Summary
It’s January. The month of budgets, and New Years resolutions, oh and Severus Snape’s Birthday.
Snape’s budget lasts all year round but he’s a master at hiding how truly hard up he is - or so he thinks.
Harry isn’t quite as oblivious as Snape first thought but Snape is pretty much oblivious to the fact that he’s dating Harry Potter.
A twelve month journey revolving mainly around Severus Snape’s budgeting skills and Harry Potter’s shameless wooing of the man.

Summary
Now complete!
The first time it happened was completely by accident.
Post-Reichenbach, John finds a way to hold on to Sherlock after all.
Prepare yourself for 1.) angst 2.) plot 3.) smut 4.) more smut 5.) even more smut 6.) more plot 7.) happy ending. But, in apparently WAY too many chapters. If you're worried about the graphic violence / torture, be aware it's limited to Chapter 30. Probably canon-typical, but I'd rather over-warn than under-warn.
Here's an excerpt, just to give you hope through the angsty first few chapters:
"I am going to seduce you, Sherlock Holmes," he rumbled into Sherlock's ear, smiling as Sherlock's breath grew unsteady again. "Not because you need it, but because you deserve it. We both do." He gave Sherlock a squeeze. "Trust me?"
Sherlock's head lifted, those uncanny pale eyes looking at John with complete sincerity. "I've always trusted you, John."
John felt the last bit of tension leaving his shoulders. "Good." He kissed Sherlock one more time, swift and soft — a promise. "That's good."

Summary
Harry didn't have many qualms about covert surveillance anymore. If he did, he was certainly in the wrong line of work. But he knew that if he allowed himself to be sucked into this budding...feeling, edging far too close to desire, watching Eggsy like this would soon turn from enticement to torture.
Harry never stops watching Eggsy.

Summary
Dragons had always been a problem for those who lived in Middle-Earth. No matter where you lived or who you were, you most likely had a dragon story or two to tell.
Bilbo Baggins had more than enough for his lifetime, thank you very much.
He'd lost his father to dragons while adventuring outside the Shire and later became a parent to his orphaned nephew after a dragon attack. With the sudden appearance of dragons just north of the Shire, dwarves have been called to help protect them. One dwarf in particular takes an interest in Bilbo and young Frodo - and maybe now Bilbo has at least one thing to thank the dragons for.
