    Summary

    John didn’t know if it was the sight of the dark-haired man with the sharp cheekbones, the dexterous, long fingers on the violin, the beautiful notes he played, or a combination of all three, but he was utterly mesmerised the moment the man started playing. A shiver ran down his spine, and he was unable to look away.
    Suddenly the man looked up, straight into John’s eyes, and their eyes locked. The man’s eyes were ice-blue, almost glistering in the warm light that surrounded them, and John swore he’d never seen such remarkable, gorgeous eyes before. The man gave him a small smile, and that was it. John felt how his knees went weak; his heart skipped a beat; his lungs refused to take a decent breath. If he didn’t know better, he would’ve sworn he’d just fallen in love with a complete stranger.

    But that couldn’t be possible, could it?

    Summary

    When the florist looked up to put the vase on the counter, he apparently noticed the arrival of his new customer. “I’ll be with you in a moment,” he said in a bright tone, before turning back to the flustered lady and ringing up her purchase. He herded her out the door, closing it after her and turned back to Sherlock. He put his hands behind his back and raised his face up to catch Sherlock’s eye, an open expression in his eyes. “How can I help you, then?”

    “I’m looking for a bouquet.”

    “Oh really?” The man’s tone was mocking, a glint in his bright blue eyes.

    Sherlock rolled his eyes, but couldn’t help smiling. “I– Well, there’s… You’ve got all of these…” He winced. “Things. Trinkets. Could have been anything.” There was something about the cheeky expression of the florist that made his breath high in his chest and his words come out jumbled.

    The florist chuckled. “I’m teasing. Sorry. Any special occasion?"

    Summary

    Clara's American father is the ambassador to some such territory that Great Britain probably used to own, but she (and Harry’s undying love for her) is the reason John is getting on a flight at 12:30pm, flying across the second largest ocean in the world, and pretending to be in a perfectly happy, healthy relationship with an undoubtedly perfectly coiffed stranger.

    See, Clara is not only American (and wealthy to boot), she's also best friends with John’s ex-fiancee. Whom she's placed in the wedding party. As Maid of Honor.

    And John just happens to be Best Man.

    Bloody brilliant.

    John might not be as observant as the world’s only consulting detective but he has noticed the way Sherlock looks at him and then looks away when John turns his head. He has witnessed small smiles and blushes whenever they are in close proximity.

    Summary

    There should be fireworks or a national parade for this sort of revelation instead of this: two people having a conversation in the dying light of an April evening, prompted by almost nothing, but almost a decade too late.

    Or, Sherlock and John finally get the happy ending they deserved.

    Summary

    “Daddy.” Rosie Watson called.

    With a sigh Sherlock reached out and caught her about the waist, rolling over with her to deposit her in the middle of the bed.

    Rosie giggled, it was all a great game to her ever since she had learned to leave her bedroom at dawn’s first light.

    “Hush.” Sherlock whispered, soothing her. “Go back to sleep.”

    Summary

    But it wasn't enough, not for John. He needed more. He needed someone to hold besides a child, and someone to kiss on the lips and not just the top of the head. He needed sly looks across the dinner table and to know if he put Rosie to bed early he might emerge from her room to find a candle lit and dessert served just for two.

    Summary

    Green.

    The word green was used to convey a great many things. Illness. Envy. Inexperience.

    Standing there amidst Janine's chattering bridesmaids, watching Sherlock furrow his brow and study fabric swatches, watching him smile and simper and flirt, John thought it a remarkably apt colour choice. Because he felt quite sick to his stomach, he feared the source of said sickness might very well be jealousy, and he had absolutely no idea at all what to do about it.

    Or: Sherlock needs to fake a relationship for a case. He doesn't ask John.

    Summary

    Six months. Six months since John moved back into Baker Street with Rosie and the nightmares show no signs of ebbing. There are recurrent images of Mary bleeding out in the aquarium, images of Rosie crying in an empty room for her mother, and as always, images of Sherlock’s body lying crooked and bloody on the pavement in front of St. Bart’s.

    There are new nightmares, too. But not John’s.

    Summary

    “And we”, he growled, “are here why, exactly?”

    Sherlock painted the picture of innocence as he answered, ever so glibly: “I thought you’d enjoy a night out with friends. Mrs Hudson still has Rosie, we might as well make use of the free evening.”

    It might have worked, if John couldn’t see Greg facepalming out of the corner of his eye. Molly was staring at her feet as if trying very hard not to give anything away. Really, none of them were good actors. Something was going on and all three of them were in on it.

     

    Expecting to simply return home after a hideously simple case for an evening in with his flatmate and his daughter, John instead finds himself being dragged to a pub by Sherlock. But what starts out as a nice evening catching up with Molly and Greg soon reveals itself as a scheme to help him get back in the dating game after Mary's death. Too bad that John really only wants one person - and he's trying to set him up.
