    A painful story that you're bookmarking so you don't read it again.

    Summary

    The mother was apparently poisoned, the son seems to have killed himself playing Russian roulette. It's a murder and a suicide. Or is it a suicide and a murder?

    At least the case is distracting John from the fact that sex with Sherlock was probably a mistake right from the start.

    John will learn to cope, one way or another.

    A story that takes John's heterosexuality seriously and shows how he and Sherlock deal with it when they become lovers. Well written and has some blindingly funny lines.

    Summary

    An account of the glorious mess they're in: Sherlock and John are tied in something bloody and filthy and worth spending two and a half thousand words contemplating, honest.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    It happens that Sherlock is an extreme sport in himself; he could come with goggles and a safety harness and it wouldn't be out of place at all. He is good value at his best, entertaining and amusing when he feels like it, able to behave with good grace and good will even, contrary to the prevailing opinion - they've spent so long together now that John understands that he sees more of Sherlock's good side than perhaps anyone else ever has, and every time Sherlock tries to be good, to be kind, it is so touching - but he is also prone to the most terrifying and bizarre behaviours, extremes of expression which John did not think possible in men who were not confined to prison, to war or to institutions.

    and

    once you find this...once you find the thing the excuse the person that lets you take the stabilisers off, that rips your safety catch off and dares you to keep going, when you find the part that lets you play every single bit of yourself, for better or for worse, whether it's taking yourself beyond pain and breath barriers, or whether it's pushing yourself to pull life back into a body that cries out to play one more game, and then another, and then another, it's not something you leave. Not ever.

    Summary

    It occurs to John one morning, as he's moving a thumb out of the microwave and into the refrigerator, that perhaps the time has come for a serious discussion about house rules.

    A mostly cute little story, bookmarked because I loved the line Sherlock kisses like he's saved up all the emotions he should feel and doesn't, just so he can pour them all into this one moment.

    Everyone gets beautiful, everyone gets commended and everyone learns that revenge is a dish best served at a formal gala.
