Summary:

John’s breath shook the collar of Sherlock’s shirt, breath which was pleasantly warm and bathed the skin of Sherlock’s neck and collarbone in a tantalizing way that Sherlock wasn’t sure if he wished to analyze at the moment, yet was doing anyway, because how couldn’t he? It incited a slight tremble in his skin at first, the slightest pricking sensation as his breath shuddered to a stop in his throat at the sudden and unexpected intimacy of it. John’s breath, John’s, brushing against him and Sherlock letting it remain so close as if it belonged there, no more alien to his own body than the clothes he wore. Because it was John’s.

Summary:

Sherlock and John have never needed to question the nature of their friendship, not until John falls asleep on Sherlock's shoulder one night. Sherlock doesn't brush him off. He doesn't want to brush him off. Much the opposite. He would be perfectly content if John were to remain there forever. This realization alters everything.

John had gone on two dates since they became partners. The first case occurred nineteen days in, and the second ten days after that. Only in the first instance did Sherlock have to suffer a night alone, the second date proving so thoroughly incompatible that John returned early, thank God. In both cases, Sherlock grabbed his secret cigarette stash and ducked his head out of his bedroom window into cool, night breeze so that his room wouldn’t become impregnated with the scent of smoke, yet the cigarette remained dangling between his lips, unlit. He’d scrapped at the lighter with a jerky thumb, triggering a flame only to put it out in the next instant, and on and on he went, imagining John’s disappointed expression and head shake if he were to catch Sherlock in this position, as well as the questions.

Why now, Sherlock? Is it because you’re alone? Because I’m on a date? You said you were fine with me dating. Are you not anymore? Was it a lie from the beginning, a concession to get me to agree to this partnership?

The first time, Sherlock had yanked the cigarette out of his mouth and thrown it on the floor, slapping on two nicotine patches, instead, before grabbing his violin and fleeing into a vehement rendition of Mozart’s Requiem. He refused to consider the implications of his subconscious choice of music.

The first chapter of my Sherlock fic is up! Here

Title: Awakenings
Relationship: Johnlock (aroace Sherlock)
Summary: Sherlock and John have never needed to question the nature of their friendship, not until John falls asleep on Sherlock's shoulder one night. Sherlock doesn't brush him off.

I'm 25,000 words into my Sherlock fanfic. No idea how long it's going to be. I don't exactly have a plan, just loose ideas about where to go. And I have to come up with a characterization for Harry, who I hadn't thought of that much before now.

I was listening to The Three Patch Podcast last night and they were mentioning their favorite fanon, and I hadn't heard of any of it. I'm really very new to being in the Sherlock fandom other than reading a bunch of Johnlock fics and some meta years ago. It's not until now that I'm joining communities and actually writing my own Sherlock fic, so I'm not familiar with any fanon. On one hand, I feel like I've missed out on a lot of fun, but on the other hand, I also don't have any preconceptions and don't feel hampered with having to represent things a certain way just because a lot of people like it like that. Besides, I write ace fic, so I'm already going against the grain. I feel kinda awkward in SW fandom because I don't headcanon Hux as being a cat person, a fanon that's so universal that it's practically canon. So I guess it's a good thing to not know much fanon right now.
