Summary
This can be read as a standalone, but it's backstory to "No Dictionary Sufficient in This Land of Men," and there will be future stories in that verse. Told from Harry's POV, I wanted to write this to humanize an abusive character somewhat and to round her out. In "Dictionary," I imagine the line about Clara questioning Harry's orientation came off as improbable or jarring to some readers, and so I wanted to flesh out where that comes from--not from simple data on twins, it turns out, but from the way Harry followed Amanda throughout their early lives and the impact that might have had on Harry's development. This is also picking up from part of the original kinkmeme prompt, which asked for Harry being disappointed by John's transition because he broke the mirror image.

Summary
John and Sherlock find something between them beyond, or perhaps around, words. Story elements include D/s themes and trans characters. Warning for transphobia and implied sibling abuse + very mild violence. Also, part one is John POV and part two is Sherlock POV.

Summary
I don't normally do WIP, but I wanted to get this out. This will be a multi-chapter fic in the It's Us Against the World verse, wherein John is a trans man and Sherlock is an intersex man. Sherlock and John are starting to explore a sort of informal D/s relationship.

Summary
“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”
― Roald Dahl“And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter— they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long.”
― Sylvia PlathPost-Reichenbach, Sherlock is not so jaded as to forget the magic in which he was starting to believe with John. A story of communication breakdowns, secret-keeping, and apologies.
