Pairing: John/Sherlock
Length: 26646 words
Rating: Mature
Warnings: none (see tags)
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: When Sherlock is forced to share his eyrie, he is determined to make the best of it. However, he has no intention of ever pair-mating. It's a pity his body has other ideas.
John Watson can't believe his luck when he meets Sherlock Holmes. But who would ever want a flightless Tiercel with PTSD who can't even manage a courtship flight?
Reccer's comments: Beautifully done piece of imaginative worldbuilding, this is about as au as a story can get and still be in character. I truly loved the descriptions of both avian behaviour and of flight, so very well realised here.
There is also a sequel, Fledgling.
