When John Watson woke up from his nap, having not slept properly in over three days, he immediately called out for Sherlock. The house was eerily silent aside from the pain pelting the windows. He sighed to himself and sat up, rubbing his head. He got out of the bed and padded into the living room, looking around for Sherlock. He wasn't sure why he ( Read more... )

"John, John wake up! I've gotten a break in the case!" Dr. John Watson opened his eyes, wincing in the dark and vaguely making out the shape of his best friend standing by the bed.
"Sherlock, please, five more minutes. I'm sure it can wait until I've actually slept." He sighed and closed his eyes
"John, you don't understand!" Sherlock's voice ( Read more... )

Missy sobbed quietly in her car as she sat in the parking lot of the airport. She couldn't believe how much her life had broken all around her. She'd lost her children, her husband, her lover, her family had long since given up on her. No one seemed to want to stay around her for very long. She was fractured, imperfect, un-fixable. She had become ( Read more... )

Ville's chest ached half in the effort it took for him to leave his one and only love, but it was mostly caused by his lungs straining as he literally fled the hospital in a run. He had to get away, had to think, had to...had to, christ he didn't know what he had to do. He felt like he'd been sleeping a thousand years and only just woken up, like ( Read more... )

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry for not updating Dark Sekret Love in many months! I've had a lot of crap going on in my life and I promise you all I will have a new chapter up by no later than Sunday. Hopefully, if my muse will work with me, I'll do it tonight. And weekly updates thereafter, girl scouts honor!

The air outside seemed colder than usual for a late October night in New York City. Perhaps it was due to the heater being on the frizt again or maybe it was because Michael Alig was sleeping alone for the first time in months. Things had not gone as planned when he met Keoki at the club that evening, the DJ acted non-chalant for breaking Michael's ( Read more... )

Alex spotted his uncles leaving just as he woke up from a small nap. He jumped to his feet and followed them, calling out his Uncle Dunn's name. Dunn turned around and paused, waiting for Alex to catch up to him. He still got creeped out at how much Alex resembled Bam. From the movement of his body to the way he frowned when he concentrated to the ( Read more... )

All Bam remembered was the flashing lights of paparazzi as he left the house on a gurney before he fainted again. He woke up in the hospital with Raab and Dunn asleep in chairs next to his bed. He felt the weight of the evening falling on him like an elephant on his chest. His brain struggled to comprehend what had happened. Where had he gone wrong ( Read more... )

Bam flicked on a light downstairs as he moved through the bottom floor of the house. It was weird that Knoxville and Missy had gone missing. He thought maybe they had gone to get something to help with dinner prep since Knoxville was notoriously anal about his cooking. And Bam knew better than to get in between Missy and her kitchen ( Read more... )

When he got to school the amount of kids was slightly overwhelming to him. He wasn't used to seeing that many kids at his private school, let alone the different social groups out on display here. He looked at his dad, smiling weakly and taking a deep breath. Bam looked at him, the slightest hint of worry in his blue eyes. He forced the door open, ( Read more... )
