Summary
Green.
The word green was used to convey a great many things. Illness. Envy. Inexperience.
Standing there amidst Janine's chattering bridesmaids, watching Sherlock furrow his brow and study fabric swatches, watching him smile and simper and flirt, John thought it a remarkably apt colour choice. Because he felt quite sick to his stomach, he feared the source of said sickness might very well be jealousy, and he had absolutely no idea at all what to do about it.
Or: Sherlock needs to fake a relationship for a case. He doesn't ask John.

A Tale of Two Soldiers by batslikepastel for quintessentiallychemical
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV)
19 Mar 2023
Tags
Summary
“Never have I ever kissed someone of the same gender,” Lestrade says with A Look between him and John, and Sherlock is uncomfortably aware of eyes on him as Donovan and the desk sergeant drink.
(Sherlock is frankly surprised that Lestrade himself has never kissed a man, given his inordinate interest in Mycroft, of all people. Oh, God. Not a mental image he needed. He shudders. Delete.)
Take that, Lestrade. He hasn’t drunk and neither has-
“Fuck you, Greg,” John laughs, ruddy-cheeked. He drinks.
The ensuing beat of silence is the longest Sherlock has ever felt.
***
It's Christmas, and Sherlock and John are finally flatmates again after the tumultuous events of the previous year. But a sudden revelation about John's sexuality and James Sholto's unexpected presence throw a wrench into Sherlock's plans, and his jealousy threatens to overwhelm him even as John remains blithely oblivious. Their relationship has reached a turning point, and the ball is in John's court now.

Summary
Adopting a secret cat in a no-pets-allowed apartment building is one thing. Kissing the new property manager after he discovers your secret cat is another.
Learning the property manager thought he was straight until you kissed him and accidentally sent him into a tailspin—well, it's a weird twenty-four hours for Ed Teach.
So: friends. Friends, he can do. Friends, that's easy. Except there are mochas, and there are movies, and there's this whole queer discovery he's helping Stede navigate, and there are a hell of a lot of chocolate muffins.
Sometimes the journey is the most important part.

Summary
“What do you want me to do?” Remus says, tiredly. All he wants is to curl up on his bed. Smoke a pack of cigarettes. Get drunk. He can’t stop looking at Harry.
“Remus...” Dumbledore is gentle. Remus hates when he has that tone. Hates that he knows it will hurt. “There is no one else left.”
A bitter laugh escapes him. “So you’ll curse the poor thing with a werewolf for a guardian?”

Summary
"Hey." Ed reaches across because it's the only thing that feels right. He grasps Stede's wrist and smoothes the pad of his thumb across his knuckles. Stede stops fiddling with his ring and looks up at him, wide-eyed. "This isn't Captain shit. This is God shit. Are you God?"
The room is blank with silence.
Gently, Ed repeats, "Are you God, Stede?"
Stede's voice is thin and high when he answers, "I'm not God."
"And is God here, in this room?"
Comically, Stede looks around like he might find God perched on the edge of his desk, or pulling books from his shelves to examine the spines.
"He's not," Stede concedes.
"That's right, mate. Stupid bugger doesn't associate himself with pirates."
Or: The Revenge has been becalmed for six days. Ed has bigger things to worry about, like sharks and being in love.

Summary
Sherlock Holmes realises his new flatmate cares about him. It's information he doesn't know how to handle.
Basically, the story of how Sherlock discovers love, and of how this changes him completely. Predominantly Johnlock, but other characters appear too, because love comes in different forms. Mostly canon compliant.

May All Your Christmases Be White by trouvailleamor
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, White Christmas (1954)
26 Dec 2021

Summary
“Get a look at those green eyes,” James says.
“They’re brown,” Sirius corrects, and he watches as the man tries his hardest to look anywhere in the crowd except at their table. Sirius is used to people being nervous around him, and he usually thrives off of it, but he would much rather prefer it if those brown eyes would meet his.
“No, they’re green. Like emeralds,” James says, like the sap that he is. There’s a reason that Sirius is the lyricist out of the two, James’s talents are better suited for composing.
“They’re definitely brown,” Sirius says, and James seems to concede.

Summary
Merlin frowned, and tried to inhale, but choked on a cough. He opened his mouth, trying to speak but his mouth was sticky and full and he felt warm, warm, warm, warm spilling down down down down…
The world tilted on its axis a little bit, and Merlin leant into Arthur’s body. Why was the world tilting?
Arthur’s face shifted from annoyance to horror.

Summary
Everybody’s a little fucked up after the war, Draco especially. What starts as hate sex after a night out, eventually turns into something else, something more like comfort. And even though his friends all tell Harry he’s just being used, all Harry’s doing is making sure Draco gets home in one piece. He’s not falling helplessly in love.

Summary
Harry and Draco are perfectly fine, separately minding their business in 2004, when the Unspeakables conscript them into service... in the First War against Voldemort.
Come for mutual pining and forced proximity in a 1980 hotel room, stay for young Sirius and philosophising about immortality and wormholes. And an eighties cowboy soap opera.
