221b_recsTitle: Blue Veins
Author: lbmisscharlie
Pairing: Gen
Length: 1997
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Verse: BBC Sherlock
Author's summary:
Written for this prompt at the kinkmeme:
“If a clock could count down to the moment you meet your soul mate, would you want to know?”
Everyone has a clock, either installed by futuristic machines or they're born with one.
The numbers can’t guarantee happiness, reciprocity, or even fidelity. They’re just a fact of life. In a world where everyone hides their numbers, John Watson meets a man with bare wrists.
Reccer's comments: Soulmate AUs are very popular in Sherlock, in many different forms, and they were all over the kink meme for a while. In Blue Veins, lbmisscharlie takes the idea of the countdown clock and inserts it into A Study in Pink. What I think makes this fanfiction unique is the fact that it's open to interpretation whether Sherlock and John are in love, or are just soulmates who were always meant to find each other.
Excerpt:
John’s seen many numbers in his day, small tangles of capillaries, the formation of digits created by microscopic valves controlling the flow of deoxygenated blood. He’s even seen the instant, once, the moment when one’s clock ticks to zero. It’s said to feel like a pulse of blood through the body, like for a second your heartbeat is twice its strength.
