    Summary

    “Although your vulgarities are entertaining, woman, I will have you explain one thing. I recall that when you extended your offer for me to stay here, you explicitly stated not to do anything naughty. Yet why do you talk of nothing else?”

    “You actually listened to me back then?” she giggled, before coming to some sort of epiphany.

    “Hold up! Are you telling me you’ve tried being a gentleman all this time?” she asked.

    Since she had drawn the wrong conclusion, Vegeta would set the record straight for her.

    Faster than she could follow his movements, he shot up from his seat to stand across from her. He trapped her by placing his hands on the kitchen counter behind her, her hips bumping against his inner-forearms. She drew in a sharp breath, pushing her chest out, and stared at him with her big, blue eyes.

    “I assure you, I’ve been trying no such thing,” he growled.

    Summary

    Rugby player John is starting over at a new university, with the help of friends Molly and Bill. Few people know that John is demisexual, but ballet dancer Sherlock Holmes deduces right away that he has no interest in sex unless he’s fallen in love. John finds this strange genius intriguing and would like to get to know him, but Sherlock has a self-cultivated reputation for only wanting casual sex. John has reason to believe that’s not really true, but he’s not sure he wants to risk his twice-fractured heart to find out.

    Summary

    “If you’d kindly stop knocking about in there and destroying all of my evidence, it would be most appreciated!”

    John groaned and for a moment rested his head against the side of the truck. Of course he was the only captain left on the scene, which meant he would have to be the one to deal with the arson investigator.

    Summary

    Sherlock hasn't ever really done anything the traditional way, so of course it wouldn't bother him to propose to John even though they're not even dating. And the fact that John is already on a date with someone else when he decides to do it? Tedious.

    “What are you doing?” John asks quietly, angrily.

    “I thought that was fairly obvious,” Sherlock replies calmly.

    John sighs, rubbing his left hand over his eye, “You can’t just propose to me so that I can’t date anyone and have no choice but to keep coming on cases with you.”

    “Marrying you myself is precisely the only thing I can do to stop you from marrying and leaving again."

    Summary

    Prompt: Matchmaker!Sherlock & Assistant!John. Sherlock keeps John as his assistant since he knows a few things about love/sex that Sherlock doesn't know/fully understand (Three Continents Watson) and that could lead to possible matches since Sherlock only uses chemical and natural body reactions to determine who to match-make and so on (pupils dilate, quick heartbeat, body language...). - anon

     

    The Consulting Detective and The Woman dominate the airwaves of their university radio station, doling out advice on everything from meeting the parents to sexual positions. When their ratings start to dip before the holidays, however, manager Mike thinks it's time for some fresh blood, and who better to fill in the gaps than rugby captain--and notorious flirt--John Watson?
