Summary
A series on minor vandalism events shouldn't be enough to interest Sherlock Holmes - different neighbourhoods and clearly unrelated.
Or so John thought.
When events take a hateful turn, Sherlock and his Boswell become the center of one of the most sickening hate crimes to take place in London, in more ways than one.

Summary
John and Sherlock are professional tennis players and it’s Wimbledon. One is a broken almost was at the end of his career, the other an arrogant rising star tipped for greatness. It should have been a straightforward tournament. It really should have been. How were they to know that a chance encounter would change everything?

Summary
They stood face to face in the middle of a clearing. The dim light of the moon barely allowed Sherlock to see the glassy terror in John’s eyes and the sweat that glistened off his forehead. His nose was bleeding again, blood dripping in a slow stream from his right nostril.
They were both gasping for air, John’s eyes locked on Sherlock’s. There was no recognition there, just wild animal fear.
Time stood still for an eternal few seconds, and Sherlock took a shaky breath. “John—”
Spell broken, John spun and bolted back into the woods.
Still heaving for air, Sherlock took off after him.

Summary
When Sherlock wakes the morning after Lestrade & Molly's wedding reception, hangover isn't the only thing he has to deal with. He's in bed with John and he doesn't mind it. But how is that possible? What happened to him? Whatever it is, he likes it. Realising he wants John in every way, Sherlock suggests starting a relationship, and though John's amenable to give it a try, he insists on taking things slow, refraining from physical intimacy until they both are sure of their feelings.
This story follows their bumpy ride, the ups and downs, the inside battles, exploring their deepest fears and desires before becoming a real couple. Slow burn with lots of angst and some lighter, fluffy scenes to ease the tension.
