MY HEART SHALL NOT REPROACH ME

Fandom: BBC Sherlock

Summary:

John had been his compass then; now it is John who is lost, and Sherlock tries to return that kindness in what small ways he can.

A remix of ancientreader’s “The Thing Which I Greatly Feared Is Come Upon Me.” Scenario and all dialogue by ancientreader.

Characters: Sherlock/John

Words: 2,200

Notes: A somewhat belated Holmestice treat for ancientreader, whose Holmestice sign-up request for a remix of “The Thing Which I Greatly Feared Is Come Upon Me” caught my imagination immediately. Thank you to pipmer1 for betareading!

IN TWENTY MINUTES


Fandom: BBC Sherlock

Summary: After the hug, what then?

Characters: John, Sherlock

Words: 1,900

Notes: Ages ago pipmer1 left a prompt wanting to see “what happens between Sherlock and John right after that epic hug.” That stuck in my brain, and months later I’ve ended up writing my version of it…even though I’ve otherwise been trying valiantly to delete S4 from my brain entirely. ;-)

Thank you to indybaggins for betareading! We realized we were both writing fics about the exact same canon missing moment (though very different in tone) and decided to swap betaing. It was fun! And thanks as always to arianedevere, whose transcripts are a fandom resource and treasure.

Rated T for discussions of grief, and John’s swearing.
