Hey! Do you know any fics that are like âcharacter C dared character B to date character A, but they end up falling in loveâ? I donât know the name of this trope so I couldnât find any, but I think they might exist. Than you in advance!
You know, I really donât know what this is called either, but I do have a couple of âdate on a dareâ-type fics you can check out:
Denial Isnât Just a River in Egypt by satanatemycat (T, 2,107 w., 1 Ch. || Humour, Friendship, Texting, Bored/Cranky Sherlock) â In which John makes a bet with a co-worker. If he wins, she shuts up about him and Sherlock being a couple. If he loses⌠well, that doesnât matter, because he wonât lose. Because he and Sherlock ARE NOT a couple. Right?
The Hand Youâre Dealt by MapleleafCameo (M, 10,624 w., 6 Ch. || Humour, Friendship, Card Games, Alternate First Meeting, No Slash / Platonic Relationship) â John wouldnât have minded so much if only Sherlock would stop introducing him as âJohn Watson. I won him in a poker game.â
âfinally kiss the bloody idiotâ by Salambo06 (E, 29,812 w., 13 Ch. || Mutual Pining, Fake Relationship, First Kiss / Time, Angst, Misunderstandings, Fantasies, POV John) â Inspired by a fic idea on tumblr : âJohn and Sherlock know the Yard has a pool going for when theyâre finally going to get together. Itâs been running forever, and itâs worth thousands of pounds. Itâs all fun and games, hahaha, until they find out Lestrade is in dire financial straits (dog needs emergency surgery, heâs putting his kid through gymnastics training, I donât know, something), and they decide to fake a relationship to win the pool for him. Sherlock figures out the day and way that Lestrade thinks itâs going to happen, and they act it out. Itâs all for a good cause, fake relationship style, until itâs not.â Part 1 of The Pool
