MORE THINGS THAN ARE DREAMT OF (a study in magic at 221b)
(series at AO3, LJ)
1. you are a paradigm ( LJ, AO3) Sometimes, only sometimes, when Sherlock is very far away and absolutely guaranteed not to return for at least three hours, John sits on the sofa and lets the tea make itself. --- In which John is (reluctantly) a wizard, Mycroft is (apparently) omniscient, and Sherlock is (surprisingly) oblivious.
2. to see you shift (LJ One| Two, AO3) “How does it work? There has to be some mechanism behind it, surely. How does it work?” --- “How does it … Magic, Sherlock, it’s magic. It doesn’t have a how, it just is. It just … works.” --- In which Sherlock is a greedy, nosey parker and John has the patience of a saint. Vignettes from the process of acclimatisation.
3. as I let you rewrite gravity (LJ One| Two, AO3) “He’s not so much a man, you know,” John says, without really meaning to. “Not so much a man as a force of nature. Like... like gravity, or... or...” -- “Like Magic,” Charlie supplies. -- “Yes, exactly. Like Magic. As inescapable as Magic.” ---- In which Sherlock is jealous, John is surprisingly oblivious, and Charlie saves the day.
