All these from Katie Forsythe's „Twelfth Night“ - and some of them rather explicit

„He had obviously not long been back from his surveillance--masquerading as a stevedore, I believe, though I cannot bring myself to care--but he had managed to remove all of his clothing from the waist up and cover himself with a gorgeously fluttering half-open dressing gown.  This is the sort of thing which used absolutely to madden me: Holmes had sworn to return by seven for our mutual feast, and here it was ten in the evening and he had not even finished wiping the soot from his face.  And yet somehow, somehow, he had managed to find the time to render himself half-naked.“

“I stare at his hands the way some men stare at explicit photography.“

(Directly following the one before, seperated just for the effect) „As for me, an entire diorama of naked men and nubile young females, hard and wet respectively, displaying themselves in the most lewd and mutual sharing of Bacchanalian lust, feeding each others' every orifice while Jove in the form of an erect stallion looked on with relish, would not have distracted me for so much as a single second if Sherlock Holmes' index finger also happened to be in the room within my line of sight.  Why mince words on the subject?“

“My friend's eyes are a still worse temptation than his hands.“

“… apparently the only thing more devastating than Sherlock Holmes is Sherlock Holmes wearing eye liner.“

Beautiful quothes. And the most skilled fanfiction author thus far - every word from her is like a poetry.

I hope you are not talking about me, darling. :-)

I read them without the break and did not break. 

In "The Sum of Us," John and Sherlock have been, um, doing it, for a while, and John is just starting to be more open about it. Here's the quote where he lashes out after getting a negative reaction from some older friends (rugby team):

You worried I’m secretly lusting after you? That it? Well allow me to burst that bubble for you, I wouldn’t touch your lardy arse with a ten foot pole. Yeah, I fell in love with a bloke. A beautiful, tall bloke who outsmarts all of us put together and who is infinitely better than you in any way you can imagine. So don’t you worry your ignorant little head about how I might turn into some kind of gay predator out to shag every single one of you cause trust me, I got something so much better to go home to.”

Sherlock has, er, a "sexual consultant" in this one, too. See who it is.

Any time, in a fanfic, John raves (or sighs) about Sherlock's beauty, I figure the writer must be pretty, well, Ben-addicted. That's usually how it is with fan fic writers - "into" one or the other of the actors.

I read that one quite a while ago, and I remember the scene from which you've quoted here. It was quite a scene and very well done. It can be hard to write realistic-sounding dialogue, but I agree, the author did well!

Perhaps because, among other things, the homophobia is not SO over-the-top, as it is when an author really wants to make a character "bad"? And it deals with the issue that I think is often at the root of homophobia: "Does he want me? And would I really NOT be interested if he did?" 

I like anything where one of the boys verbalizes how attractive they find the other - especially when it's TO each other, as part of the preliminary stages of, well, you know...

In this Katie Forsythe fic, Holmes tells the story of how his first partner betrayed him (and was caught with another man). Watson replies:

"I cannot imagine a man who could have you would ever waste his time with lesser creatures."

Same sentiment.

I have just read the amazing "Letters" series by earlgreytea68, brilliantly written and thoroughly heartwrenching and my favourite quote is from the letter from John to Sherlock:

"Come home.Please. I love you more than I can say. more than I can tell you, so let me show you.Come home, and I will never let you shatter. I will keep you, safe and sound, my love, my life, my heart.Please." (Letters, Revisited)



 

From Silent Auror The Rising Tide (not one of my favs, but I like these quotes) about their relationship:

That light flickers in Sherlock’s eyes. “We know the where, the who, and the why,” he says. “We’re just missing the what and the when.”

Sherlock sits up just a little, pushing himself onto his elbows. “It’s not a mystery. I lied: we do know the when. The when is now. The what is up to you, John Watson.”

You're welcome, ag. I started the habit of bookmarking all the good quotes from any fanfic I read on my reader, so I hope there will be more every now and then 

AG, I got to meet Brian Boitono and got his autograph!
