    Summary

    At Montague Street when Sherlock was forced to sate his body’s needs, he was at least able to wander about the flat as much as he pleased.

    At Baker Street, it was mini-bags in a mini-fridge and bedroom confinement.

    Summary

    In the first month of being co-opted into working with Illya Kuryakin full time at U.N.C.L.E., Napoleon stole Illya’s father’s watch four times, twice out of spite, once out of drunken curiosity, and once out of sheer boredom. After the fourth time, Gaby sprained one of Napoleon’s fingers and threatened to do worse if he did it again.

    “You are not a spy,” she told him firmly, dangling the watch out of reach as Napoleon curled in a wincing, fetal position on his Le Corbusier couch in his upstate apartment. “You are a thief with the self-control of a child. Now give me back my ring.”

    “What ring?” Napoleon asked innocently, even through the pain.

    “How fond are you of your nose?” Gaby shot back blandly.

    Summary

    “I had two hearts once.” John raises a hand to rub at his scarred shoulder. “Now there’s just the one. It gets lonely, knocking about my ribcage all on its own.” He smiles a bit. It’s not a happy sort of smile, because John hears it at night, sometimes, beating too fast or too slow, losing rhythm without a partner to help keep count. The sound of its distress is loud in the emptiness of a room that is exactly the size you’d expect it to be when you enter it.

    Summary

    Kintsugi (Japanese: golden joinery) or Kintsukuroi (Japanese: golden repair) is the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with lacquer resin dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.

    As a philosophy it speaks to breakage and repair becoming part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

    Summary

    John steeled himself, planted his feet and pushed up out of his chair with determination, cutting off Sherlock’s path to the kitchen. Sherlock lifted his brows in question and then abruptly frowned as John reached forward, pulled off Sherlock’s goggles, cupped Sherlock’s face in his hands and leaned forward and up.

    On 01/02/2018 my external hard drive, full of stories, art and images, stopped working. I have yet to get it recovered. It will cost me around £200+ which I can't spend, that's if they can recover anything at all as things might be lost for good.
    Unfortunately this means such stories stored on there, which includes this one, can't be edited or finished until I know for definite.
    If it can be fixed and I get the money to do it, things will be updated, if not, they will be deleted.
    I will make it known if the latter is the only option, don't worry!
