The First Annunciation of John Watson by bricksnridges
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms

Summary
As John spoke and pled, he lost strength, worn out in his growing despair. He had said none of this while Sherlock was alive. What did it matter now, to whisper it to his corpse in a belated admission? He could announce his love to God and the world, but it would not change that the body in his arms, though still warm from life, was empty of his friend, his love. The body in his arms, closer than it had ever been in life, would not hear him though he cried out to it.
*******
In which Sherlock has just fallen, John fell long ago and finally announces it, and Sherlock is implied to realize that there might be another fall in his future— or, just maybe, one in his past.

On the Face of Love by bricksnridges for carocactus

Summary
Wei Wuxian has returned after 13 years lost. Lan Wangji, pining for Wei WWX for that duration and holding himself back since WWX's return, slips up and lets his desire for WWX be shown, only for it to be summarily rejected in apparent disgust. This hurts LWJ. This has always hurt LWJ.
Inspired by a short segment of Chapter 5 of “And On the Strangest Sea," though there's no need to have read that fic (encouraged, though! Review in the beginning notes.)

Summary
Chapter One: Wen Kexing knows Zhou Zishu has a sweet tooth. Wen Kexing is determined to make the perfect sugar cookie for his A-Xu. When he thinks he has, he creates a romantic evening for the two of them, but Zhou Zishu is late home from work. And it's snowing outside, heavily.
Chapter Two: A bonus Jing Beiyuan/Wu Xi one-shot, set the same evening as most of chapter one. Pure fluff in this one. Easily stand-alone.
Cozy winter vibes throughout.

The Promise We Pledged by bricksnridges

Summary
Lan Zhan's stream of consciousness through learning of Wei Ying's death, searching the Burial Mounds, finding A-Yuan, and reckoning throughout with justice, with what is right/wrong/black/white, and with his own failures. He finds, at the end, a will and a reason to continue.
He does not find Wei Ying, of course, not for 13-16 years. But this is the beginning of the path he takes to become worthy (in his mind) of Wei Ying's memory and, eventually, his love.
Not exactly linear. Italics are LWJ's direct thoughts.

Summary
The voice, Feng Xin registered dumbfoundedly, despite the broken phrases in which it spoke mingling into each other, tumbling over each other so fast it sounded like there were at least four Mu Qing's speaking, was now clear as day and impossibly close, far too close to be coming from someone who had just turned, facing away from him. In an ultimate attempt to refute his suspicion, he let his mind flicker to their private communication array, only to find it firmly closed. He stared at Mu Qing’s back, wide-eyed, his mouth suddenly very, very dry. If he wasn't hallucinating, then there was only one explanation for what was happening.
He was hearing Mu Qing’s thoughts.
————————————————————————————————-
On a mission with his hated rival Mu Qing, Feng Xin is hit by a blast - and suddenly he can hear Mu QIng's thoughts. All of them. Everywhere. And what he learns makes him question whether he ever knew Mu Qing at all.

TGCF: lovely angst, great story! Terrible spelling throughout, but super worth a reread. Loved it. Also inspiring… revisit for sequel/re-write?

Summary
New job, new truck, new fiancée... John Watson, former storm chaser, has settled into a comfortable new life.
There's only one problem: John's already married. And the the divorce papers he's been sending to his former partner, Sherlock Holmes, keep going missing. So with his fiancée Mary by his side, John reluctantly makes a trip to see him in the hopes of finalizing their divorce once and for all.
But John arrives in the midst of a very active storm season, and Sherlock very clearly hasn’t let go of the past. Against his better judgement, John finds himself talked into riding along after one last storm.
Twister AU!

Thoroughly enjoyed, great writing, great angst. One of my favorite fics, now. Reminder that John and Sherlock don’t talk about everything at the end; no real closure of their misunderstanding at the Reichenbach Hall, John’s insecurity about being boring/Sherlock getting bored of him, or why Moriarty became such a big thing for their relationship in John’s mind— there’s just the promise of “they know they need to talk about stuff,” and we’re not shown those discussions (which would be DELICIOUS and would provide closure for the beautiful buildup of those tensions, which are never resolved).

Summary
Wen Kexing tries to make Zhou Zishu jealous and goes just a little bit too far. He's so used to pre-relationship thirst for validation, he sometimes forgets they're already together and still takes that extra step.
Zhou Zishu is not having it.
