Disguise -- MASTER POST
title: Disguise
author: kaalee
pairing: John Watson/Sherlock Holmes, BBC verse
rating: nc17
word count: ~55k
summary: Sherlock's disguises are little more than a nuisance to John until one day he walks into the kitchen dressed as someone from John's past, someone John had tried desperately to forget.
prompt: Written for this prompt on sherlockbbc_fic: Sherlock is amazing at disguising. John knows this; he's seen him in countless disguises and if Sherlock really tries he can make himself look completely unlike himself. Then one day Sherlock wears a disguise John hasn't seen on him before, and John recognises him. Recognises him as the first man he ever slept with, in a night club, who afterwards had said he had just needed a diversion to stop some other guy noticing him. Then left without looking back. The whole incident totally fucked up John's head for weeks, broke up his relationship, and almost got him kicked out of med school for not focusing/missing assignments/failing tests because all he could think about was what an idiot he'd been. [originally posted anonymously, I'm finally de-anoning.]
author's notes: Many thanks to my beta readers incapricious and tailoredshirt, and to augmentedme for advice on medical accuracy, and to various members of my flist for all of the cheerleading and enthusiasm as this story took form. I'd also like to thank those on tumblr who posted links and tumbled about it at various times. ♥
extra thanks: I have to thank two people in particular: incapricious, who has been with me, quite literally, from day one of this story. In fact, she was sitting across the living room from me as I wrote the very first scene. JC, thank you for all of your support, the discussions in IM, and the belief that I could actually do this. ♥ As well, to sisterzurda, an absolutely glorious artist and wonderful person who has done some gorgeous art to illustrate the story. I can't believe my luck to have such beautiful work to go along with this. See her work here and here [or go look at it on DeviantArt in her gallery here]
