verdant_fireTitle: Points of Divergence
Author: thistle_verse
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Length: 4135 words
Rating: Mature
Warnings: N/A
Verse: BBC
Author's 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.
Reccer's comments: This is an underappreciated gem of a post-Reichenbach fic. I reliably swoon over prose that has intense, poetic imagery and vivid emotions, and this story excels at those. It's deeply beautiful, and it captures the sharp-edged longing that comes with unrequited love.
