Pairing: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

Chapter: 1/?

Summary: When John and Sherlock have to investigate a gay dating event over the weekend, Sherlock finds the challenge quite exciting. John isn't so sure they're going to be able to play stranger for an entire weekend, especially considering they've been married for ten years.

Excerpt: 

Sherlock's feet brush his under the table, "Come on, John, it's going to be fun."

"Is it really?" John asks, looking back up and finding Sherlock smiling widely at him. "Ok, what is it?"

"This is an event where you're supposed to meet other people, John," Sherlock says. "We can't go as a married couple."

John stares at him, "You mean we're going as strangers?"

Sherlock nods, "That's exactly what I mean."

John laughs softly, "Well, that's a challenge."

Sherlock frowns, "A challenge? Why?"

"Sherlock, love, we've been married for ten years now, playing strangers isn't going to be easy," John smiles. Sherlock leans back against his own chair, not moving his feet away and proving John's point right there. "What I mean is that we have habits now, we look at each other in certain ways, we are used to being together. Spending an entire weekend without being able to be ourselves is going to be a challenge, that's all."

Sherlock stares at him for a long moment, "I can do it."

John can't help but laugh again. He should have known Sherlock would take it like this. "If you say so," he breathes out slowly, still smiling.

"You don't think I can?" Sherlock asks.

"I think you'll have a hard time keeping your hands to yourself, that's all."

Sherlock stands up, walking around the table and stopping in front of him. John glances up at him, watching as Sherlock leans down to whisper against his lips, "Challenge accepted, then."

Thank you to @astudyinsnoggy for being an awesome beta as usual!

Of Challenges, Seduction and Love at First Sight

Chapter 2 is posted!

Excerpt: 

"So very romantic, my husband," Sherlock smiles, but John knows he silently agreeing to his idea.

"You knew that when you chose to marry me," John points out. "You deduced I'm a romantic years ago, actually."

"I did," Sherlock says, still smiling. "And yet, you’ve never written me any poems."

"You hate my poems," John protests.

"I do not," Sherlock replies, shaking his head. "I hated the ones you wrote to those boring women, that's all."

John grins at him, "You were jealous." Sherlock shrugs, not denying it, and John kisses him again. "I'll write you a poem. Tonight even."

"Really?" Sherlock asks, sounding way too happy about it, and John promises himself to dig up all the poems he wrote about him but never dared to show him.

"Really," he replies, and with another laugh, he seals their lips again

Words: 1598

Rating: M

Summary: “In some universe,” Even whispers, lips soft against Isak’s neck, “you are walking back home and I’m on your path, Isak.”

Author note: Here I am with another skam fic! I just can’t get enough of these two, and I really love this concept of alternate universe, so here it is. Enjoy :)

Thank you to @johnwatso for betaing this fic for me :)

[beenchantd]

I just wanted to say that I really loved your fics "Room With a View" and "The Pool." Since s4, I've relied on fanfics and yours are among the best.

Thank you so much, I’m happy my fics are helping to cope with whatever this series was….

[beenchantd]

And if it begins anywhere, it begins here

Parallel universes   /   61/63    /    Post s4

When Sherlock finds a letter in his bedroom, he doesn’t expect to read the words of another version of himself from a parallel universe.

What he expects even less is to read Sherlock Watson-Holmes at the bottom of the letter.

thanks @lizlemo for reading over this story!!
