. “A bit chilly for a walk, really, so. D’you mind telling me what we’re doing out here?”
Sherlock doesn’t even pause, simply tucks his head down against the wind and continues walking.“I’m retiring,” he says simply.

Summary
John and Sherlock meet the first time during the summer of 1992 in Bournemouth - John is a lifeguard, earning money during his gap year before he goes to medical school. Sherlock has been dragged along on a final family holiday before he goes to Cambridge. They meet, and its the most interesting thing that's happened to either of them the entire summer.
He’s a bit of an oddity, this beautiful boy with his bucketful of jellyfish, but John likes him immensely. Proud and defiant and brilliant. John grins at him and gently swirls a stick through the bucket of jellies, watching them pulse and float through the water.
“You’re not wrong. You’re amazing, in fact. I’m John Watson. Would you like to go, maybe get something to eat?”
The boy grins, a bright, lopsided smile that makes John’s heart skip a beat. “The name’s Sherlock Holmes. And I’d love to.”

Summary
Inspired by some beautifully scorching fanart by DetectiveLyd, which you can find here.
“That’s my favorite position, you know,” Sherlock says as he strolls out of the bathroom, hair damp, dark ringlets curling over his forehead.
“Hmmm?” is all John manages, because Sherlock is wet and distractingly naked, and this thing between them is still so new and ever-so-slightly timid he’s unsure what more he could, or should, say.

Summary
A collection of 221b ficlets, drabbles, and other scribblings too small to have their own posting. They range from completely gen to completely filthy, from serious and heavy to light and smutty and funny. I'll update tags as I add new ficlets, but hopefully it won't get too out of hand.

Summary
John and Sherlock are captured, tortured, and imprisoned - and eventually, they realize, there's only one way out.
John looks at him with a confident smirk. They’ll get away because they always do, and Sherlock’s not yet found a situation he couldn’t think or charm or lie his way out of.
And even an hour later when their captors come back and it starts all over again, when John looks at him with a sparkle of mirth from the eye not swollen and blackened and covered in blood, he assumes he’ll manage it this time too.
