Summary
“John.”
John stops. He has to.
“Sherlock.”
“I have to do this, John. I cannot tell you why.”
He doesn’t have to tell John why. Moriarty is fucking why, and John is going to beat that man to a pulp if he ever gets his hands on him again.
“You don’t, Sherlock. Whatever it is, I can help you, I shot a man dead the first fucking day that we met, you know I can help you.”
He can hear the smile in Sherlock’s voice. It’s so soft. “So that was you.”
“You knew that.”
“I did.” Sherlock pauses. “It’s always been you, John.”
[a reichenbach fall fix-it, basically. featuring a lot of crying and john being very in love]

Summary
“Where do you want me?” she asks, and God, fuck, Dani hasn’t heard Jamie’s voice so low in years.
Dani's breathless already, and she doesn’t know what to say except for, “right here.” She can’t fathom not having Jamie’s face inches from hers, Jamie’s presence loud and clear and undeniable. She hopes that Jamie doesn’t need more than that, still, to understand. She hopes the years did not break them here as well.
[or: a past lovers au. the aftermath of two long lost soulmates finding each other all over again.]

“tell me,” dani whispers, her voice shattered, syllables crumbling at their edges. “tell me you feel this too.”
[a spontaneous camping trip, between two best friends.
the only issue: they're in love with each other. they have been, for years.] -

Summary
“tell me all the things you’ve never told me,” she says, rather suddenly, and it’s a sentiment formed before she can even really put the words together in her head.
dani blinks, expression held carefully between fear and curiosity, leaning in to leave a kiss which flutters against the corner of jamie’s lips.
“to distract me?”
jamie pauses.
“to save us.”[in which the world ends — and dani and jamie spend their last moments in each other's arms.]

Summary
“May the world be kind to you, Dani Clayton. May you receive the love which you have always, always deserved.”
With that, then — with a jingle of the shop bell, and another tear which slips onto the counter — the world starts moving again. The hum of traffic resumes itself outside, a pigeon coos from some distant rooftop, and Viola is gone.
[In which Viola turns up at the Leafling. To free Dani. To say goodbye.]

Summary
It’s Friday, December 1st, 2006, the first time.
She’s there when Dani arrives at the café — and there she remains when Dani exits after her pre-work Full English, sitting next to the entrance with her head down, knees drawn up to her chest and a bottle of Stella Artois in one hand at the grand hour of nine o’clock in the morning. The day-drinking isn’t the only thing that catches Dani’s eye; the total lack of appropriate clothing for the middle of Great British winter more so gives her pause. She can’t imagine a single Blondie t-shirt with an open flannel button-up and denim cut-off shorts is a terribly comfortable outfit in one-degree-Celsius weather.
So, Dani speaks up.
(Or: the one where Jamie’s just got out of prison and Dani’s too kind for her own good.)

Summary
392 days, it’s been, of cowering away from reflections for the sake of everyone but her, and Dani Clayton is tired.
She is tired of living — if you can even call it that — only to lose grip on reality more and more every day, clinging frantically to the few memories she has that aren’t lakes and chests and missing daughters.
[ — ]
June 2000. Dani wakes up paralysed.
