Summary
'One might love you in so many ways – which is not to say one should love you at all.' There are people who are easy to love. Sherlock Holmes is not one of those people. There are people who love easily. When it comes to Sherlock Holmes, John Watson is one of those people. Whether that is a smart idea, is another matter completely.

Summary
Ages from now, in a moment that is still numerous cases, several broken bones and countless memorable instants of breathless ecstasy away, local children will run through a garden overgrown with vegetation, flora running wild and untamed around skeletons of old beehives. But that is ages from now, in a moment that is still numerous blog posts, several broken tea cups and countless unusual love letters (read: intriguing corpses and breakfasts without bio-hazardous bits in them) away. So, let’s go back to now – there is a world being born, a world whose birth one wouldn’t want to miss.
[...]
It’s a new world, one that will be harder to destroy. Not because it is indestructible, nor because there won’t be challenges – oh, there will be (John wouldn’t have it any other way) – but because this time John knows, as does Sherlock, that, if handled with care, they allow each other to thrive.
They aren’t each other’s doom. They are each other’s greenhouse effect.Series

Summary
"Have you ever run so fast that you felt as if, after a while, you were being propelled simply by the gained momentum, no longer truly in control of your movements? You are in the past, in the present, and in the future, simultaneously. You are running, and time is standing still. It feels like horizontal falling – exhilarating. [...] Every story seems to have a beginning and an ending, right? Well, not this one. This story is different, because this is not just any story. It’s a story about clocks and chemistry and caring. It is a story about exhilarating horizontal falls. It’s their story."
When a fresh batch of brilliant murders occurs, Sherlock and John are forced to re-examine their relationship, as they wage war against ticking clocks. What will become of them? And who will win the war?
Let's find out.

Victoria and Galatea try to play go, but keep getting sidetracked by philosophical discussions. As usual. Inspired by Marvel Comics, but somehow I doubt Magneto and Professor X were ever this silly.

Summary
“I am the Empress,” she says, for once disregarding the royal we and the pronouns of grace, not because she dares to seem vulnerable in front of another sovereign, but because the treaty must be written. “You who are of equal rank may refer to me as Empress Chang.”
The Chieftess neither prostrates herself seven time before the Empress as tradition dictates nor bows sharply at the waist with her hands clasped in the respectful gestures of the huntsmen. “I am the Fa people,” she responds with eyebrows arched and pointed ever so slightly, “and as I am they, you may call me as they do: Lan Fan.”
Or, in which Lan Fan and May are opposing queens of opposing factions, which doesn't stop the unbidden falling in love.
