Obvious Or Greg Lestrade

by the_arc5

Lestrade isn't the reasoning machine Sherlock is, but that doesn't mean he's blind. And it's obvious to him, if nobody else, that a certain dynamic duo could use a nudge in the right direction.

Asteroidea

by etothepii

In the pocket of his trousers, next to his phone, Mycroft carries the standard-issue steel capsule meant for protecting arthropod daemons. When people ask about it, he smiles and tells them she's not fond of the light, or of people other than himself. This is a lie.

Highly Intelligent

by etothepii

"I wonder what his daemon is," Kaliope says, when they're in bed waiting to fall asleep. Her fur tickles John's bare shoulder, but not enough to make it itch. His arm doesn't ache anymore, thanks to the painkillers. "Do you think she doesn't like us?"

Home Fires

by ConsultingWriter

Hamish is sick, a glimpse of life in the Watson-Holmes house hold. Sherlock is a dragon, Hamish is half-dragon. “Now,” John said, leaning a hip against the table and fixing the brunette with a stare “What was this about ‘my son’?” “Before sunset, he’s your son,” Sherlock says plainly He doesn’t even need to be a genius to know John has rolled his eyes at that “When he sets things on fire, he’s your son; especially since I know he didn’t get that from my side of the family.” (Edit: It's finally been beta'd!)

Comforting Chains and

by ConsultingWriter

After Sherlock's death John's therapist suggests he get a hobby. He chooses knitting. "The first aisle he came upon read “Pottery” in bulky letters and he stared at it in consideration. Something that involved using his hands, he could work with that; but were would he put all the things? He didn’t think there was enough room in the flat for the pottery making tools and a bunch of vases. Besides, Sherlock would knock them all down out of bored—John flinched at the thought and moved on. Right, no pottery. It wouldn’t be fun to have something like that in the flat without having Sherlock around to smash it anyway."
