    Summary

    Beth’s sad. Whatever can Rio do to make her feel better? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    (This was supposed to have been a one-shot, just to try my hand at a fic because I love the work of so many authors. But I’m too deep in the emotion with these two fools.

    Post S4 fic. No idea where it’s going.

    This has a planned ending

    This story is written, finally, after a year of meandering through soft Brio and some not so soft Brio. I hope you’ll enjoy it!)

    Summary

    As someone who's acted, directed, and written, I have these profound doubts about anyone who tries to claim interpersonal relationships are mere fakes, taken on out of expedience and pretended to without investement. It's amazingly difficult to draw a clear line between that which you perform for the sake of utility and that which you perform for the sake of desire. The framework of a rehearsal space, of surrounding fellow cast-crew-direction, the mutual understanding of theater--all these provide a safety net in theater, and even then actors regularly find that what they pretend takes on a life of its own. Sherlock, to me, shows very little sign of understanding what it would mean to play an intimate role with an unknowing partner under private and prolonged conditions. Judging by his soft melancholy and his odd evasions during the break-up scene with Janine in the hospital, I honestly tend to think he got in deeper personally than he realised.

    This, then, is a little tiny smidge of a scene, the night before John finds Sherlock in a crack house in "Vow." It can be seen as an extension to or sequel to "The Owl Looked Up."

    Summary

    --
    “I can handle myself.” She insists, doesn’t need him to protect her.
    Rio smiles, something slow and thoughtful at her words but also because he’s suddenly realized their position to one another. Heat pools unwantedly between her thighs and one of his hands move to rest beside where she’s seated on the desk.
    “You don’t gotta convince me, darlin’,” His thumb brushes along the outside of her thigh, “I know exactly what you’re capable of.”

    Summary

    He's always found nature to be an ineffable source of tranquility.
    His job may be centered in a number of dimly-lit warehouses and a smattering of crack houses, but that doesn't mean he likes that type of environment following him home.
    He saves the places that he draws his strength from for the few people who deserve more than the cynical outlook of steel beams and cement floors.
    He's never dared to show her this side of him, but shit, there's a first time for everything.
