“You’re attracted to me.” Sherlock threw away his cigarette butt.

“Yes,” said Greg. No point in lying, after all.

“You shouldn’t be,” said Sherlock, stuffing his hands in his pockets and walking away.

Greg watched him go, London rain just starting drizzle on them both.

Thank you for the rec!

Sherlock was slumped in his chair. He stood as Greg came in and quickly crossed the room, taking his coat in both hands and kissing the older man desperately.

“Sherlock.” Greg gently pushed him back with a hand on his shoulder.

“Please,” said Sherlock, almost trembling. “I need…”

“You need John,” he said as kindly as he could.

“But he’s married. Not here. On his honeymoon,” Sherlock wrinkled his nose in disgust.

“I’m not even going to try and replace him.” Greg watched his eyes as he fidgeted nervously.

“You couldn’t.” Sherlock didn’t mean to wound, but Greg’s heart still dipped. “Just tonight, please.”

Summary:

A few nights after John’s wedding, Greg gets a text.

This is part one in the Bittersweet series and I do like this. I’ve always thought that the history between Sherlock and Greg can’t have been easy or nice so the start of their relationship can’t be either. If that makes sense…

Thank you for the rec! And yeah, that was more or else what I thought too.

toppiest of the topjohns

beminevalentines:

I got a request (!!) for recommendations of toppy-top John fics – not just top in terms of who-sticks-what-where, but dom/dark/etc – and did a bit of a search through my bookmarks. here’s what I dug up! (disclaimers: I didn’t reread before making this list, just looked at my notes on fics I’d read to jog my memory; all blurbs in quotes come from AO3 listings; heed the tags!; a fair bit of military kink – it’s just too easy; sorrynotsorry for the prevalence of recs by janto321 aka @merindab – I can’t help it!)

  • Deflowered by Lorelei_Lee, 16k (I’m looking forward to reading the extended version of this, but this short one is the one I fell in love with first) – “Mob!AU – Boss!John bought the first night of virgin!Sherlock who works as a rentboy in Miss Adler’s brothel.”
  • Below the Belt by moonblossom, 2k – “John’s trying to get some work done, but Sherlock’s only got one thing
    on his mind. John decides to tie Sherlock to a chair and teach him a
    lesson in patience.”
  • Maybe Sherlock Should Ruin John’s Dates More Often by janto321, 1k – “Sherlock has ruined yet another of John’s dates. John is going to have to do something to punish him.“
  • Incomplete Data (or The Effect of Red Pants on One Sherlock Holmes) by janto321, 1k – “Sherlock is quite surprised to realize what red pants do to him.“ (with bonus DOG TAGS)
  • Sherlock’s Secrets by damesansmerci, 3k – “Sherlock has a rape/military fantasy wherein his big
    strong soldier holds him down and takes what he wants while Sherlock
    begs him to stop. / 5+1. 5 fantasies Sherlock had and the 1 time John agreed to play along.“
  • Affirmation by janto321, 1k – “When Sherlock comes home from the hospital he finds John moved back in and ready to claim what is his.“
  • Suffer Fools Gladly by rotaryphones, 7k – “Despite it being what he wanted, what he needed, none of this came
    easily to Sherlock. He had learned through John that it wasn’t enough
    for a partner to say or do the exact right things. Sherlock had to be
    ready to let go, willing to make himself vulnerable. That wasn’t easy to
    do. But he was getting better at it.“
  • Straight Shooter by nefariosity, 3k – “Sherlock has a military kink. John indulges him.“
  • Begging and Bound by janto321, 1k – “John ties Sherlock to the bed. Dog tags are involved. It’s just smut.“
  • Belt-Fed Cock by Vulgarweed, 4k – “Some babies are born with hair, or with teeth. Some with a caul, some with a tail. Sherlock Holmes was born with an olive drab bandana in his right pocket.
  • The Spanking by
    Tindomerelhloni, 5k – “Problem: How do you go about telling your best friend
    that your deepest, darkest desire is being bent over his knee and
    spanked to orgasm?Solution: You don’t tell him. You get him mad, really, really mad.“
  • Grab Your Gun (time to go to hell) by Ishmael, 1k – “John is not a good man. That doesn’t stop him from trying to be one. (Dark!John AU, mostly canon-compliant.)“

and a couple of outliers as well

  • Love, Sociopath Style by fantomeq, 13k – “Sherlock likes to experiment on John in his sleep. John has a few experiments of his own to conduct.“ This one’s an outlier because they’re both dark and toppy, not just John
  • Watson’s everything by Tiofrean, 24k series – This one’s an outlier because it’s a 10-part series of short pieces each focused on a specific thing of John’s: fingers, stick (no, not that one, it’s his cane), corporal, mouth, armchair, tea, jumpers, duty, behind, claim; and they’re all fucking amazing

Thank you so much! There’s a few gunplay pieces of mine too out there if the person asking wants that. Heck I know I opened a few new tabs from this list 😀

Honestly, I’ve forgotten how I found you. I also have forgotten why I followed you. I mean, you are active in fandoms that I am mostly in some way in as well, but not my main fandoms and your fandoms are something I was in some time ago or never or I’m just kind of there. Sherlock is something I am in fact kind of adamant about, but other than that. Idk. You just belong on my dash I guess.

Aw, that’s super sweet though and I’m glad you’re here and that I hope that I continue to be something good for you.

Thanks so much!

This Year in Writing (2015)

dvancecinco:

merindab:

I was tagged by @songlin to do a “this year in writing”. I feel like I didn’t do much, but we both know that’s not quite true, is it?

January: This was I think my most productive month, at least half of which was fueled by Sherlock Seattle. Ten fics this month of which I’m most pleased with Proposition (my first pegging!),  What Makes you Beautiful (stupid frothy fun) and 

5 Times Mycroft Saved Sherlock and 1 Time Sherlock Saved Him (for some Holmes Brothers feels)

February: Three fics this month: 

An Unexpected Find (with @phipiohsum475, Johncroft omegaverse), 

Someone Has a Type and 

Leave the Ghosts Behind

March: 6 fics here. A Soldier’s Luck was my first commission fic. 

War Doesn’t Stop for a Flirt (some Jack Harkness/John Watson pwp) some johncroft and wincest

April: This is where things are dropping off because I was out of work and writing to make money more then writing for fandom.  But I still got out one, 

Baker Street Bamfs which I do intend to write sequels for at some point

May: This has two fics and also the announcement that me and @hums-happily would start posting RPs. 

Confession is a sad little s3 fic, 

Rentboy in Red was a commission fic for @fangirlscout

June: Another two fics 

The Suit and the Punk, for some mycroft selfcest + john and 

Chocolate Cake and Blue-Black Wings as a harkstiel birthday present for @jazzforthecaptain

July: Eight, but I guess I had less stress this month. 

Not Strictly Business is a lovely feelsy mystrade omegaverse, 

Only Know You Love Him When You Let Him Go is angsty s3 fix-it and 

Some Kind of Home is G rated Jack Harkness feels. Some more pwp and harkstiel in there too.

August: Two again. 

Coming Home will have more added to it at some point, I don’t feel like it’s totally finished. I need to work on it again. Also the fic demanded that it be johncroft. I didn’t plan it that way.

September: Huh, another two. 

Craving, johnlock omegaverse pwp and 

Sherlock’s Notebook a unilock fic inspired by @willietheplaidjacket that I’m still super proud of and pleased with.

October: Two.  The Knight and the Dragon is a lovely bit of johncroft if I do say so myself. 

At The Ball is another bit of Harkstiel pwp.

November: Five this month 

Unconventional (my first holmescest!) and 

Take Me Back to the Start, a feelsy s3 johnlock fic. Also some mystrade in there too and johnlock pwp.

December: Five, plus I’m sitting on one that I’ll probably post in the next day or so, so I’m going to call it 6. Mostly for the Harkstiel advent that I utterly failed at. And also 

Revelations, which was another commission fic.


Well, that’s more than I thought I did. Not as much as some other years, but I really should stop feeling guilty for not writing more. 47 Fics in total is nothing to sneeze at, especially since I got in some longer ones. Now do I poke my muse and try to get to 50 before the first?

Also I’m presently sitting at 320 total fics. August 1 was my 2nd anniversary in the Sherlock fandom and 

One Starry Night crossed 25k hits.

So, nothing to be ashamed of and I have indeed been writing stuff, much to my own surprise.

Right let me tag some fine folks @hums-happily, @jaimistoryteller, @tiger-in-the-flightdeck, @eveningsoother, @phipiohsum475, @themadkatter13 and anyone else who wants to do it

You go, @merindab!!!!!  You did awesome this year and I can’t wait to see what 2K16 brings us in the way of glorious fics from you!!!

I always love all your support. thank you!
