    Summary

    Almost everything was coming together in her favour, despite all those adamant to get in her way. Everything is nearly perfect.

    It is just unfortunate that Centry is, thus far, a failure. But she will persevere.

    Now it is up to resurrecting her reputation. Image is everything and Valentina Allegra de Fontaine knows exactly how to use it. If only she could make a decision on a damn lipstick.

    "Mel!" She calls out. Her assistant was quick to emerge from the other room, meeting her eyes with a smile and a nod. Valentina holds up two lipsticks stashed on the table in front of her. "Daring or Rendezvous?"

    OR

    Valentina uses Mel as a test subject for which of her lipsticks won't stain.

    Summary

    “You’re smarter than most people I’ve met, Mel…And I’ve wondered if that’s what you wanted from me — to be taught. Or if you wanted…something gentler. People think I don’t care. I do. Just… not the right way, maybe.”

    Her fingers tap against the box of fries in her hands. She bites the inside of her cheek.

    “If that’s the only kind of care I know, does it still count?”

    This is the first time Val offers herself. And Mel, as always, receives it without making it heavier than it has to be.

    OR

    After the encounter with Bob, Valentina’s facade starts to drop, and her assistant, Mel, notices.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Quietly, she asks, "When did you start talking like me?"

    Mel blinks, confused. "What do you mean?"

    Val watches her, posture straight, hand resting on her desk exactly as Val's does.

    "Don't become me, Mel." It's the most honest thing she's said in weeks.

    Mel half-smiles, but Val doesn't laugh. "I mean it," she continues. "Just don't."

    Summary

    “I’m not gay,” John said into the darkness. 
     
    Sherlock rolled over, facing away from him. The skin of his cleft slid uncomfortably against itself as he moved, the lubricant becoming tacky as it began to dry. He re-adjusted the pillow under his head. “I know.”

    Summary

    “Sherlock, do you believe that you deserved the beating John gave you?”

    He’s quiet. This question is an unsolvable riddle, every time he’s asked it.

    ~*~

    Sherlock has never known how to take care of himself — let alone anybody else. But if he wants John back in his life, he knows he’ll have to try. In the wake of Mary’s death and John’s rejection, a countryside retreat and a new friendship help Sherlock begin to grow into a better man.
