( MASTER LIST OF FICTION )
Please let me know if there are any broken/inaccurate links; I'll edit as soon as possible. Hope this makes things easier for all of you to find what you want! =D

Merry Christmas, everyone!

So this is turning into a yearly thing, apparently. Christmas comment!fics for all you lovely folk in fandom! I’m experimenting with the timeline this year, so this post is going up a bit later than previous years. For those who’ve been here before, do check the updated list of fandoms, and the time that prompt-taking closes. For those who haven’t, let’s go over things:

( Basic Info )

Simple enough, yes? Here are the fandoms I can write for, in alphabetical order:

( Fandoms )

And have a happy new year, everyone!

ETA: Prompt-taking is now closed.

ETA 2: Done! Thanks for playing, everyone!

Title: The First Test
Rating: PG
Pairing(s)/Character(s): John, Sherlock
Warning(s): None.
Summary: Sherlock thinks either he or the entire world has to change (and it’s not going to be him). John decides he’s going to try and change both.
Part of the Affection-verse, though this can be read as a stand-alone. Not S2-compliant.

( The First Test )

Title: Breaking Through
Rating: PG-13
Pairing(s)/Character(s): John, Sherlock
Word Count: ~1140
Warning(s): None.
Summary: Sherlock deals with his social ineptitude by verbally eviscerating anything within sight. John deals with Sherlock by making tea.
Part of the Affection-verse, though this can be read as a stand-alone. Not S2-compliant.

( Breaking Through )

Master post for this 'verse, largely because I keep writing these ficlets out of order. Thus far they're being posted in order, but I'd like to keep my options open for the future. =D

Fandom: Sherlock BBC
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Primarily John and Sherlock, with cameos from other characters. Starts out gen and eventually moves into John/Sherlock.
Ratings/Warnings: Mostly PG-13 with no warnings - so quite safe - but please check the individual fics as there may be the occasional one that doesn't follow the pattern.
Author's Notes: This series is NOT S2-compliant, as it was begun pre-S2 and the nature of the first story precludes any retrospective attempts at canon-compliance. I might see if I can later work in some elements of S2, but I certainly won't be following the plots of the episodes.

1. With Affection Thereafter
The bomb explodes. John reacts.
John, Sherlock | PG-13 | 11/08/2011

2. A Portion of Thyself
John pays a visit to his lawyer, and Sherlock finds once again that some things John decides are beyond his abilities to deduce.
John, Sherlock | PG-13 | 27/08/2011

3. Breaking Through
Sherlock deals with his social ineptitude by verbally eviscerating anything within sight. John deals with Sherlock by making tea.
John, Sherlock | PG-13 | 01/03/2012

4. The First Test
Sherlock thinks either he or the entire world has to change (and it’s not going to be him). John decides he’s going to try and change both.
John, Sherlock | PG | 21/04/2012

Title: Save the Hazelnut
Rating: PG-13
Character(s): John
Warning(s): Spoilers for S2, especially 2x03 and 2x01.
Summary: Post-Reichenbach. In which miracles take time, and there is a particularly delicious explanation for the Vatican cameos.

( Save the Hazelnut )

Title: Waiting To Be Known
Rating: R
Pairing(s): John/Sherlock
Warning(s): Implied bullying; implied suicide/suicidal ideation; minor character death; drug use; sexual violence inflicted on a child. Spoilers for S2, especially 2x03.
Summary: Written for this prompt. John Watson has been saving Sherlock's life for a very long time, even if he doesn't know it.

( Waiting To Be Known )

WARNING: There is a minor mention of suicidal thoughts here. It's mostly glossed over and not addressed in any depth, but you know - just in case.

( The Great Puzzle: Chapter Three - Part Two )

Admit it. How many of you thought the title was just riffing off the title of the third ep? >D
As always, CC is much appreciated!

Home stretch!
[And yes, another chapter divided into two. Bit unevenly split, but that was the best place to cut it so it wasn't too jarring. Curse you, LJ size limit! Curse yooooou!]

( The Great Puzzle: Chapter Three - Part One )

( The Great Puzzle: Chapter Two - Part Two )

Once again, divided into two posts because LJ's size limit can't handle the chapter in one post. Are my chapters maybe a little too long? *ponders*
Also, a shout-out and fervent thanks to the lovely folk over at

little_details, who were able to help me with - well, some little details in this chapter that eventually changed the course of the fic. For the better, I think!

( The Great Puzzle: Chapter Two - Part One )

( The Great Puzzle: Chapter One - Part Two )

CC?

Title: The Great Puzzle
Rating: Light R
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Warnings: Sherlock being Sherlock - i.e. some possibly disturbing thought processes. Minor mention of suicidal thoughts in the final part - it's mostly glossed over and not addressed in any depth, but... just in case. I don't think there's anything that specifically needs a warning - but if you think otherwise, just drop me a comment or PM to let me know, and I'll edit this ASAP.
Summary: Sherlock has never encountered a more interesting puzzle than Dr John Watson.
Author's Notes: This first chapter might initially seem to be a rehashing of the first episode, but give it a chance. You'll soon see some oddities. =D
This chapter has been divided into two parts, as it's too large for LJ to handle in one post. The link to the second part is at the bottom of the page.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Last year, I offered comment!fic in a number of fandoms as a Christmas present to all you lovely folk out there. I got some wonderful prompts and really enjoyed myself writing ficlets for them, so I’ve decided to do the same this year. For those of you who don’t know how this works, let’s go over things:

( Basic Info )

Simple enough, yes? Here are the fandoms I can write for, in alphabetical order:

( Fandoms )

Enjoy!
(And yes, feel free to share this with any of your friends you think might appreciate this. It's open to absolutely anyone, even people I don't know. =D)

ETA: Prompt-taking is now CLOSED.

ETA 2: Done! Thanks for playing, everyone. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! =D

Title: In Which John Is A Disney Princess
Rating: PG-13
Character(s): John, Sherlock
Warning(s): None.
Summary: Animals like John. They like him a lot. Lestrade is confused, John is pragmatic, and Sherlock feels like he's in a Disney movie.
Author's Notes: Remember when that cat was all over John in TGG? And then I saw this prompt - I always imagine that John is the sort of person animals just [i]like[/i]. To levels disney princesses can only dream of. The sort of person whom, if he stands still long enough, an animal WILL come up to him, even birds of prey. And then. Yeah.
I regret nothing.

( In Which John Is A Disney Princess )

Title: Concern
Rating(s): PG-13
Characters/Pairing(s): Gwen, Jack
Warning(s): Spoilers for Counting Stars, and all attendant changes etc made to canon within that ‘verse.
Summary: Gwen has a question, Jack talks philosophy, and Ianto wants his suit cleaned.
Author's Notes: Counting Stars-verse – click here for the Master List. For those who don't want to read it, all you need to know for this fic is that Jack and Ianto have a telepathic connection, and at one point in Counting Stars, the option of an improved Retcon is offered to the survivors of Torchwood One. Only Ianto and Jack are aware of this.

( Concern )

It's been a while, everyone! I had to re-write this one a couple of times before I was happy with how Gwen came out. I really wanted to stay true to the development I hope I allowed her by the end of Counting Stars. I also haven't had much time to write at all lately (and it looks like I'll be busy at least for a couple more months), so I don't know when I'll next be able to post something. Sorry, but I hope you like this in the meantime.

Given RL stuff, I really don't know if I'll be able to respond to comments either - I certainly haven't had much time for the past few things I've posted. I do read and appreciate every comment I get though, so here's a pre-emptive thank you to everyone who reviews! =D

Title: A Portion of Thyself
Rating(s): PG-13
Pairing(s)/Character(s): John, Sherlock
Summary: John pays a visit to his lawyer, and Sherlock finds once again that some things John decides are beyond his abilities to deduce.
Part of the Affection-verse, though this can be read as a stand-alone. Not S2-compliant.

( A Portion of Thyself )

Title: With Affection Thereafter
Rating(s): PG-13
Pairing(s)/Character(s): John, Sherlock, Moriarty
Warning(s): (spoilers in warnings; highlight to read or skip this warning) Murder; character death.
Summary: The bomb explodes. John reacts.
Author's Notes: Set immediately after TGG. Title and all dialogue in the fic taken from the Lasagna Oath – the modernised rewriting of the Hippocratic Oath, by Dr Louis Lasagna.
Dipping my toes into the Sherlock fandom. I'm writing a longer piece that may or may not ever see the light of day, but in the meantime, have this ficlet.
Edit: This fic has now become the first of a 'verse I'm calling the Affection-verse. Not S2-compliant, obviously.

( With Affection Thereafter )

Title: Some Blessed Hope
Rating(s): PG-13
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Jack/Ianto
Summary: Jack loves Ianto. It doesn't matter which version of Jack, or which version of Ianto. Some things are constant.
Author's Notes: Pretty much a they-were-meant-to-be fic. This was actually inspired by a comment left on another one of my fics - to quote, I am convinced that Ianto Jones from any dimension, universe, or imagination would be a) beautiful, b) intelligent, and c) loved by Jack. So this is dedicated to you,

dd0206, for inadvertently prompting this fic. =D

( Some Blessed Hope )

Title: Never Without A Reason
Rating(s): PG-13
Characters/Pairing(s): Ianto, Owen, background Jack/Ianto
Summary: Five times Ianto wanted to punch Owen but didn't, and one time he did.
Author's Notes: Entirely canon-compliant, with specific reference to the events of (in order) Cyberwoman, Small Worlds, Captain Jack Harkness, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, A Day In The Death and Exit Wounds.
Also, Areale made me do it.
