John Watson is in love. He's so in love. He knows they've only been together six months, but...he's pretty sure he's found the one. His boyfriend seems to agree -- he takes John out to dinner and pops the question. John says yes, of course. The two do home to celebrate, only to have John's now fiance get called to work. John's disappointed, but used to it. The troubles of dating an international consultant

Stupid! Stupid! He had been so stupid, running back into danger. Now he had one man down (still hard to not think in military jargon), and a weapon being aimed at him for the second time in an hour. Thankfully, it was neither of the previous two men, as this time around they would have been more inclined to shoot first and ask questions later. He raised his hands in surrender, and used his most calming voice

As the cab got underway, John pushed aside fears of how they would pay for it, as the other man hadn’t objected; and tried to make himself useful. He tried to check Holmes’s eyes, and found his hands being weakly swatted away. “Let me check your pupils for concussion, see if you need to go to an A&E. Don’t worry, I’m a doctor.” It slipped out naturally, in a bid to reassure, to realize it too late that it was too much information

It was the smile; Sherlock decided that suited his face the most. In the next moment, he berated himself for the illogical thought. The man was an interesting distraction, nothing more, nothing less…What a fascinating specimen, though with such an ordinary appearance. His present case was solved. All he had to look forward to, was the tedium and the struggle to deny himself the next high. This would break the monotony nicely

Thanks for that review! Canon Moriarty was a cerebral nemesis, who physically hurt Holmes only towards the end, when his empire was about to crash down, plus he never threatened Watson to get at Holmes. B.B.C. Moriarty is deliciously mental… id personified… which is great for visual material, but oddly one-dimensional to write about. So, I want my Jim to be a hybrid…which is bloody difficult, which is why I have never written this character before… even when I knew what I want, I still dunno how he’s gonna turn out. I respect John Watson too much (thanks to both Martin and Jude Law, the latter being the only reason why I would watch the second movie!)… The John in my head can take care of himself and would never say yes to a guy who didn’t truly make him happy… so as far as he was concerned, he was in a loving relationship… as to what Jim wanted from the ‘relationship’, the story will tell…I’m glad you liked this interpretation…

This is wonderful! I've really enjoyed reading what you've written so far! Excellent job answering the prompt! :-)
Although this is an AU, you do a great job of working in elements from canon. I especially like the way you combined two important moments from "A Study in Pink" in one bit of dialogue:
Holmes led the way, running through the maze of alleyways, over another fire-escape and two rooftops, when they finally stopped to catch their breaths.
“That…” John panted, “…had to be…the most ridiculous thing… I’ve ever done!”
“And you invaded Afghanistan!” Sherlock countered with a giggle of his own. At John’s sudden frozen expression, his tone became querulous. “Or, was it Iraq?”
OH! And I loved the way John turned the tables on Sherlock by explaining how he made all those deductions about him. It's brilliant:
John smiled wryly. “I told you myself that I was a Doctor. The dog tags, I fiddled with while playing, told you about the army. My posture and fighting skills showed you that the limp is in my head. The cut and polish of

The cab stopped in front of a nice one storey building in Central London with a chip shop out front, which was closed at this late hour. John offered to help Sherlock out of the cab, but was waved off. John didn’t say a thing…only waited patiently till Sherlock got out after paying, and tottered one step unsteadily, before John wordlessly grasped his hand and hauled him over one shoulder as before

When his eyes fell on John, all geniality drained from his face and his lips were drawn into a thin line. Admirably, he didn’t utter a single word, other than to casually turn to Sherlock and ask, “Who’s this

True to his word, John assisted him to the bath and left him there to clean up. Back alone in the living room, he finally dared to check his phone and found eleven missed calls, all from Lestrade

Sherlock stood below the shower, keeping his weight off the injured foot, and let his forehead touch the cool tile, as hot water ran down his back. Transport…It’s just transport, he reminded himself as his heart thudded painfully against his ribs, as if it could somehow escape

Sebastian Moran was not pleased. He was fucking good at his job. This wasn’t optional as the last man who had been in his place, and made a mistake had been roasted alive in an electric crematorium (drowning someone in the Thames was too pedestrian for the Boss
