Summary
John wants to explain the rush of sensation and data, which is just another form of sensation (or is it the other way around?). John wants to say:
Augmentation circuits report temperature, pressure, various forms of quantitative input. Sudden changes are reported as pain, since sudden changes are dangerous, and pain is the quickest way to encourage reflexive extraction.
But all John can manage is, “Nng.”
Because this sudden touch is not reporting as pain.

Summary
John wakes up with an armful of Sherlock.
This – situation – is unusual, yes, and definitely unfamiliar, but in no way does it feel wrong.
Rather, it feels the exact opposite.

Summary
from the text: The sexual tension in 221B is nearing explosive levels, but neither inhabitant seems willing to act upon it. Why everyone behaves as if this is Lestrade's problem, he has no idea…

Summary
“John – John? Wake up.”
John peels his eyelids apart and lifts his head from where it had settled between the car’s headrest and the rattling window with a groan. It takes him a moment to realise that the window isn’t rattling anymore, and then he nearly pitches out headfirst when Sherlock opens his door without warning.
“John, come on!”
When had they pulled over? When had Sherlock gotten out of the car?
“Urhhhh,” John says, rather eloquently, he feels, undoing his seatbelt. After two botched attempts, he manages to make his hands coordinate to push the release button and pull the strap in a useful way, and then he’s finally stumbling out of the car, his feet sinking – sinking? – into –
“Sand?”

Summary
John finds it three months after he's moved back.
He's on the hunt for something to make for dinner, is scrounging through the cupboards, when he happens upon the graveyard of pasta boxes Sherlock still seems to create when left to his own devices. Behind seven boxes of pasta, all almost completely empty, is a dark-glassed bottle, with a paler coat of dust.
It's unopened.
John's face falls slack when he sees it, instantly recognises it, and for a long moment he just stands and looks at it.

Summary
Sherlock doesn’t just come out and say: ‘John, I think it’s time you moved into my room with me, and I’d like it very much if you did just that.’ No, that’s not his way, especially in this not-his-area.

Summary
This whole ridiculous night had been Sherlock’s idea (of course). As far as John could tell, this wasn’t even for a case – his flatmate and best friend had simply been bored and antsy enough for the past week to finally resort to desperate measures – in this case, desperate measures seemed to take the form of data gathering and/or experimenting.
Experimenting on what, though? John’s patience is as likely a candidate (and casualty) as any when it comes to Sherlock’s whimsies and curiosities. And yet, when a text had instructed him to change into a casual suit (laid out for him, typical) and go to a specific address, John had complied with a bare-minimum of reluctance.
Sherlock Holmes isn’t the only one who gets bored, after all.

Summary
“A few weeks ago I would have thought you were impossible,” Sherlock begins, walking into the kitchen in his blue robe, and John – not quite catching on – wants to scoff and argue, No, actually, you are impossible, but then Sherlock continues: “But now I’d say you are improbable.”
John thinks this might be flattering, if he could wrap his head around it, but he can’t – Sherlock is standing near, steaming his sun-baked-clean-sand smell, like the beach after rain, an alive smell, an other smell. It’s intoxicating, and John has been studiously avoiding it, but he can’t shift away now it’s so near. Now Sherlock’s so near.
And then Sherlock ruins the probable-loveliness of his words and the definite-beauty of his presence by saying: “And by ‘improbable’ I mean ‘not yet scientifically acknowledged.’”

Summary
John is glad that the first time he sees Sherlock eat a peach is the summer after they finally stop dancing around each other. Or maybe ‘glad’ isn’t the word. More like…relieved.

Reciprocation (Part 2: As He Wants Him To Be) by patternofdefiance for consulting_smartass
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV)
27 May 2014
Tags
Summary
Sherlock's time alone turns as often to thoughts purely of John as it does to experiments and Mind Palace maintenance. Sometimes, Sherlock will catch himself thinking of spending more simple hours together, craving the quiet sounds and soothing rhythms of lives lived in sync – because they are good at this, at orbiting one another, inhabiting the same space, breathing the same air, living the same life. Sharing it.
He wonders what it would be like to extend the shared portion of their days to include the earliest parts of morning, the latest parts of night, the first and last sleepy blinks of sight.

As He Wants Him to Be by patternofdefiance for 3littleowls, sweetcupncakes

Summary
Where’s the harm? Sherlock thinks, and with that absolves himself, removes himself, and it’s not difficult to do this, to retreat, to imagine, even surrounded by the bustle of the kitchen and his family and Christmas. With practiced ease, Sherlock erases the distractions, one by one, and then replaces them - setting and sounds and people.
