Rating/Warnings: Explicit. WIP - slow to update

Rating/Warnings: M for pervasive drug use, some language, and sexual content (Adlock, not Johnlock)

Some Things Never Change
Summary: All those light years away and the Admiral could still get under his skin. He flipped over to his back again and noted as the time projector flipped numbers across the wall as a reminder. He sat up on the mattress and started to button up his shirt. His fingers stopped moving almost before they started. Why the hell would it even matter anyway? No one in their right mind would ever consent to being his partner, and that included the Burskins.

Songs of Expedience
Summary: Post Reichenbach adventures told from varying perspectives. Sherlock, Sebastian Moran, and John told separately, then joined (minus one) into an ongoing narrative.

Hearts for any Fate
Summary: Everyone’s eyes turn toward the young man being held by the scruff of his neck. He’s easily as tall as the sheriff, but much thinner in build. When he raises his head up, John’s heart catches at the sight of pale eyes reflecting the moonlight back to them. He very carefully controls his breathing but he can tell, even from this distance, that this newcomer noted the reaction. Jack takes in the raggedy young man’s clothes, his unkempt hair, pale eyes and high cheekbones. He thinks to himself "halfbreed" but out loud he calls Mike to come forward. Mike steps up and looks at the pitiful creature in front of them. He recognizes a boy he hasn’t seen in near ten years.

Soldiering On Through Friendly Fire

Rating/Warnings: Explicit

Private Ponderings
Summary: Sherlock Holmes is in love. It had taken him an inexcusable amount of time to figure it out, but in his defence it must be said that (a) it is extremely hard to deduce oneself and (b) never having been in love before he is completely new to the feeling.

Summary: “You’ve stuffed an entire body into the fridge this time,” John accused. “What happened to the milk? The leftover risotto? My bloody jam?”
Sherlock opened his eyes at that. “As a doctor, it should be readily apparent to you that there is only a partial body in our refrigerator. Popular horror stories notwithstanding, it’s rare for an entire corpse to fit into one this size. I had to cut it up into several parts to pack it in, and there is still only seven eighths of it there.”
John stared at the ceiling. “That’s... not better.”
Rating/Warnings: Explicit

You Can Hear the Wind

Rating/Warnings: Teen +

Triage
Summary: Sherlock’s mind goes exceedingly, devastatingly quiet and gray-blank. When he speaks it’s through a thick haze, it’s through molasses, he’s so disconnected from the words that it may as well be the unconscious shooter speaking.

Rating/Warnings: Explicit

Deduce Your Own Adventre
Summary: A Sherlockian, old fashioned, Choose Your Own Adventure book!!

Rating/Warnings: Explicit

The Measure of a Gentleman
Summary: It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a partner.
Less universally acknowledged is that a single man in possession of very little in the way of fortune may be in want of a partner as well, but John Watson had little time or energy to devote to his own wants or needs...

Enter one Mr Holmes...
Rating/Warnings: Explicit (P&P AU)

Rating/Warnings: Teen +

Crossing Bridges
Summary: Looking back later in life, John always felt that he should have seen it coming sooner. But the first weeks after the Heroic Return had been so filled up with moving back in and press conferences and recovering from the recent months and explaining and forgiving and soothing hurt friends and solving that case Lestrade had brought to them probably just to come to terms with Sherlock again that John only realised something was seriously wrong with his friend when it was too late for an easy way out.
Rating/Warnings: Explicit

Reichenbach Rising
Summary: Mycroft’s eyes were blazing. “I know you want to physically harm me and I do hope you have the opportunity soon, but again, I need to know, John.” Mycroft stepped closer, his keen eyes slicing through all of John’s frail artifice. “I need to know if, given the chance, you would lay down your life for the life of Sherlock Holmes.”
How different would things have been if John's sacrifice had prevented the Reichenbach Fall?

I Will Take Care Of You
Summary: Two years after Sherlock's death, John comes to find him on the sofa.

Sequelae
Summary: The truth is, Sherlock's coming apart at the seams. He needs—he needs, but they can't all dance.

The truth is, they need just as much, just as desperately. The truth is, he hides far too well, and they're clever, they are, but they're blind: they're not him.

And the truth is: John and Mary don't see until it may be too damned late.
Rating/Warnings: Mature, Polyamory Johnlockary, check the tags, Season 3 spoilers

Bleed Me Out
Summary: John isn’t exactly surprised to discover that Sherlock isn't human. His vampirism doesn't pose a problem, even when their relationship gradually grows into something more. That is, until a deadly revelation about John’s blood sends their lives spinning dangerously out of control.

Rating/Warnings: Homophobia, Family drama, coming out, Completed WIP

Stag Night for Two
Summary: Begins with the stag night scene in The Sign of Three. John grabbing Sherlock's knee leads to much more. Incorporates elements from His Last Vow now, as well, and has kind of gone totally off the canon rails. In the best way, I hope.

Lots of lovey, porny goodness, and later some good violence and villains.
Rating/Warnings: Read the tags

Seven Moons
