I love Sherlock, he thought, I’m in love with him. God. What on earth am I going to do?

Summary
"You never asked me to make him love you back. That's always one of the first things that someone asks me, you know. 'Make him fall in love.' 'Make her love me.' 'Make him return my feelings.' 'Make him want me.' Blah, blah, blah, on and on and on. But you didn't do that. Neither did he."
This is a story of seven wishes.
One wasted wish, five wishes that changed the world, and one wish that changed nothing at all.

Summary
“We going to do this properly, then?”
“Properly?” Sherlock parrots, a coy little smile touching his mouth.
John aims for aloof, licks his lips and poses, “Date, I mean. We’ve got a candle, wine…”
“If that’s all that’s required for a date, I’d say we had our first at Angelo’s years ago.”

Summary
Sherlock was suspiciously quiet and when John finally chanced a glance at him, he was completely unsurprised to see Sherlock's eyes narrowed in concentration, moving through his usual deductive capabilities. John knew the exact moment Sherlock became aware of the entire situation, as his eyebrows shot up towards his hairline and he gasped a little oh before a furiously crimson blush infused his absurd cheekbones.
"John, I," Sherlock cleared his throat and visibly steeled himself. "John, I believe we may have had sexual intercourse last night."
John sighed and rubbed his face again. "Yep, I got there myself actually."

Summary
John hoped that a holiday away from Baker Street would clear his mind of a certain infuriatingly sexy and tragically disinterested consulting detective. So far, it hasn’t gone well.
It goes even less well after the consulting detective gives him a call.

Summary
“Come here,” Sherlock said and when he did, he put his arm across John’s shoulder, and pulled him close. John let him, and after a moment, rested his head against Sherlock’s chest. Sherlock felt the familiar ache, a longing for what might have been. If only he’d been braver, more sure of John’s feelings. He dropped his arms and stepped back. It was too late. Things were as they were meant to be.
But it was autumn in Sussex, and everything was changing.

Summary
Red wine always makes him tipsier than usual and he finds himself saying, the words slurring a bit. “You know, I’ve got to ask. Do you always shoot cabbies for people you barely you know?”
John meets his gaze over the rim of his glass, and there’s something there that Sherlock can’t pin down. “Not for everyone,” he says, meaningfully, pointedly, his smile all teeth.Sherlock feels faint. He’s flirting. Is he? Sherlock has to backpedal, get out of the hole he’s dug himself into.
“You should come home with me tonight,” Oh god no, that’s the exact opposite of what he should be doing.
John’s eyes widen and he blinks at him. “Er-“
“I mean, 221B’s closer, it’s late,” he scrambles for words. “And you’ll be staying there anyway. I mean- well, I’m assuming. Ms Hudson’s already put up the bed-“ Christ, he’s not being clever and sexy at all, he’s blabbering like an idiot-

Summary
There is an oft-cited experiment discussed in classrooms and cocktail parties alike, a convenient analogy when one endeavors to make a point about not noticing the obvious until it is inevitable. Simply, if you place a frog on a hot plate, it will jump off immediately, but if you put that frog on a cool plate and turn up the heat slowly, slowly, it will simply burn.
Or: How these two idiots melt together, finally.

Summary
NOW COMPLETE!
John Watson has always thought himself to be quite basic: straight, white, cis British male, who will probably one day settle down with a nice woman his parents might have liked, and have a couple of kids. That's what men like him do, after all.
If he's occasionally looked in the mirror (or over at his eccentric flatmate Sherlock) and thought that something might be missing from that description, well... everyone has those thoughts sometimes... right?
Sherlock and John meet a new police officer who turns their lives upside down. When presented with people who live their lives loudly and authentically, will the detective and his blogger be able to look at themselves, and say the same?

Summary
When a case in the Alps turns into an impromptu holiday, Sherlock and John slowly let their guard down, relaxing with drinks, massages, and soft jumpers, finally confessing their romantic feelings for each other.
(Written for the Sherlock Challenge, January 2018: "Change" and for the photo edits I made below that I originally posted on my Tumblr. I had to write a little something for a backstory.)
