There's a case at a secondary school/University, some series of threats or string of bizarre murders that has the entire campus shaken. In the course of the investigation, Sherlock and John meet two students. One is well liked if not popular, athletic, intelligent without showing off, involved only because they were close to a victim or witnessed something important. The other is a loner with no regard for social norms, an insufferable genius, always in the chem lab, and involved because everyone, including teachers/professors, think they're behind everything

Not at all, but rereading the prompt, I can see why you'd think that. I swear, it's just my The Expies Fall In Love trope mixed with some possible Schoolboy/girl kink, no funny business.
Right, so - this has sparked with a plotbunny I've had for ages and now I really want to write it, but RL is a bit manic atm and so I'm likely to update slightly erratically...sorry in advance. Also, I've changed a couple of things - the subjects the students are studying are different, and they're already friends before the murders. I hope that's OK - let me know if you want me to continue or not! I promise the similarities will get a lot more glaring in later chapters.

‘All of it?’ John says in disbelief. ‘We have to watch all of itThere are literally weeks’ worth of security footage on the computer in front of them. Only two days of it cover the events of the case directly, and the police have already been through those, as well as bits and pieces of the rest of it

Nnnnnn yes yes yes yes YAY. This is looking perfect so far. And please don't let this make you feel rushed, I know how RL can be, but, erm... post more. A lot more. Soon. :)
Much to Sherlock’s chagrin, John insists on their eating in hall with the students that night. They are staying in college accommodation, after all, and they’ve been offered free meals while they’re here and it’s only sensible to take advantage of it. Besides, it’s polite. None of these arguments particularly resonates with Sherlock, but he finds himself being dragged along anyway
