John/Whoever Het...

[anonymous]

What it says on the tin. I just want some het involving John in some fashion. Genderbend is perfectly acceptable, too, although I'd prefer normal John and not Fem!John in this case. Bonus points if the partner is Anthea, because there is a criminal lack of John/Anthea fic in this fandom.

Fill: What People Do, 1a

a/n: criminal lack, indeed! hope you're still watching this thread, anon

What People Do, 1b

In his determination not to notice how especially attractive Mycroft's assistant looked in the purple dress, John had also failed to notice that the car had diverged from his route to stop in front of a particularly upscale hotel

"My employer knows, naturally, but we've a bit of an unspoken agreement that I will not divulge any details." She still sounded formal, though it might just be her brazen outlining of her expectations of a relationship that still seemed quite fictional to John, who was still trying to wrap his head around the fact that, yes, apparently people do do this. "I've set aside time for lunch sometime next week in order to meet and discuss further intricacies of this arrangement, but for the sake of time, I assumed you wouldn't be averse to getting straight to it

*g* I love this, and I'd love to read more if you ever feel the muse for more of this 'verse!

I love the way that AntheaIris is so matter-of-fact about organising things - it's a sensible arrangement for two people who are caught up in the time-consuming business of looking after a Holmes brother. And meanwhile John's swept along by her efficiency in a kind of, "What's going on? Yeah, OK, cool... you know actually this is a really brilliant idea!" Both hilarious and hot, even without explicit sexytimes. ♥

Re: What People Do, 1d OP

[anonymous]

That was lovely! I'll admit, I was hoping for the sexytiems, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading this as well--especially because it was John/Anthea and it's nearly impossible to find that pairing. Thank you so much for writing this! I really, really enjoyed it. :)
