Summary
"She's not Essie anymore, not right now. Right now she's S. Holmes, the only consulting detective in the world and the most beautiful creature I've ever seen. I smile at her, at the ridiculousness of her sharp cheekbones and perfectly tailored coat, and she beams at me with unabashed excitement. It's something like bloodlust shining in those feline eyes of hers, but I don't mind. I've seen that look in my own eyes before; I've been to war and back again.
I lean back against the seat and watch London roll past. My hands are still, untrembling; my leg feels great. My shoulder hasn't ached in days. Beside me, Essie's foot begins to shake."
Genderswap for all characters (incl. minor), but I ship Sherlock/John whether they're male, female, or something in between.
