Author: oreganotea
Pairing: Gen., can be read as Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Length: 3402 words
Rating: G
Verse: Sherlock BBC, AU
Author's summary: John is still an adrenaline junkie ex-army doctor. He is also an amnesiac Dreamer God. Sherlock is still the only consulting detective in the world. He is also an Inbetweener.

In An Infinite Multiverse: On a subconscious level, Sherlock knows what John is the moment he walks into the lab. On a conscious level, it takes two unforgivably long seconds for the information to sink in.

Close Call Aside: “Sherlock, I swear to God,” says John, voice more than a little strained (Sherlock has to bite his tongue to keep himself from laughing), “if we die here, I will kill you.”

The Reaper: One day at breakfast, Sherlock eats John’s soul.

Breathing Is Boring: “He’s going to get you killed one day. You know that, don’t you?” Sally asks John as they watch Sherlock gesticulating exasperatedly at Lestrade from the back of an ambulance. “Might even do it himself.”

Beginning is the End is the Beginning: One morning, Sherlock wakes up in John’s bed – although it might as well be their bed, as these days they share more often than not – to see John already awake and watching him with a fond smile, and Sherlock knows that it’s time.

Reccer's comments: A captivating little AU mini-series where John, and Sherlock are more than they appear. This series has great prose that results in an amazingly built universe, and rich characters in few words. Despite not being a "fluffy" story, it will definitely push all your warm-feeling buttons.
