Excerpt

“I’d like a tattoo of this, please.” John slid across the counter the picture he’d printed out earlier. The man sitting on a stool behind the counter didn’t look up from what he was drawing.

“No, you don’t.”

John stared at the man with a frown. One, what did the man know about what John wanted? Two, he hadn’t even glanced at the picture.

“Um, yeah, I do.”

“Nope.” He popped the P extra loud as he said it.

“Excuse me,” John replied, feeling his blood pressure go up ever so slightly. “I think I know what I want. Also, you didn’t even look at it.”

A story of friendship and love, youth and discovery, tattoos and ballet, murder and origami. The story of John Watson, the kind, responsible boy next door who plays rugby and gets good grades, and Sherlock Holmes, the rude, careless bad boy with tattoos and piercings scattered around his body, who fights and does ballet. The story of what's hiding behind their facades. The story of how they find each other and, together, they make magic.

Woha, 15 already? And 20k words??? I mean I know I’ve been writing it for months so I shouldn’t be surprised, but still!!
