Forget Me Not by Calais Reno

John gives up memories in order to save Sherlock.

Now the blue eye is focused on him, the brown one wandering. “Look at me, John. What happens in the mind is more than reason. You will not save him with cold, hard facts. Saving him will require your imagination.” For just a second, both eyes line up. The world stills around him. He’s never felt so focused.

Thank you for reading and reblogging!

Title: The Devil’s Blaze

Rating: E (eventually)

Relationship: Eventual Sherlock/John

Genre: Rodeo!lock AU! Casefic/Action/Adventure/Romance

Synopsis: Sherlock Holmes, the world’s only Consulting Equestrian Expert, is the individual called when horse owners are out of their depth.  At the behest of his elder brother, Sherlock travels to Amarillo, Texas, to investigate why a valuable bucking stallion has seemingly gone berserk for no reason and killed his trainer.  The local authorities suspect the owner fraud and possible animal abuse, but Mycroft sees parallels to an unsolved case from the 1980s wherein a racehorse killed a stableman. Complicating the situation is John Watson: bronco rider, rodeo veterinarian and one of case’s primary suspects…

Chapter 29 is UP!

Word count: 54,652 Chapters: 50/50 Rating: Mature Warnings: Choose Not to Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Sherlock Holmes/OFC Additional Tags: post series three, Drug Use, Recovery, Travel, Postcards, parenting, Childbirth, Surgery, pondering, Mental Illness, Exhaustion, chatty Sherlock, Lonely Sherlock, POV First Person, Psychology, Parentlock, A baby - Freeform, Albion Summary:

This story starts about a year after the end of series three. John and Sherlock are emotionally and mentally exhausted by their lives. John runs away, but it is likely he returns. We find out about two thirds into the story. Sherlock is telling the story, so it is likely he glosses over some things and concentrates needlessly on others. He has priorites. And a little baby. And a lot to look forward to, despite what he says.

======

Note: This story was deleted and re-uploaded.

Rec: A beautifully poignant and emotionally in-touch post-series 3 kidfic in which the baby in question is Sherlock’s. I was utterly drawn into Sherlock’s discovery of the font of love he carries deep within him, and just as entranced by his baby as he was. John is an intrinsic part of the story even in absentia, and when he returns it’s to ramp up the feels to the point of overflowing, all without veering off into camp, mush, or banality. There is a wistful and even sad cant to the banter and quips at times that keeps the characters grounded, and the straightforward yet well-informed prose makes this an absolute pleasure to read.

“Game” for @sherlockchallenge

SUMMARY: After a deadly plague kills most of the world's population, the remaining survivors split into two groups - one led by a benevolent elder and the other by a malevolent being - to face each other in a final battle between good and evil.

Five Fics Friday: April 26/24

Happy Friday everyone!!!! Hopefully we can start off the weekend right with these fantastic fics!! Hope y'all enjoy!!

RECENT MFLs

Hyperballad by PlantsAreNeat (G, 893 w., 1 Ch. || Angst, Feels, Drugs, POV Sherlock) – Sherlock has bought cocaine after his doubts and fears about his and John's new relationship prey on his mind. Not exactly a danger night, but not not one either.

Smoke by lifeonmars (T, 4,827 w., 1 Ch. || Marijuana, Recreational Drug Use, Fluff, Humour, Rock and Roll) – Sometimes time and space collide to show you something you've been missing. Sherlock's pipe helps.

A Thing With Peas by khorazir (M, 25,508+ w., 2/3 Ch. || Post-S3/Post-TLD/TFP Doesn't Exist, Fluff and Angst, Communication, Demisexual Sherlock, Asexuality, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Pining, Idiots in Love, Friends to Lovers, Developing Relationship, Implied / Referenced Drug Use, Parentlock, First Kiss) – Sherlock does the laundry. John cooks a thing with peas. They talk. Finally.

There I Saw You, Night by esplanade (T, 54,073 w., 12 Ch. || Writer AU || Poet Sherlock, Writer John, True Love, Sherlock's A Mess, Conversations, John's Family) – "It wasn't as if he had stopped writing entirely. Quite the opposite, in fact. It was just that most of what he wrote ended up thrown into the fireplace at home. What was the sense in keeping something that was sub-par?"

RECENTLY BOOKMARKED LOKIUS FIC

like a flood spills away as a world stains by RunnyYolk (T, 34,055 w., 4 Ch. || LOKI SERIES || S0103 Divergence, Alternating POV, Developing Friendship, Developing Relationship, Mutual Pining, Denial of Feelings, Feelings Realization, Trust Issues, Angst, Introspection, Slow Burn, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Existential Angst, Flashbacks, Recovered Memories, Psychological Torture/Abuse, Touch-Starvation, Affection, Tenderness, Hand Holding, Emotional Friendship, Hair Pulling, Touching, Softness) – Loki groans and his elbows slide forward as he slumps over the side of the desk. "Do not tell me you left all the signature fields blank again." "It makes it easier when I check." "It adds a ridiculous amount of time! Do you actually enjoy this part, is that it? Are you a masochist?" Mobius smirks, shaking his head, and stands up. "Just go to bed, scamp." Part 3 of where the edge began

SH: Oh, for God's sake, make up your mind! Who needs me this time?

Chapters: ¼ Fandom: Sherlock (TV) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Mycroft Holmes, Harry Watson (mentioned), Sherlock Holmes’ Parents, Holmes Family - Character, Sebastian Wilkes Additional Tags: Fake/Pretend Relationship, accidental fake dating, Mistaken for Being in a Relationship, Oblivious Sherlock, Oblivious John, Friends to Lovers, Fluff, Christmas fic, holiday fluff, The tropes all the tropes, Sherlock’s parents aren’t nice, AU, Unilock, they’re just done with Uni but still Unilock, different first meeting, various sex acts between consenting adults, Alcohol, mention of past drug use, mention of alcoholism, Christmas fake dating romcom, Seriously Sherlock’s parents are the worst Summary:

Sherlock hates spending Christmas with his snobby parents. John has nowhere to go over the holidays. The heat in 221B is broken and their fridge is empty. Plus, Sherlock’s parents will hate John. So of course Sherlock takes John along. It’s not his fault that his parents assume John’s his boyfriend. Of course John is perfect and all, but Sherlock doesn’t do romance. So what harm can there be in pretending, if it makes his parents this mad?

Thank you darling wife @nuttersinc for the plot bunny, and thank you superstar @jrow for the beta.

This is my Christmas fic in April, people. It’s completely written, I’m posting the chapters as they come out of beta.

Tags under the cut as always, please let me know if you want to be tagged or untagged.

A Self-rec? On my Tumblr?

You know what - Yeah.

The very first fic I ever wrote went up on April 24th, 2014. It's BBC Sherlock, like everything I write, and I'm actually pretty fucking proud of it. It holds up, as an example of its time and as a character study.

So, maybe folks would want to go read it! Here's a link.

'Domestic Life, Observed: Relax' - by PlantsAreNeat

@weeesi thank you so much for this wonderful rec! I'm honored to be mentioned in such esteemed company!

WEEESI READS

aka fic rec series where I scream "you need to read this!" into the void

Indefinite Lines by arwamachine

I know I'm late on this one and I can only apologise to myself for that really. Compelling casefic, cinematic writing, interesting narrative structure, the cutest Rosie incarnation this side of s4, and plenty - PLENTY - of angst and comfort. Incredible character voices, including one of the best Sherlocks I've ever read. Head the tags re: whump though, because hoo boy. @arwamachine is responsible for creating a term that I now think about once a day which I will refer to here as m*** s****** for fear of spoilers. Don't miss Bonus Lines, which is a collection of incredible deleted/bonus scenes that accompanies the fic.

2. Thankless (a 5 + 1) by Silvergirl

Do you love Lestrade? Do you love @totallysilvergirl? Lucky for you, I already knew your answer to both of those questions was OF COURSE YES, WHY DO YOU ASK. As it says on the tin, a 5 + 1 wherein we revisit key moments throughout the series where Lestrade helps Sherlock until, finally, it finally sinks in (hopefully before it's too late). Gorgeous, lush, emotionally resonant writing across the board. I adore Silver's Lestrade (and pretty much everything Silver writes, honestly, including the epic, fantastically written Drawn to Stars and the heartachy, beautifully written A Case of You) and I'm 100% positive you will too.

3. Inscrutable to the Last by DiscordantWords

I love a super unique fic idea and @discordantwords always seems to have an endless supply. How they do it, I would love to know. This fic. THIS FIC. I don't want to give any spoilers but the inherent premise is just sooooo clever. Precise and devastating writing, excellent plotting, with spot-on character details and dialogue (as usual). You should also read their heartbreaking (and heart-healing) s4 fix-it (Never) Turn Your Back to the Sea after you give this one a go!
