What a Wonderful World it Would Be by Couldbeamidget

Summary
A first-hand view of the mechanics involved in inherent madness.
(I dare you...try to say that fast, five times in a row. It sounded better in my brain than out loud.)P.S - all of these chapters will be short, as this is written from a child's perspective (and I am a lazy shit). If this is annoying, wait until I've posted several chapters to check out my updates. Or not... free will and all that. Anyway, virtual hugs to those who have chosen to read this in the first place. Ta.

Left to His Own Devices by Couldbeamidget
Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, Sherlock (TV)

Summary
The once-fruitful partnership has soured, gone wrong. Sherlock's refusal to comment is quickly wearing John thin. It must be so amusing to watch John flounder whilst he's doing his bloody godammed best to "keep up". Sherlock makes a living from deducing people's foibles...so why choose John as a partner? Why choose John out of everyone, when they both know he never stood a chance? John's done playing the fool. He's more than ready to quit.

The Balance of Probability by CaffeinatedSquirrel (Couldbeamidget), Couldbeamidget for lalarandoms

Summary
The power dynamics involved in a powerfully dynamic relationship.
AU, in that in this universe Moriarty does not exist. I am trying to keep this particular story lighthearted. Frankly, I find it impossible to stay fluffy when the specter of Reichenbach hovers. I'm a glass-half-empty kind of gal.
Sherlock and Co., ACD's books, and the work on BBC does not belong to me. Alas.

"It's Christmas!" - Messing With the Lyrics by Couldbeamidget
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms

Summary
What it says on the box. I really enjoy works based on holidays, but write so slowly that I never make the date on time. So, something simple, stupid, and hopefully amusing to read.
Also *cough cough* if anyone is interested in making a podcast of this...have at it. I would like to, but not only do I not have any recording equipment, my voice sounds like a coked-up squirrel sucking helium. Seriously. I used to read and record text books for visually impaired students in college. I used to think..." Those poor people, having to listen to me if they want to study!

Shock and Awe - or, How Sally Busted Jim's Chops by Couldbeamidget
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms
27 Feb 2020
Tags
Summary
Sally is done with Lestrade's fawning over that floofy-haired freak. It's time to cut Sherlock off by the knees; his, preferably. 'Til now, the Met hasn't dared confront Sherlock, either leery of his wrath and/or overly impressed by his "skills". It's up to her, then, one lone female detective sergeant - with great hair - to prove just how creepy the man is.
Donovan's plan is not exactly cricket, involving slightly illegal weaponry and as much surveillance equipment she can nick. Upon careful consideration, she adds two complete sets of PPE. Whatever dark and deadly depravities the psycho pulls off, she'll be ready. The game, dear readers, is afoot!

Frenemy Mine by Couldbeamidget for mandysimo13, Podfixx
Fandoms: Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
26 Jul 2019

Summary
This little ditty came about whilst I listened to Mandysimo13's lovely story "An Angel's Temptation", as a podfic created by the incredible, irrepressible Podfixx (Lockedinjohnlock).
Yes, I've dared to stick my toe into the Good Omens fandom. Thanks for reading, I hope you like it.

A Freudian Slip (or, I wrote this whilst listening to The Beatles) by Couldbeamidget

Summary
John and Sherlock analyze their relationship. It gets intense. After this I think I should change my username to Couldbeapervert.
Also, I like the Beatles, and Freud was a jerk.

Couldbe's Gone 'round the Twist by Couldbeamidget
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms
14 Mar 2019
Tags
Summary
This little bit of nonsense is a take-off from an Austin Powers flick, where Austin and his Dad have a complete conversation primarily using British slang. I've gone on multiple sites trying to find the proper vernacular for a story, and so was inspired to write a short dialogue of my own. Seriously. I'm not taking the piss.
P.S. It's written in dialogue-only form, with the UK version in normal type, and the USA in italics.
I just have to say the the American version of Lestrade has a potty-mouth. That is all.

The Eyes of the Storm by Couldbeamidget for lalarandoms
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms
13 Mar 2018
Tags
Summary
John is left with survivor's guilt, and is doing a damn fine job of drinking himself into death. His fury over Mary's death and his perceived personal failings have John convinced he is a waste of a man. He has yet to reconcile with Sherlock, despite the detective's bravery and selflessness. Placed time wise after Culverton Smith is caught, but before his conversation with Sherlock at the end of The Lying Detective. Sherlock reads John's letter, Mary makes a surprise visit, and everything else is fine. It's all fine, actually. And there will be smut. Alot, surprisingly (most of all to the author)
PS - resubmitted due to some chapter revision - no new material added.
