Summary
"The problem with living with a Felisian, John realised not long after he moved in, was the overwhelming urge to touch." Pre-slash or Gen, couch-cuddling, unashamed schmoop.

Summary
"His tail was left free rather than curled uncomfortably in the seat, the light was such that he knew his pupils would be oval, instead of human and round, and his sneer pulled his lips back to reveal sharper-than-average canine teeth: he was everything that Mycroft was not."

Summary
"Mycroft did not remember much more, only the thick wave of appalled embarrassment at the understanding of his body’s betrayal. Even then, he had loathed the idea that something so intimately his could be beyond his control: a traitor at any given moment. He had not wanted to upset Mummy, to let her see how much he dreaded the arrival of the baby. It was a white-lie, nothing more, and his body had exposed his small dishonesty.
From that day on, he felt a distinct detachment from the form which he occupied. Arms and legs, lips and chin were all well enough, but his ears? His tail? His eyes?
Revolting."

Summary
"He had no idea what his face was doing – twisted with mortification and horror, probably – but John was examining the picture again, and this time his smile was distinctly soft at its edges, fond as well as amused. 'As baby pictures go, it could be worse,' he said with a grin, chuckling as Sherlock's tail fluffed up in indignation."

Summary
"A pounce, a struggle – an unexpected waltz of bodies as the suspect twisted and rammed his weight into Sherlock's chest...
One wrong step was all it took."

Summary
"At times like this, with his every nerve alight with the rush of pursuit, it was a challenge to cling to his humanity. Saliva flooded Sherlock’s mouth, and he was more aware of his teeth than usual as he acknowledged his body’s desire to bite. Logically, he knew that the creature at his mercy was a human suspect and not something that should be termed as prey, but a small, dark part of him cared little for the distinction."

Summary
"Most lovers would be intent on what lay below the belt – fixated on the obvious. No doubt they had good cause for such fascination, but Sherlock wanted to know every inch of the man who had come to mean so much to him. He wanted to explore each ridge of bone and supple hollow of flesh. A banquet of information stretched before him – a feast so plentiful that he could not decide where to begin."

Summary
John meets up with Greg for a few drinks down the pub to talk shop and Sherlock.
'Can I ask you a question?'
John wrinkled his nose. He knew that tone of voice. As a doctor, he heard it a lot. The tight, nervous tones of someone who was about to pull down their pants and ask you to look at something odd on their backside.Series
