Chapters: 12/12 Fandom: Sherlock & Co. (Podcast) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Mariana Ametxazurra & Sherlock Holmes & John Watson, Mary Morstan & John Watson Characters: John Watson, Sherlock Holmes, Mariana Ametxazurra, Mary Morstan Additional Tags: POV John Watson, Hurt/Comfort, Fluff, Angst with a Happy Ending, Misunderstandings, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Post-Case: The Sign Of Four, Pining, Not Actually Unrequited Love, Confessions, Friends to Lovers, Background Case, POV Sherlock Holmes Summary:

John hadn’t realised he’d stopped in place until Sherlock called to him, three shops ahead. Blinking, the doctor shook himself and caught up, laughing at the other’s disgruntled expression and apologising. He kept up with the detective the rest of the way back to Baker Street, but his mind was still staring at the advertisement.

He knew exactly what he wanted to give Sherlock for Christmas.

-- Post Sign of Four, canon divergent but spoilers up to part 10

Following one hell of an adventurous year, and the last-minute scramble of the previous Christmas, John realises that he wants to do something extra special this year for Sherlock (and perhaps, just maybe, confess to him in the process).

A plan forms that he hopes to surprise the detective with, but between a festive-themed string of burglaries, helpful but teasing friends, and the strange mood that Sherlock seems to be increasingly stuck in, can he pull it off and give Sherlock Holmes the Christmas he truly deserves?

uhhh..Hi, I don't know if I picked the right time considering the tag seems to be so miserable right now but I have to ask....

My interest in the podcast kinda stopped few months ago and now I'm considering continuing but FOR THE HEAVENS IS JOHNLOCK NOT GOING TO BE CANON IN THIS UNIVERSE EITHER????

I just don't have that much interest in podcasts in general, I know this is an amazing adaption, great autism representation etc. So like. I haven't been following, can someone here answer me your predictions?

[birdifulhuman]

I saw your drawing requests are open. May I be self-indulgent and ask for sherlock with a little penguin plush fella maybe? :3

Love your art btw

John stole the blankets last night and Sherlock is upset, which means Mr. Quinn (The Penguin) is also cross at him.

Wrote this all last night in a rush after thinking about aroace podlock too hard - not sure how good it is but people on the discord liked it! so y'all will get it too

[Rushing sounds. At first it sounds like white noise, but there's a rhythm to it, swelling and ebbing; waves crashing onto sand. Wind whistles past the mic occasionally, while soft footsteps can be heard underneath. A quiet beach...

...Well, quiet, except for John giving one of his characteristic introductions to a mailbag episode, before starting proper.]  

JOHN: ...Okay, first question is for Sherlock, from Gammijonk - thought the 'Jonk' joke was starting to die down a bit, but apparently not! This one can be quite a, uh, heavy one, mate, so totally up to you if you want to answer or not. 

They ask: "No need to answer if you feel uncomfortable," like I said, and then the question is, "As what sexuality do you identify, and how did you come to realize?" Again, I'll just edit this out and we can start with another one if you don't want to share that kind of info with the listeners.  

SHERLOCK: No need, it's... alright. I'm in a sharing mood, I find. Not sure whether it's the calming effect of the noise from the waves or something else. 

...I, uh, consider myself to be asexual.  

JOHN: ...Uh- what- but- I mean, not that I'm disagreeing with you on your own identity and such, but I thought you told me you were gay? 

SHERLOCK: I definitely did not.  

JOHN: No, I distinctly remember, after the Gloria Scott case - I asked you if you had been in a relationship with Trevor. And you said yes!  

SHERLOCK: Correct.  

JOHN: Okay, well, so, then...?  

SHERLOCK: I- well. Let's see... I could, try to describe it another way?

JOHN: Right, right. I've actually heard of that before, now you mention it... So that's you, then?  

Within aspec identities, there is often a distinction made between sexual attraction, and romantic attraction. Sexual attraction is when you look at a person and feel like you want to have sex with them. Romantic attraction is when you look at a person and want to have a romantic relationship with them.

For most people, these two kinds of attraction seem to be intrinsically linked, but just as someone could conceivably have a romantic relationship without sex, or two people can have sex without being in a romantic relationship, so too is it possible to feel one kind of attraction, but not the other.  

SHERLOCK: Ah, no. The distinction feels meaningless when applied to myself. 

But, I mentioned it, because I feel it illustrates something of the complicated semantics when it comes to identity, sexuality and romance.  

To get back to the original question for a moment as to how I realized; When I was very young, I wasn't thinking about attraction at all. Then, as a young teenager, my sexuality felt noteworthy only in that it seemed to make me worthy of praise, a rarity: other boys were constantly doing stupid things, willing to do anything to impress a girl-  

JOHN: -While you were only doing stupid things for the love of the game?  

SHERLOCK: Hah. Quite. Well, mostly in order to follow my hyperfixations wherever they lead me, but I won't deny that as a teenager I might not have always been capable of making the brightest decisions. 

In any case, as I got older, I began to realise that my lack of attraction was not, in fact, a sign that I was simply better than the other boys, but something that required a different explanation. So, I did what I do best, and I began to... experiment.  

During that time, I eventually entered into a relationship with Trevor Scott. And those relationships would lead me to eventually learn the terms asexuality and aromanticism, in fact. Looking back, I still didn't feel romantic attraction for Trevor or others then, either. But a romance certainly was the way I and him viewed it at the time. And I certainly did love him.  

JOHN: Right, that makes sense.  

SHERLOCK: So, you see, that's where your confusion stemmed from.

Anyways, now that I had a name for my experiences, after that there followed a brief and unfortunate period in which I felt like I had to figure out whether my asexuality originated in one of my neurodivergences, or if those were two unrelated ways in which I deviated from the societal norm.

Thankfully I quickly came to the conclusion that that would be a fruitless endeavour, like trying to prove a negative. There is only one version of me, and he is asexual, and he is autistic. Whether or not those two facts are related, is frankly irrelevant.  

...That answers the question, I believe?  

JOHN: It definitely does. Wow, mate. That was a lot of talking, for one of these! Man. Feels difficult to follow up with some question about what's our favourite, finger, or something... That was just an example, they, they didn't actually ask that.  

...Do you... want a hug?  

SHERLOCK: Uhm, sure? Yes. I could go for one. Any particular reason why?  

JOHN: Not really - just felt like giving you one.  

[Fabric rustles. It's quiet for a long moment, only wind and waves.]  

SHERLOCK: ... If we count the thumb as a finger, obviously that's my favourite.  

JOHN: Obviously?

Sherlock & co? I hardly know her!

[glitterymumfriend]

Sometimes, John felt as though he was only a vague sketch of a person. He didn’t know how else to explain it, and when he’d muttered as much to his mum one evening, pain from his leg and exhaustion from his soul letting his inner thoughts out, she’d looked at him in absolute confusion, before telling him to “get some sleep, love, I’m sure it’ll all be better in the morning.” It wasn’t, but he didn’t bring it up to her again. -- Inspired by an absolutely stunning @abstractfrog on tumblr, following John's progression and his state of completion over the years. Can be read as platonic or romantic, though I'd lean more towards the latter as a relationship/QPR.

May as well start posting the other fics I've written for this fandom here, following the Flashbang event entry! Starting out with my first entry for Sherlock & Co!

[chaos-man64]
