If any of you would like to rebreak your hearts over Reichenbach feels, I've written a canon-conforming speech that was given by John at Sherlock's grave some time during the early Hiatus. Please do give it a chance and maybe a kudos? Teen and up for language, pre-slash, flower symbolism.

Beautifully sad.

That's so moving.

OK, I've done it. And you people made me, so it's your fault. (Yes, you lot over in the Character Analysis forum!)

Title: Heading for a Fall
Category: Drama/Angst
Rating: K on FF.net (U in the UK)

Sorry, it's gen. Not even het romance. But it's got a deduction, and a smile.

It's written as a movie script. I don't know why, it just came out that way. I just wrote what I would have liked to see. I'm interested to hear whether it works.

Enjoy!

General, Non-Slash, POV 2nd Person, angst. Topics included in this one are Sherlock, Merlin, The Hunger Games, Cabin Pressure, and Third Star.

Blurb: How is it that sometimes, the people who care the most about you are the ones who don't exist?

My first Sherlock fanfic.

Relationship: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

Summary: for John Watson, it was love at first sight when he met the enigmatic Sherlock Holmes. He narrates how their relationship grew as their adventures took them through highs and lows neither man could have fathomed before their partnership.

I'm writing my first ever chapter fanfic. It's a crossover between Sherlock, STID, and Skyfall. Strange combo, huh? Don't worry, it'll make sense. I promise. Especially if 'Q is a Holmes' is something you've heard of before. Unbeta'd bacuse I don't have a beta reader (yet), but I would appreciate if you took a look. Thank you so much!

Rating: Mature (Nothing that bad yet, but there will be in the future)

There was a reason for why he had chosen to call himself John Harrison. A smile twitched at his lips as he thought of the noble Watson's and how he had so cleverly taken their names and made them his. It was better than the alternatives. After all, one was merely a title. The other was one he would refuse to hear until...

Well.

After years of petty fighting between himself and his brothers, no one would expect Sherlock Holmes to care about family. They were wrong. For when Sherlock's family turns out to be not just his blood relations, but his friends and his brothers' friends as well, to threaten one is to threaten all. He will do anything for his family, even in an unfamiliar, alien world of the future.

Especially if that family contains a certain John Hamish Watson.

Breathingisboring - I've left a comment for "Name on a Black Slab" over at AO3. I thought it was very good.

OK, now, from me, something more lighthearted than last time!

Title: Dust is Eloquent

Category: Gen (a little drama, a little romance - nothing beyond canon - and a little humour)
Rating: PG for subtle references to drug abuse
Characters: Sherlock, Molly, Mycroft, Mike Stamford

Summary: How did St. Barts Hospital become Sherlock’s home away from home? - Set before "A Study in Pink". Sherlock and Molly meet for the first time. Mike Stamford chuckles. Mycroft does not approve. Greg Lestrade saves the day. Unrequited Sherlock/Molly (100 % canon compatible).

Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/2250372 (it's on FF.net as well if you prefer that format)

Enjoy!

I wrote a poem. And I started a tumblr blog. So, I present you with the poem and the link to my blog. Hope to see you there!

How is it that there is SO much Hurt/Comfort being written in the Sherlock fandom?

Of course, Sherlock suffers beautifully, but canonically, you will need to bodily knock him out cold or shoot him in the chest for anyone to be allowed to take care of him at all, and you can't do that all the time in fanfic. So for the longest time, I never looked at any of it.

Until I realised that Sherlock lends himself perfectly to Hurt/Comfort precisely because he'd resent it so much.

So here it is, my first ever Hurt/Comfort fic, featuring
- my favourite non-pairing (unrequited Sherlock/Molly),
- Sherlock doing Parkour in his full coated and scarfed glory (thanks to our very own Zatoichi for planting that idea in my head),
- Molly Hooper comparing the love of her life first to a cat and then to a waterfall,
- John commenting on the state of Sherlock's knees and refusing to give the dating advice that Sherlock never asked for anyway,
- and a left shoe.

Title: The Adventure of the Left Shoe

Summary: One of Sherlock’s secret bolt-holes in London is Molly Hooper’s bedroom, and that’s CANON. But how the hell did that happen? - A missing moment from just before “The Reichenbach Fall”. Action, Friendship, and a goodly dose of Hurt/Comfort - or it would be, if Sherlock would ever allow that sort of thing. Unrequited Sherlock/Molly, 100 % canon compatible.

Category: Hurt/Comfort, Friendship, Humour, and don't Molly wish it were Romance, too.

Rating: PG

Feedback is much appreciated!

Where is everyone? It's getting a little ridiculous, the way I'm monopolising this thread at the moment.

Title: "And yet, here I am"

Summary:
“I once heard a wise man say that sentiment is a chemical defect found in the losing side, and that you should never let your heart rule your head. It is perhaps a strange whim of nature that the wisest men are always the last to follow their own advice. And that includes myself, I’m afraid. I once told that very same man that caring is not an advantage. And yet, here I am.”

- After the disaster at Appledore, Mycroft Holmes contemplates Sherlock’s future (or lack thereof). Sherlock himself has very little to say on the matter. A missing moment from “His Last Vow”.

Category: Drama, Angst with a capital "A", a lot of Hurt and very little Comfort
Rating: PG-13 (T) for references to suicide
Feedback is much appreciated!
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/2325254

It has been described by a reviewer on AO3 as "kind of brutal and yet beautiful", which is exactly what I was aiming for. So be warned. Enjoy it if you can.

I just read this, Jolie, it's amazing! It's what I wished for someone to write because I couldn't imagine where they'd keep Sherlock. How did you know about these cells, if I may ask?

Apart from that, I just posted a story which took rather a long time to finish because it didn't seem complete for so long, I kept adding and changing parts until it felt right. It's about how the hiatus might have been for John if he'd known that the suicide wasn't real, and about Sherlock's return with this different scenario.
If anyone's interested, here it is:

Thank you for the compliments, Susi and Kerkerian.

I'm glad you liked it. I hope I haven't traumatised you. At least not too badly.

Susi, I will reply to your comment on AO3.

I'm in the legal profession. I no longer do criminal law (thankfully) but it was part of my training so I've actually seen these places, and seen them in use, too. They're where prisoners are put when they go off the rails and attack their fellow inmates or prison staff, but they're also used for suicide watches, which is what my scenario essentially is. I do feel a bit guilty about using it as a backdrop for entertainment purposes, but it's what kept coming into my head whenever I tried to picture the post-Appledore events...

I love it! So wonderful what you made of a prompt that could have turned into a silly high-school romance. Kudos.
