I have this fic in my bookmarks for quite a while already, waiting to be read. (Like so many others... 😬)

Otherwise I would have bookmarked it after this rec. 👌🏻

JOHNLOCK FIC REC/ MUST READ!!!

last year (2022, not that long ago) i read this absolute genius fic by @totallysilvergirl and it is long overdue to recommend this beauty out to my fellow johnlockers!

Drawn to Stars by Silvergirl

Explicit, Words: 109.272, Chapters: 60/60

Additional Tags (selection): Angst with a Happy Ending, Sherlock's Italian adventure, Jealous John, Mutual Pining, mutual misunderstandings, finally they talk about the Fall, First Time, First Kiss, can requited love last?, TFP never happened, Fanart, Multiple Pov, Seriously a REALLY happy Johnlock ending, Idiots in Love, Roberto Zanardi (OMC)

SUMMARY:

“Romantic entanglement, while fulfilling for other people—”

“—would complete you as a human being.”

After the Culverton Smith case Sherlock is clean, working, and looking for a romantic partner—since John has told him that’s what he needs. Shame John didn’t mention he was interested in that role himself, before Sherlock went off to Rome with a gorgeous Italian copper to try to fall in love and become a complete human being.

---

it is an absolute masterpiece. it got everything: angst, fluff, deep talks, intimacy, communication, jealousy, art talk (yes hello i love that okay?), (love) letters, writer john, beautiful description of the surroundings, fanart... do i need to keep on?

it captured me from the first chapter, i cried, i laughed - i felt it all for my two favorite bois. it broke my heart into a million pieces only to pick them all up and put them back together and cover it with a fluffy & healing layer of magic. basically binge-read this. yes it is long, and i've honestly been hesitant to read it because of its length but let me tell you it is 100% worth it and in the end it was over in no time (too soon!)

you already read Drawn to Stars?

-> check out all the lovely sequels!

Winter Light by Silvergirl

Explicit, Words: 7.742 , Chapters: 21/21

SUMMARY:

This is a hermetic universe, which for a few minutes a day has only two inhabitants. They don't even need names.

They wouldn't want to live always in such isolation, but in the winter light, when time cracks open, there are always—only—two of them.

---

winter fluff! i repeat! winter! fluff! my heart is happy remembering this :)

Teach Your Children Well by Silvergirl

Explicit, Words: 12.662, Chapters: 4/4

Additional Tags (selection): Angst with a Happy Ending, mutual misunderstandings, Old unhappy far-off things will bite you in the butt, Established Relationship, can requited love last?, POV John, A grown-up wedding

SUMMARY:

John decides to send Rosie to the local school a year early. Sherlock assumes he doesn’t want her becoming solitary, hyper-intellectual, hyper-focused—in other words, like Sherlock. It doesn’t help that Rosie’s prospective teacher is a dead ringer for Nicole Kidman, and is making overtures to John by text. But both fathers are wide of the mark: well, there’s always something, right?

---

silly bois being equally dumb but good at parenting/relationships in their very own way. Silver's version of Rosie is a kid you will admire for both: her intelligence and capability of love. (what can i say she is her fathers' daughter!)

◈⬖⬖⬖⬖⬖◈⬗⬗⬗⬗⬗◈⬖⬖⬖⬖⬖◈

The Nearer Your Destination by Silvergirl

Explicit, Words: 18.949, Chapters:6/6

Additional Tags (selection): Established Relationship, Wedding, Honeymoon, POV Sherlock, can requited love last?, Parentlock, Jealousy, No plot beyond sex holiday and personal growth, and lots of talking

SUMMARY:

After a December wedding, Sherlock takes John to Venice for a February honeymoon. It's absolutely perfect, up until the moment he hears John growl, "What the hell is Zanardi doing here?"

---

a wedding told as a memory, and a honeymoon in italy. who wants more? oh, and they TALK! their conversations always have at least one quote in them you could live by!

The Ever Circling Years by Silvergirl

Mature, Words: 15.735, Chapters: 29/29

Additional Tags: Rotating POV, Mostly Fluff

SUMMARY:

Snippets from different Decembers in the Drawn to Stars universe. (They'll make sense on their own, though.) Each chapter ends with Miss Davis's prompt for the day.

---

decembers from 2013 all the way to 2045 (not each but a bunch)! there is a lot of fluff, lots of Rosie content, and - as so often - very amazing fanart!

◈⬖⬖⬖⬖⬖◈⬗⬗⬗⬗⬗◈⬖⬖⬖⬖⬖◈

dear @totallysilvergirl i love this universe with my whole heart. your writing style is beautiful, the plots amazing, the characters complex and lovable. thank you for writing this! you would have at least thrice as many kudos if ao3 let us give more, and girl do you deserve them!

*throws badly cut out paper hearts*

tagging some people so this gets spread around (ik lots of you probably already know this universe but... i can't think of a but)

STEPH!!! hi!!!!

*even more hugs because we all deserve more hugs!*

sooo you seemed interested in my babbling and my book recs so here i am 🙃🐢 hope you don't mind...

i just finished reading "another day" which is basically "every day" by david levithan but from the GIRL's view! i swear this author just keeps stealing my heart-

i cried AGAIN at the ending oh GAWSH THE FEEEEELS HOLY CRAPPIDY POOH!!

it's sooo interesting and fascinating and the writing style 😩 *chef's kiss* if i could i would marry it seriously- i read this one on my kindle and i highlighted every second paragraph i feel like xD

Rhiannon falls so hard for A and you never realize until you read another day!!! it's so cool... and A suddenly realizes how much they are missing from having to switch bodies (tho there are advantages of course)

(i'm suddenly thinking of all these people that follow you and are super confused what this weird turtle is talking about... lemme throw in an apology abou that - sorry turtles!)

anygays it was awesome (apparently i have read it but i had no memory if it lmao) and i discovered there is a THIRD BOOK WHICH CONTINUES THEIR STORY!!!!

gaaaahhhh i'm so excited for it!!!

i'll decide if i will write a johnlock AU after reading that book (it's called "some day") but it would be a fun project!!! even though i am not sure how to write this in my own style and ig it would be giant but i am so hooked omg!

PS: i probably just should have reblogged one of the other posts... oops. sorry about the inconvenience!

PPS: it's 2:45am where i live and i am like staaarving and it takes SO MUCH willpower to not just start the next (and last 😭) book... (okay i already got a sneak peek but still!!) yk when you're just so entranced by a book/story/universe you wanna keep reading forever but also can't wait to get to the end?? my gosh readers are poor creatures..

PPPS: omg i am so sorry this got so long!!! i'll stop now! hope you're okay/doing better! you are awesome!

all the love and much more (flowers? chocolate?)

-turtely 🐢

(following up on this post)

HI TURTELY!!

Listen, I love when all of y'all come here to ramble and be excited! It makes me very happy to know when Lovelies are happy, and it's comforting to know other people have hyperfixations like me, y'know?? I think it's amazing!

Wow, that book series sounds SO amazing!! I hope you write an AU for it, I think it will be awesome!!!!

And don't apologize, I usually miss reblogs until it comes back through my queue, so it would have been another month LOL. Sending another ask is fine HAHAH!

AND GO TO BED!!!! You're so silly!

And I'm doing okay, just very tired and very stressed, and looking forward to the long weekend coming up in a few weeks, since I booked a day off and we have Monday as a stat day, LOL.

Thank you so much for sending me this ask, it always makes me smile :) AND THANK YOU FOR THE HUGS!! I am so starved for affection and human touch, LOL.

[safedistancefrombeingsmart]

yay! an ask game wherd i can LEGALLY be nosy! 38 & 44?

I knew I could count on you to be nosy! 😚

38: My childhood career choice Oh, that changed like weekly?! But the usual stuff, I guess: a doctor, a lawyer, an archaeologist, a forensic pathologist/ coroner 😇 ... weirdly enough I never wanted to be veterinarian. 🤔 But I think the doctor/ pathologist thing kind of never left me, seeing how I am so interested in medical realism in the fics that I read.

44: A random fact about anything The village I live in recently spent €40.000 on an ugly piece of art. It's pink! 🫣

Thanks a lot for that ask, topsynosy-turtely!

Every answered ask will include a gif!

(I was soooo tempted to insert that gif. xD )

Ask me more questions!

[safedistancefrombeingsmart]

What started more as a joke than anything else after @topsyturvy-turtely​ posted her Day 15 of the OTP challenge, has finally become a real thing. 🤩🤩🤩

In the otp story linked above Sherlock comes home injured and needs stitches. Lucky for him, his flatmate is a doctor. Even better, said doctor actually teaches Sherlock how to do sutures. And what’s the first thing that came to my mind after reading it? Let Sherlock apply his newly learned knowledge on John!! (because I am such a sucker for John whump... which I think I may have mentioned a few times by now). I think my exact words were like: “ooh, now let Sherlock stitch up John!!!” Weirdly enough, turtely kind of agreed to write it. 😬

Unsurprisingly, nothing happened for the next few months. 😆 I kept mentioning the story every now and then. Imagine my delight when turtely finally said that she will start writing it! (that is in no way meant as criticism, I have promised gifsets months ago and haven’t even started)

And when she posted it last night (I stayed up extra long), I couldn’t have been happier. turtely’s grumpy and injured John is fantastic and Sherlock is an angel!

Give it a read if you like John whump. If you don’t, read it anyway- because it’s a cute story (despite the topic, but it’s not gory). Loved reading every single word.

Thx @topsyturvy-turtely​ for somehow figuring out what exactly I wanted to read and actually writing it. Now I may have to come up with something to accompany it. ^^

Let Me Fix You (Johnlock OS)

for the one and only @safedistancefrombeingsmart <3

“Fuck! I mean- shite! Oh, bloody hell!” John watched as that asshole run away, clutching the knife wound he had left on him. “Jesus Christ. I hate you.”

“John! Why are you- Did you get hurt?”, Sherlock came running towards him.

“No, I am cursing because it is fucking funny. Of course, I am hurt, you bloody-“, John bit his tongue. “He barely missed my scar.”, he added, more quietly.

There was actual concern shining in Sherlock’s eyes. “How bad is it? Let me loo-“

“I am fine!”, John turned his body away in a quick movement. It hurt. He gritted his teeth and pushed air out through them. It made a funny noise, almost like a whistle. “Let’s just get home.” John already walked back out on the brighter lit main street.

“Don’t you think we should call a doctor-“

“I am a fucking doctor!”

“But John-“

“I am goddamn fine fucking enough, okay. Now just do your-”, John let go of his wound to wave vaguely with his good arm in the air. “Thing and get us a bloody cab.” John talked- yelled too loudly, too aggressively. But he didn’t care right now. He was pretty sure he wasn’t even cut that badly. But he was pissed as hell and the asshole stabbing him got away and there was no one else around to yell at. So his flatmate would just have to endure it. John had gone through worse with him.

When Sherlock stared a bit too long at him, John grunted. Immediately Sherlock moved to get them a cab.
