Simon (or: Love Calls You by Your Name) by saintscully for scullyseviltwin
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV)
08 Mar 2022
Tags
Summary
"But it did happen. Sherlock had clearly mattered, judging by that dedication John had found in the pages of a dusty book. ‘When love flies’ implies the existence of love, after all; ‘Forever yours’ implies belonging, surely."
John bumps into Simon. The Simon. Five times in one night Simon.
(A presumptuous little epilogue for scullyseviltwin's "the suffering that is weathered", and yes, you should probably read it).

the curious case of the mysteriously missing birthday by darcylindbergh

Summary
Which leaves John here: looking for an excuse to do something nice, to do something special, something that will lift their spirits, and realising suddenly that he and Sherlock have lived together for nearly a year and they’ve never celebrated Sherlock’s birthday. John doesn’t even know when it is.
*
John Watson doesn’t know a lot of things, but he’s not about to let that stop him from doing what was important. And in this case, what’s important is celebrating Sherlock’s birthday--whether it’s the right day or not.

Eighteen years later, the real journey begins.

“You know,” John said thoughtfully, “you’re not really convincing me that it isn’t the murder that gets you going.”
As far as Sherlock can tell, Sherlock and John are friends. With benefits. There's no way that could get complicated.

Summary
“Sherlock,” John continues, careful and quiet. “I’ve seen your back. I know you were hurt. I don’t want to pry, I don’t want to cause you discomfort but...I’m starting to think something else happened there. In Serbia.”
Sherlock rolls away and sits up on the edge of the bed, his back to John.
“A great many things happened in Serbia,” he says, flat and remote. “None of them were pleasant.”

John’s marriage is over and he is finally back home (i.e. at Baker Street, where he belongs).
Sherlock is awfully insecure and John is awfully hesitant, and they're both awkward idiots, of course, but they figure it out. Many First Times happen.- Language:

Summary
"Love never dies a natural death, it dies of blindness, and errors, and betrayals. It dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings."
-Anais NinThis is the way love falls apart: by the smallest of increments away from each other, barely noticed for their insignificance until the sum of them becomes a distance too great to cross.
This is the way love grows: by the smallest of increments toward each other, barely noticed for their significance until the sum of them finds you standing face to face.
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
