I actually joined Livejournal to post this prompt - fanfiction.net, specifically one particular Sherlock fanfic on there - takes up most of my Sherlock fanning-energy, and I have been trying to resist joining here so I don't either become totally obsessed 24/7, or else feel guilty not giving either fan circle the time they deserve!. So I'll probably be sporadic on here, but still pleased to be a part of the community. Spool over now!

This isn't the kind of story I would write myself, but it is a story that NEEDS to be told, so if someone wants to tell it I'll eagerly listen!

PROMPT
John goes into kidney failure. Sherlock is a match....

Please bear in mind:
- Sherlock's job - his passion - involves a lot of high risk physical contact - so donating would put his career at serious risk
- Sherlock hates people fussing over him
- Sherlock wouldn't be overtly fluffy or show much outward affection towards John, given his character
- How would John feel about this? Also someone who doesn't like people fussing over him, downplays things etc.

I imagine this non-slash, and fairly long and detailed, but then that's just how I write. It's more about the dilemma and the implications of its resolution. But i don't want to be overly-controlling. It's up to you!
