Summary
There is naught to commend about this decrepit alley—no redemption graces its grey, unerring walls. Not even the archbishop would spare a glance into this maw. Yet, for this very reason, it prevails as our holy salvation.
or; there is no world where the love between the doctor and his detective is simple, but there is no world where their love is forsaken either.

The Case of John Watson's Heart by ajdumpsherstories

Summary
The night after he adds a second bullet to his revolver, he meets Sherlock Holmes.
John's heart is wrenched from his chest with cold, plying words. His body is laid bare, more naked than he was in the heat of the warmest Afghan nights. He feels wrung and laid out to die in a sandy ditch, the bullet wound flayed open under icy-blue eyes.
“Dying to your own hand would be incredibly stupid, Watson,” Sherlock says, “If you’re going to die, let your heart do the killing.”
or; John Watson's heart has never been his own; he’s given pieces of it to everyone, but none more than Sherlock Holmes—and he buries him with it.

Summary
“Let me–” he’d stumbled over his words like a newborn fawn. Tripped and wobbled and stuttered through his half-formed thoughts and wayward feelings. “Let me,” he’d tried again, because the words felt like honey in winter, cloying and sticky and so solid.
And then Merlin had looked at him, with more sorrow and fear and guilt than his eyes could contain, spilling into the slant of his mouth and the furrow of his brows. Impossibly, it’s the smallest sliver of hope that pushes the words forth.
“Let me see,” Arthur says.
or; Arthur finds out, and Merlin finds that it's never mattered.

The Firing Line by thepinupchemist

Summary
When Steve's dad is diagnosed with cancer, Steve returns to his childhood home to support his mom -- a small town called Gold Cliff, Colorado. Ten years before, he left Gold Cliff behind him, left his no-longer-best-friend Bucky Barnes behind him, with the intention of never seeing him ever again. But Bucky Barnes crash-lands back into his life nonetheless, long-haired and one-armed and haunted, keeping secrets from day one.
Filled with self-loathing and millennial angst, they agree to a mutually beneficial sexual relationship to blow off steam.
Steve should have known better than to think he could ever put Bucky Barnes behind him.

Summary
Geralt stumbles upon the old, abandoned altar right beside the cliff’s edge. He’s just killed a basilisk and destroyed its eggs and nest when his medallion starts humming, heats up, alerting him to magic swirling in the air. He’s on guard, always, and, with steel sword drawn, he creeps closer.
*
Geralt picks up a magic item. He spends an inordinate amount of time time panicking because nice things start happening to him.
Of course, he realizes not everything is about him. But it all works out in the end.

Summary
“Such a nice, beautiful sound,” the fae crooned. “If only he were this way always.”
Julian’s mother stood up. She claimed she was prepared to stop the fae, to protect her baby, but in Julian’s darkest moments he doubted this part of the story. His mother loved him, of that he had no doubt, but she had been young and weary, and even years later, she couldn’t quite get the twinge of exhaustion out of her eyes when she recalled Julian’s infancy. Even if she had been keen on protecting him, the fae was too close, too fast, too set on his plan.
“A gift, for the new mother,” the fae continued. He leaned a hand in to stroke Julian’s cheek. “I give you the gift of obedience.”
As a baby, Jaskier was visited by a fae, who gifted Jaskier's mother with Jaskier's obedience. As Jaskier grew older, the "gift" became more of a curse.
