Time Traveler's Wife crossover/AU

[anonymous]

The Time Travelers Husband
26
Sherlock Holmes has never been the subject of bullies, and has a rather happy childhood. But he's also alone. And while he doesn't mind being alone, he would like a friend. One day a man literally pops into his garden. The man's a bit strange, and not as smart as Sherlock(who is), but Sherlock can't really deduce anything from him. And the man is interesting and listens to Sherlock...and Sherlock actually finds himself helping the man by providing some food. The mans name is John

This can be slash or not. I have no preference.

I'm going to give it a go at filling this for you! It'll be my first fill, so I hope it's alright.

Also, I haven't decided on whether it should be slash or not. We will just see where the story takes us, shall we?

Hi! Right, this is my first time filling a prompt so I hope it's okay, OP! Also, I haven't written in donkeys years, never written BBC Sherlock fic and this is un-beta'd, so if anyone notices any mistakes feel free to point them out (please? :p). No need to Brit-pick though, it's cool, my nationality/upbringing has this shit sorted.
Hokay! Let's do this. <\small

Sherlock can feel himself getting excited. He allows his curious mouth to fire off questions. "Once you appear? What do you mean by that? Why do you get sick? Is it always the same kind of sick? Wait, no, do you always feel ill? Because the first time I went swimming in the lake I had a cold for the whole week when I got out, but then the next time I didn't

"You're not a time traveller! Real time travellers have clothes. Usually really old ones, like Victorian clothes or roman togas or something, because they actually time travel and get clothes from different eras and cultures. And they usually have assistants to help them explore and go on adventures," replies Sherlock, a bit disappointed. He would have loved to have met a real time traveller

"I've got some orange juice too if you'd like it!" says Sherlock giddily, watching John nod as he unwraps the sandwiches from the clingfilm and stuffs them into his mouth. Sherlock watches almost unnervingly, his eyes fixed on the man. "You eat like a dog

*Points down* See that? those are my eyes! My eyes! They've popped out from sheer shock. *tilts head* It's rather creepy seeing myself like this. *bends down, picks up eyes, polishes them clean, and pops them back in* Finall-- ACK!! My heart!! *Glares at heart* Its jumped out of my chest from sheer joy.. *Picks up heart* It's swelled up from emotion.

You. Are. Brilliant. This has already surpassed anything I could have hoped for.

I've read many a kink fill, many a fic. I can honestly say that in just these few parts this fic has reached my list of "best ever".

I am in tears (now that my eyes are back in place).

Thank you. Thank you, thank you.

Aadfhsgkhdakhfargjyfs I'm so glad you like it!
Thank you :p

I'll probably be updating this whenever I get inspiration, but it'll definitely have a new chapter every week. Is that okay?

OP

[anonymous]

I adore it. I honestly could not be more happy with what you have written. So astounding (I love angst and John Whump.) It's so amazing because you have the perfect mixture of AU/time traveller John with series canon John...even in just these short passages. In addition, Sherlock is just as I imagine child Sherlock.

You've made me so, so happy.

Take whatever time you need. A new chapter a week!! Eek! I'm so overwhelmed. Thank you!!

John whumpage is my secret kink. It's part of the reason I'm filling this. :p

And I'm so happy I managed to get both universes smooshed together correctly! I've changed a few things (the next part I'm about to put up explains things slightly), but other than that it's really fun to write both Sherlock and Time Travellers Wife. It's one of my fav books (yours too? :D) so I hope I'm doing it justice! (Same goes for Sherlock.)

Right, another chapter on the way. ;D it won't be like this every day, I swear! It's just too much fun! Thanks for an awesome prompt, OP! <3

Quick updates! I had nothing to do all day and this prompt is so much fun to fill, so.... ;)
I've adapted to the same layout as the book with the dates. It's much easier than having to have Sherlock and John explain their ages in each chapter.

15th March 2011. (John is 39, Sherlock is 35.) The bed creaks and groans as John drops onto it. Rather, onto Sherlock's stomach. There is an 'OOMF!' from both men and John scrambles off Sherlock, who sits up ramrod straight and wide awake. He stares at John, who's on the floor now having underestimated the bed space for rolling over, and quirks his lips

20th December 1983. (Sherlock is 7-nearly-8.) Sherlock wakes up at 6am exactly and jumps out of bed, wincing as his cold feet land on the even colder floorboards. He bounds over to his desk and double-triple-quadruple checks his bag for the thirty seventh time that week. He is excited, even more excited than the time Mycroft promised to take him to the zoo so he could tell him about the different species in more context than the stupid books at school (he knows what a mammal is, no need to keep explaining it to him! What he doesn't know are the different genus', kingdoms and domains of various species.) Mycroft never did take him of course, though he apologised profusely and explained that he was invited to go to some stupid academy thingy to look around and think about his future on the day they had planned to go, which is why Sherlock has stolen Mycroft's trousers for the man instead of Daddy's. Mycroft is so fat anyway that he doubted that the sizes would have varied much

20th December 1983. (John is 35, Sherlock is 7-nearly-8.) One moment John is running barefoot on the hot tarmac, the policeman right behind him, and then the next moment he is thrown onto a rock like a rag doll, slicing his hands as he tries to protect his head

"Thank you, these are great," says John as he reaches for the pile of clothes that Sherlock has just placed down in front of him, looking far too much like he's handing them to an animal and he's analysing what it'll do next. The little boys sharp eyes stay on him even as John moves to start working the slightly-too-small shirt over his head. John twirls a finger around and raises his eyebrows. Sherlock gets the message and turns around quickly, flushing with embarrassment at being caught out staring. With Sherlock turned around, John feels comfortable finishing tugging the shirt on and standing up to pull up the loose trousers. He grabs at the elastic around the top edge of them and pulls the loose fabric into his fist, so that the trousers are taut around his hips. They're exactly the right height, which makes John feel just that bit shorter, knowing that these are probably Mycroft's when he was a teenager and that the fact that John is as tall as a teenager makes him feel a bit inadequate. The shirt, however, is tight on him. He
