  1. Summary

    Season 3 and the interpretation of dreams:

    At some point I realised that season 3 makes the most sense if I approach it not as “realistic” fiction (as I do The Reichenbach Fall) but as a) filmed from Sherlock's point of view and b) therefore being full of psychological/symbolical meanings rather than just factual events. If we see season 3 as oscillating between the object level (things and events are factual) and subject level (things and events are symbolic of aspects of and events in the psyche) things immediately become a lot more interesting.

    Summary

    John closes his eyes, his hand clenched into a tight fist against his belly and still trembling. For god's sake, Watson, he thinks. Maybe a dog would be better this than you are. Better at living.

    Written for the sherlockbbc-fic kink meme prompt: "John deals with his nightmares and PTSD every day. But sometimes it gets to be too much for him, and he retreats into himself and pretends he's a dog."

    Bookmarker's Notes

    A John-is-a-dog story for the cat rec list.

    Sometimes, when everything gets too much, John enters into dog headspace. Surprisingly believable.

    Summary

    Sherlock/Lestrade, Sherlock/John. Sherlock is an idiot. Except when he's not. (But he usually is.)

    Written for queer-fest, prompt was: Sherlock Holmes/any character, He's asexual, not aromantic. You'd have to be an idiot not to understand the difference. Unfortunately, most people are.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    For the next set of OT3 recs

    Lestrade is straight but biromantic. Sherlock is asexual but not aromantic. They have a thing and then John shows up and things get vaguely OT3 flavoured.

    Summary

    Did this mean he'd resolved his trust issues? John wondered vaguely, that he trusted Sherlock not to hurt him? He doubted it. The truth was probably far worse: that he wouldn't care if Sherlock did.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Thinky BDSM

    Beautifully intimate descriptions of John's relationship with a knife he acquired in Afghanistan and what it means to him emotionally. The scene of Sherlock marking him is both sensual and very emotionally intense. Utterly believable.
