Inspired by a delicious piece of NSFW-ish fanart by @anotherwellkeptsecret. Will link if I get permission! "John wanted to be the one wearing Sherlock’s shirt when he saw Janine wearing it."

*

“I reckon you’ll think it’s silly,” said John.

“What?” Sherlock hesitated on the last button: small, pearl, white as the  Italian cotton of the shirt. “That we’re –” he circled one hand in a flummoxed gesture that took in the disastrous mess of a bedroom, his own disheveled hair, John already half-undressed (and chilly from the look of it).

“No, you berk. I meant – that shirt. That’s the one Janine had on when Mycroft met us here, after –” (Well. Don’t go too far into that.) “Only white one I think you own.” He lifted the edge of the placket with one finger.

Sherlock’s brows drew together in genuine perplexity. “And the silly thing about that would be?”

John’s chuckle was a little sheepish. “Seeing her swanning about in it – there I was, pregnant wife back at our flat, you were still high, you’d just given bloody Mycroft the right about against the kitchen door – and all I could think was how much I wished I were the one popping out into the hallway with that shirt on.”

“John, in these circumstances, if you were to suddenly require… coverage, your own shirt is. Um.”

“Over the wardrobe door, I think.”

“Hm. No. Oh, there. On the carpet.”

“Not the point. It’s that it was your shirt. And she was wearing it as if – I pictured you putting it on her, taking it off her, doing – what I assumed you were doing while she wore it, and all I wanted was to be the one who got to – ” He smiled wryly. “Daft, I know.”

“John. It was for the case. You know I – we. Nothing happened. No matter what she said to the Mail reporters. I told her we had to… take things slow.”

“I didn’t know that then.”

“I am aware,” said Sherlock, “that I have been unkind.”

It was a long, slow kiss, both an apology and a promise. John’s flanks were warm under his hands, John’s trousers and pants slid to the floor with a minimum of awkward indignity. “This is where I begin to make it up to you.”

“Mmf. Bit too dressed still, aren’t you?”

“Keenly observed.” Forehead to forehead, a hum of deliberation. “We ought to check the fit.”

“Of what?” John’s smile again, playful this time.

“Take this off me, John.”

The sleeves whispered over long, wiry arms, John’s fingers tracing the curves of muscle, the tender skin at elbow-crook and wrist. Sherlock caught the shirt before it could fall, and held it out. “Let’s see how it suits you. – Hmmm. A bit long. Very snug.”

“Ta very much. Haven’t even started.”

“And… it seems to have, er, quite an effect.”

“I hope you’re not going to take things slow.”

“Only enough for, ah, savour – oh.”

“Yes?”

“Come over here, Captain Watson. No, leave that on. Let’s see what else fits.”

WIP WEDNESDAY

@anotherwellkeptsecret was kind enough to make me a stunning illustration for the upcoming chapter of Chemistry. Posting it with a little snippet of what's to come in Chapter 14:

They were both scared, and neither had to go through it alone anymore. 

Be not afraid. “I love you,” he whispered, feeling his lips and tongue make the shape of those words for the very first time. ‘It feels loved… I’m astonished you can’t feel it’. Had he said that out of spite, or hope? Perhaps both. 

“Right. Good.” Crowley closed his eyes. The noise he made was such a stereotypical sigh of relief– ‘Phew’– that Aziraphale almost laughed, but bit his lip because he suspected it was a genuine reaction. 

“I’m sorry I didn’t–” 

Crowely shook his head minutely. Aziraphale remembered being shushed at the airbase (“I was technically on apple tree duty…”). When Crowley's eyes opened, there was a sheen to them. 

Aziraphale smiled at him. Crowley scowled. “‘M fine,” he said, and rubbed the inside of his wrist across his cheeks. “Don’t say anything.” 

Lemme know if there's any interest in a Sherlock one or a Harry Potter one!

Gorgeous artwork commissioned by AnotherWellKeptSecret. (You can see more of their art and comics at their website, Tumblr, and Patreon)

This art is for the story Caramel Delight, a sweet three chapter meet-cute.

After years of enduring hellish neighbours, Crowley is delighted when they finally move out, and even more delighted when their replacement is easy going, friendly, doesn’t leave his bins on the kerb for weeks, and… attractive in a way that causes a fluttering in Crowley’s midsection like a battalion of butterflies attempting to form ranks.

This is more my style

And this is a comparison between Kelly’s sketches and the final product (done by me)

Last but not least, the latest:

Here ya go, @ace-sher-bi-john

I could do a comic solely on my own, however, my disabilities would make the initial start nearly impossible to do right now. One page would probably take me maybe 6 months from start to finish. Being able to trust Kelly with the vision (not to mention her skill with expression which I struggle with immensely) and do the sketches for me has helped a lot. Kelly is a friggin Saint, btw. (Go look at her stuff!)

I’m still fooling around with it and as the comics go on it will eventually morph more into my personal style as I get more comfortable. Although, some of the character designs I’ve got rather attached to. Like check out this redesign on my vamp, Bou!

*shakes tablet aggressively*

It’s so freakin GOOD! Perfectly captured her essence.

Tout ce qui reste : 80 - 89

Précédent - Suivant - Début

A wonderful commission from @anotherwellkeptsecret displaying a little future excerpt for my Deadpool/Sherlock crossover: Deadpool’s Bestest, Best Besties, (many thanks Kelley!) where Sally Donovan and Inspector Dimmock of Scotland Yard team up with the insufferable Deadpool of Marvel.

...it goes as well as you’d expect.
