Summary
He sometimes stands at the railing of bridges and wonders what it would feel like to climb up and sway on the edge. Fifty-fifty chance––let gravity and the winds choose whether he falls in the right direction.
The thing is, he doesn't really know which way he would rather fall.
*No prior knowledge of Third Star needed to understand the story.*

Summary
"You're going to regret this," Sherlock manages while John sucks on his neck, "Whatever you're doing, I'm not going to stop you, and you'll regret it." He doesn't want to be that, some guilty secret John carries about. Sherlock might not have much in the way of qualms in general, but he does have some standards.
"I'll just add it to the list then, shall I?" John's voice is rueful, bitter.

Summary
"Do you love me, Sherlock?" Jim asks as he fits himself against the longer lines of Sherlock's frame. Grabs the knot of his navy blue school tie, tugs until their mouths nearly touch. He knows the answer.
"No," a breathless murmur, "I scarcely tolerate you at all." The same, always the same. Jim tightens his grip on the tie, listens as Sherlock gasps past the restriction of oxygen. He takes that plush bottom lip, worries at it with teeth and tongue.

Summary
When Sherlock gets angry and asks why they must they suffer so, John says he doesn’t know. The universe is unkind, God is unfeeling or nonexistent and this is how you put back together the pieces.

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.”- Language:

Summary
Every second that ticks by is a reminder of the deafening quiet Sherlock has left behind. John feels his soul slip out of his fingertips, inch by inch, with every passing day.
At some point, he stops trying to hold on.

Summary
Just where exactly is the line between “to love” and “to be in love”? What difference is required between “flatmate” and “husband”? (Besides the rings, obviously.) No, the important bit is that they have each other. Thirty years, give or take, in an atypical marriage. Basically a long bit of platonic domestic fluff.

Summary
After this Sherlock cannot stop imagining possible futures that might have occurred at various points in time, small and large events acting as intersections where what actually happens and what might have happened spool away from each other and head in different directions. There is a fixed point in his mind where these variations begin, one cosmic disturbance (don’t read this one) like a city center from which all possible paths unravel, but anything after that is a possible point of divergence.

Summary
Written for this prompt. In the gambling dens of a vaguely AU London, John Watson has won and lost fortunes in a night. One evening he winds up playing with entirely the wrong crowd, the kind of people that make him feel he’ll be lucky to get out of there with his life – let alone anything else. But the announced prize is somewhat unexpected. It’s an abused slave with dark curly hair and mesmerizing blue-grey eyes.
