Title: The Reverse Side of Fascination
Fandom: Sherlock BBC
Characters/Pairings: Harry Watson, Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, pre-Sherlock/John
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 5,175
Disclaimer: This is a transformative work of the BBC’s Sherlock, which itself is a transformative work. Fun, not profit!
Warnings: Alcoholism, somewhat creepy tattoos
Notes: Originally wrote this over a year ago, got distracted by robots, didn't finish it, have now decided it's done. Gotta post it before Harry shows up in canon and it gets jossed. :P Title from this Schopenhauer quote: “Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other.” Thanks to call_me_ishmael for the beta.
Summary: Harry Watson is used to not knowing why she does things. Inviting Sherlock Holmes out to lunch is still one of her more baffling whims, but it's also one of her best.

Title: A New Kind of Communication
Fandom/Ships: BBC Sherlock, Sherlock/John
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 10,400
Disclaimer: I don't own Sherlock and this won't pay my bills.
Warnings: None
Summary: Sherlock texts, Sherlock leaves notes, Sherlock phones John, and he never really says anything.
Notes: Written for cathedralcarver  for holmestice . All the beta credit to the best beta that ever beta’d, miss_sabre . Also, this fit in one post originally but for some reason it says it's too large here. Sigh. Part one is here.
