Wow, what an awesome choice, Harriet!

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

Trying to get my breath under control. And fanning myself.

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

Thanks, you both
Susi, I've splitted the above post now with regard to sensitive people who need a little break in between
So this one is part two of the above Twelfth Night:

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

LOL, actually ...

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)

*swoon* That doesn't sound like anything one man would write to another, but.... I think I maybe don't care. heh

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

Great quotes, Harriet. Thanks for sharing. Made me smile.

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

I just finished earlygreytea68's skating AU, "Working on the Edges", which I enjoyed quite a lot, since I'm a figure skating afficienado from way, way back (anyone remember the Battle of the Brians at the '88 Olympics in Calgary? that's how way back I go). Sherlock is a British figure skater, John is a member of the American hockey team. Loved these final lines:
Sherlock's gaze was solemn and intent. He said, “I used to think, when I was with you, the feeling was just exactly like being in the middle of a quad, and I didn’t know yet whether or not I was going to land it.”John looked up at him. “And now?”“There’s always a moment in a jump when you know. You just know. You are beautifully aligned and the rotation is tight and it doesn’t matter that you’ve lost the ice underneath you and you’re flying through the air, you just know—you know—that it will be there for you when you want it back, that it will grab you, catch you, propel you into the next motion. There is a moment when you know. And I know about the quad now. I’m going to land it perfectly.”After a moment John smiled. “And I expect you to teach me how to do that, too.”“Whilst holding a hockey stick?”“Possibly,” laughed John.And when he kissed Sherlock, he knew exactly what Sherlock meant, because he felt as if he could see the net right in front of him, and he knew it would be a goal.
