    Summary

    “I’m looking for a castle,” John informed the scarecrow. “A moving one.”

    Except that, as it turned out, it was not a moving one at all.

    Summary

    "Why do you want me to tell you my life story? Surely Mycroft has briefed you. I thought that therapists were supposed to help solve problems. This is my problem: John is gone. John has probably been kidnapped. John may be dead. Mycroft has imprisoned me here and will not let me search for him. How will telling you my life from the egg solve any of these problems?"

    The autobiography of Sherlock Holmes, intelligent macaw, as told (under duress) to a therapist.

    It was selfish and horrible and inhuman of him, he knew, and pathetic and cowardly, besides. But it gave him such a feeling of satisfaction, whenever it happened.

    Summary

    Captain John Watson and the Starship Enterprise are ordered to Janus VI, where a series of mysterious killings have halted production of the vital mineral pergium. But Watson’s orders to get the mining facility up and running aren’t made any simpler by his brilliant new First Officer’s stubborn insistence that the deaths aren’t what they seem — or by the discovery that a hitherto unknown alien species is threatened with destruction. Watson must now risk his new command on the deductions of a regulations-averse Vulcan and the slim chance that if the humans in this situation won’t see sense, maybe the aliens will…

    Summary

    Sherlock presses his nose into my hair and inhales. “Told myself the whole way here we wasn’t gonna get into this again,” he says low. His breath moves soft against my scalp, and his words rumble deep into my bones. It sounds like the open sky throwing wind against the boulders up on Baker, rattling the thin walls of the tent with the rushing force of the mountain.

    I hum. I don’t believe him for a second – steppin’ out of his gleaming white Ford back in Signal with his best shirt on and his curls all combed lookin’ up at me like he just took a breath after five years of holding it.

    I know because I did the same.

    Summary

    Sherlock has been gone for two years and John Watson is doing okay. He goes to work. He sleeps (sometimes). He eats. He has colleagues, some of whom are even friends. He has purpose. If it's not a life as others might view it, it's a fair approximation. It's fine. He's fine.

    One night the lights go out and when they come back on everything is the same except for one important thing. For John it's the most important thing.

    And suddenly John is not fine at all.

    Summary

    The thing about best friends in a small town is that you don’t get to choose. Instead, you get exactly the person you need. It goes that way with Arthur and Eames. Maybe it’s because both of them aren’t made for small town life, not at all, and so instead of growing to fit the town, they grow to fit together.

    Summary

    From the beginning of their relationship, Eames has always been the one to find Arthur. A story in which Arthur is kidnapped, Eames is a hopeless romantic, the past informs the present, and true love conquers all.

    This story follows Origin Stories; reading that first would be helpful, but not essential.

    Summary

    Many people, Eames would find out later, assumed Eames had wanted Arthur from the moment they'd met. It was true Arthur was devestatingly attractive, but in all honesty, the first thing Eames had thought when he'd met Arthur was, Why did Cobb bring his son? (Or: It's all about trust.)
