Summary
“Jesus,” John sounds mildly alarmed now. “Are you hurt anywhere else?”
I might have a few bruised ribs and something small and sharp is stuck in my right calf, so I respond in the negative.
“Okay. Alright… Listen.”
“I already dislike the destination of this conversation,” I try to interrupt, but John only looks down at me with concerned eyes, not seeming to register my words. An auditory processing disorder, perhaps?
“I don’t feel comfortable leaving you alone with a concussion. Is there—”
“I don’t have a concussion.” I really do. So do.
“—someone you can—”
“Come with me, then.” Very much do.
...A different first meeting for John and Sherlock where one is a bit less 'not gay', the other is not looking for a flatmate, and where Mike Stamford has Plans.

Phenomenally clever, beautifully crafted. Well worth the read - a happy ending but certainly heart-breaking in places.
Find yourself a comfy spot for the weekend, lay in the tea and biccies, and bask in the wonder that is.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is gorgeous but be prepared to feel heart broken by Sherlock and his low expectations / lack of understanding of boundaries. He has to walk a dangerous and scary road before he finds the understanding he so desperately needs at home. Also, Mycroft is wonderful. (But we knew that anyway, right?)

The passing of time, the adjustment into grief, and the realization that, one day, life moves on and we take those we love with us.
Beautifully written and delicately crafted.

His fingers tremble as he dials and he can’t force them steady. Familiar number, even though he hasn’t used it in two years. He isn’t even sure he should be calling it now, but she’d asked. She’d made him promise.

An excellent story that goes to show that other people’s perspective of us can help us learn more than we might imagine.

Summary
It's seventh year, Dumbledore is still alive and, after Hermione is attacked in the halls of the school, he comes up with a plan he is ever so sure will keep her safe... amongst other things. His Potions Master must be bonded to her. Of course! It's the only thing for it. It's not like Albus has ever been wrong before. Severus is understandably chuffed, but maybe it won't be as bad as he thinks. Sure, because he's typically lucky.

Summary
The soul bomb doesn't work, and God is going to die, but Amara has a soft spot for Dean. She gives him the gift of time: the end of the world will be slow.
Dean, Cas, and Sam travel the country in the breaking-down Impala to get in one last road trip and help their scattered friends wherever they can. Between looted gas stations and empty motels without wi-fi, monsters even more monstrous than usual, and heat so stifling not even Dean can wear more than one layer, they're fucked.
Unless they're not. Unless Billie the reaper is right and Cas has something amazing up his sleeve. Dean just has to get his head out of his ass and accept that the power of love might not be a total load of crap after all.

Some material/ideas appeared in a previous story, “Turns Into Earth,” but this is a fundamentally different take on End!Verse. (Ongoing and incomplete. Outlined to be 55K words).
