    Summary

    It's been two years since the incident on The Thames bridge.

    William is very much alive, and still learning to navigate a new sort of existence with his flatmate, partner and best friend in New York City.

    When a new case with The Pinkerton Detective Agency takes an unexpected turn, William's metal is put to the test. Freshly haunted by the demons of his past and still grappling with an answer to the question of his own atonement, he's forced to consider what it really means to take a life, and in doing so, he and Sherlock must finally confront the depths of their feelings for one another.

    'My thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved I can only live wholly with you or not at all -

     

     

     

    Be calm my life, my all. Only by calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together. Oh continue to love me, never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.

     

     

     

    Ever Thine,
    Ever Mine,
    Ever Ours.'

    Summary

    How beautiful it sounds. It catches him by surprise, the softness of the syllables hissing off his tongue. So much sweeter, so much more elegant than Moran.

    His lone heart beats hard in his ears, and he waits, praying for some response.

    Finally, mercifully, it comes:

    “Well now, you’ve never called me that before …”

    Louis finds an unexpected visitor in M's office.

    Summary

    Bright eyes snapped back to his, tumultuous enough to burn skin without the barrier of lenses. “You are either mine to do with as I please or you are not. Please choose.”

    Moran gives Louis what he asks for on his birthday.

    Summary

    He was a burden: of that, Louis was sure. He couldn’t understand why his brother’s kindness had needed to extend to this man, above all others.

    Then he saw Sebastian Moran handle a rifle.

    During an intelligence gathering mission in Liverpool 7 months after William’s return, Louis is forced to confront ghosts which still linger from grievances past, and in doing so, admit the true nature of his feelings for Moran — the man who secretly stole Louis’s admiration and then walked away without a word.

    Sometimes the breaking and making of a man occur simultaneously

     

    OR

     

    A story about how Louis lost his glasses and found himself.

    Summary

    William felt his heart begin to race like it once had as he sat upon a train bound for London, cornered and scrutinised by the most arresting gaze he’d ever met.

    “Sometimes …” It took him aback how his voice became breathless, and suddenly it seemed like he was being dragged soul-first into the depths of those bottomless blue eyes. “I miss the games we used to play together.”

    Sherlock’s brow twitched, as though he hadn’t been expecting such a revelation. He took another puff of his cigarette.

    “ … what sort of game do you want to play now, Liam?”

    It's William & Sherlock's first Christmas in New York. A particularly thoughtful gift is the catalyst for exploring buried feelings, and learning that some loves, regardless of time and place, will never change.

    Summary

    Sherlock stared at the scabbed skin beneath his right eye in the tarnished mirror of a New York hotel bathroom.

    The reflection staring back at him looked gaunt; dead-eyed.

    Even more dead-eyed than he’d managed to look in his entire 24 years, and that was a feat, to say the least.

    He ran his thumb along the edge of the wound, already half healed, and he felt his gut twist.

    It had been two weeks already.

    Two weeks since they’d arrived on American soil, and Liam still had not woken up.

    This is a story about grief and hope.

     

    A story about the something between drowning and living; the story of a gentle breeze; the story of Sherlock Holme's first four months alone in New York City, before William woke up.

    Summary

    This fic is inspired by the Sherliam Week '23 prompt: Wound

    Blood.

     

    It was everywhere, suspended in a blur of curling tendrils and clouds like crimson cigarette smoke, and please god, let it be his own, this time.

    Let the wound be his.

    Let his hands be numb but cleansed, finally, in waters that would end his abhorrent life.

    William closed his eyes and felt himself surrender to it once more.

    And, just like every other time he’d found himself sinking, hopeless, dying …

    Warmth embraced his face. There was light again, and a figure — that angelic image, haloed above him, and then contact at his lips —

    Heat coursed through his chest, and he gasped raggedly against the mouth of a man whom he was — physically — little more than acquainted with, and yet — existentially — seemed stitched soul to soul.

     

    Live. We both must live.

    Summary

    Her heart thumped hard behind her ribs, as though she might be about to tread dangerous ground. “Will you tell me about it, sometime?”

    He glanced over his shoulder at her, one slender brow arched in question.

    “The promise you made.” She bit her lip again, hoping she wasn’t assuming incorrectly, or worse, crossing a line. “At Shiganshina.”

    He held her gaze for one more fleeting heartbeat. Then he reached for the door handle, the expression on his face swallowed by shadows.

    “Sometime.”

    In a universe where promises are made and long, meandering paths trodden in order to keep them, what happens at the intersection of those paths?

     

    Live for yourself.
    Kill the Beast Titan.

     

    Levi and Historia both have promises to keep for loves lost. In the shadow of impending world war, their paths not only cross, but collide.

    Summary

    Your existence is a plain one; rearing sheep and goats in the rough coastal mountains of Norsnia. That is, until one day, life as you know it is shattered by the appearance of a man on a beach.

    His cloak is black, adorned with two wings. You know him as a magpie; officially, he is one of the Kingsguard. But why is he here? What does he want with you?

    You have a duty to fulfil to your country, a destiny you’re not allowed to run from, and a group of men and women who are prepared to fight to their deaths in order for you to realise your true place in this world.

    The path to the throne is one that twists and turns, hindered by fierce foes, loss and deceit. But he will be beside you every step of the way, both of you bound by a love that goes beyond simple duty, and a curse that will follow you until death do you part.
