Look at us both.

What a time to be alive

Cause forever is in your eyes ...

But forever ain't half the time

I wanna spend with you ...

I wanna be with you ...

I wanna spend with you ...

This scene lives in my mind rent-free.

John, your gay is showing.

Sherlock, your love is showing.

Sherlock definitely kept this locked in his mind palace.

Tagging some writers and a podficcer below the cut, and wishing I could tag a hundred, so tagged or not, do join in 🌞

Past Imperfect, Future Perfect

John was an imperfect man, but he was perfect for Sherlock.  Or, a tale of tenses and tension.

Tags under the cut. If I didn’t tag you, you’re still invited to play!

The first thing I posted on AO3 (back in 2013) were the first few chapters of my Johnlock fic Over Hill and Under Hill. The fic would become the fourth part of my Over/Under series, the first story of which is a crossover with Cabin Pressure.

Here's my very first fic, and Mycroft's very first "case":

A Felicitous Natal Celebration

Summary:

And then Sherlock looks like that

Looking at John helplessly, eyes intermittently twitching towards him.

Look, I know John is talking about Mary here, and I also know our dear detective's aware of that.

HOWEVER !

The way Sherlock just. Looks devastated. means he understood perfectly what John said.

More than that, he feels it.

But at the end of the conversation, Sherlock doesn't go "ah, yes,you're right, let me phone her, let me go to Irene Adler."

No, he goes to comfort John. To stay with him. He embraces him.

And when John admits the "cheating" part, Sherlock immediately connects this to "even I text her sometimes. The Woman"

Sherlock associates texting Irene Adler with cheating on someone. I'm pretty sure that's why he never does it.
