    Summary

    "As she searched for her palette knife, Avery returned his chair to a respectable angle, and reached down into his bag. Penelope was just about tearing her hair out when she felt something pass her lips. Turning her head in shock, she saw Avery twirling her paintbrush leisurely between his fingers. Penelope exhaled, mouth falling open in exasperation, and was about to say something devastating when she saw him approach again, and in the blink of an eye, tasted metal on her tongue where the wood was before.

    Speechless, she stared motionlessly into the brown of his eyes and slowly closed her mouth around the knife, her lips grazing his fingertips as he pulled back and smiled, looking almost with pride at her stillness. Whilst she sat paralysed with the speed of her thoughts, he reached down into her pocket, took a shilling, and winked at her, before leaning back in his chair again.

    “Pay attention next time, Lockett.”

    Alright, Gabriel Avery. Game on.

    Avery - 1 // Lockett - 0

    ---------------
    Or, Penelope and Gabriel pick each other's pockets, and maybe exploit each other's weaknesses in the process.

    Summary

    What if John was far more aware than Sherlock ever thought, just in a way Sherlock never noticed?

    Original, I know, but this fic has been haunting me for over a week, and for my ADHD ass that's a lot.

    Basically John has super human reading people abilities, trauma, etc, like sherlock with his deductions for, like, everything else.

    Tags will change as I write more, I rewatched Sherlock last week, but I don't know what all I'll do with it, so who knows where this could go.
