Summary
Sherlock Holmes has never had such a relationship in which his significant other treats him like John does. John treats him like he's the most precious thing in the world. Sherlock can't lose that, he can't lose him.
When a new recruit of Scotland Yard seems to take a liking to John, Sherlock does everything in his power to keep John from leaving him when his insecurities get the best of him.

Summary
After cracking a high-stakes case, Sherlock and John face the press for a victory lap. But the glare of cameras and relentless noise push Sherlock past his limits, sending him spiraling into sensory overload. For John, the moment becomes more than just damage control; it’s a stark reminder of Sherlock’s humanity—and a test of the tentative trust they've rebuilt since his return.
Something of a fix-it for John's daft "Aspergers?" comment in THOB.

Summary
“People would talk,” he tries, repurposing an old line, a shortcut to a recurring theme in their lives.
“They do little else.” John dutifully completes the circuit with a sigh. “Sherlock,” he continues haltingly, eyes falling back to his hands as he considers his words. “Would they be wrong, though, really?”

Summary
When John found out that Irene couldn’t make Sherlock come (let alone beg for it) he decided he should try his hand at it instead.
It’s safe to say Sherlock had a wildly different response to his attempt.

Summary
“I’m not scared of you,” John whispered into the crook of Sherlock’s neck, his grip tightening as Sherlock started to shudder. “Do you hear me? I’ve seen monsters, Sherlock. I’ve seen the worst things human beings can do to each other. You? You’re just my idiot friend who’s had a very bad night.”
“John... the smell... I can’t…” Sherlock’s voice was a ragged plea. He buried his face in John’s shoulder, his hands clenching into the wool of John’s jumper. He was fighting the urge to bare his teeth, fighting the hunger that roared at the proximity of John’s jugular.or
Vampires weren’t real. They were nothing more than a foolish myth - stories people told themselves to make sense of the truth they were too afraid to face: that some humans were simply monsters.
And yet… the long, pale fangs pressing into Sherlock’s lower lip told an entirely different story.

Summary
Avid didn’t want this.
He didn’t want to be a vampire. He didn’t want to prove Owen right. He didn’t want to play into Scott’s plans. Avid never would’ve asked Shelby to turn if he didn’t think it was necessary.
Apparently the town thought differently.

Or, what if, when confronted with Avid’s vampirism, the town reacts 10x worse.Series

Summary
Steve’s soulmate was an asshole. At least that’s what he’d always thought, based on the mark on his ribs. Who the hell says, ‘What the fuck are you doing here?’ as a greeting to their soulmate? An asshole, that’s who, he decided early in his life.
But in reality, things were a little more complicated than that.

Summary
Will was all out of excuses to keep avoiding Mike. He didn’t think he’d be strong enough to keep avoiding Mike either way - not with Mike calling him everyday- but this feels entirely too soon, the memories still fresh. Will feels that if he even thinks about Mike he could feel the phantom of Mike’s fingers digging into his hips, his lips pressing into Wills’ pulse, the thickness of his hair between Wills’ fingers.
The Wheeler’s front door opens on its own, and Will jumps from where he’s standing, letting out a small yelp in surprise.
or
Will can't avoid Mike forever, and they talk about what happened the day they got high together.
