Fic: within the beating, blessed (aching, rising; hand in hand) (1/1)
Title: within the beating, blessed (aching, rising; hand in hand)
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Word Count: 4,269
Summary: Five times John happily indulged Sherlock's strange infatuation with his heartbeat despite his failure to comprehend the fixation, plus one time where John found he understood it rather perfectly.
(Part VIII of the Cardiophilia Sequence; Follows suddenly your heart showed me my way, the beat and beating heart, your heart in the lightning (and the thunder that follows), echoes through the caverns of a chest (the give and take) , i'd trade your fading heart (for the flailing beats in mine), and i am tired, beloved (of chafing my heart against the want of you), and all the jagged edges (of the broken heart made whole), but stands on its own.)
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot.
Author's Notes: My abiding thanks to speak_me_fair for the Britpicking, the beta-work, and the push to give this thing a more-deserving title. Likewise, my love to togoboldly for loving this fic more than makes any sense, and helping me to love it, too.
