    Summary

    Ex-War healer and current angelic guard John Watson is not having the best day. He overslept, he’s underpaid, and now there’s someone tagging the Council’s building walls. However things may be about to get interesting: there’s an unusual stranger hanging around (the definition of tall, dark, and handsome), a literal underground cult is brewing, and rumblings are coming from hell. Can he keep his neighbourhood safe, how and why is he being connected to all this, and who the hell is Sherlock Holmes?

    Summary

    “There’s something I should say...I’ve meant to say...always, but I never have. Since it is unlikely that we will ever meet again, I might as well say it now…”

    A "fix-it" for the Tarmac scene, where John sees through Sherlock's words and calls him on it.

    Summary

    —in which John teaches Sherlock about human touch.

     John releases a breath he didn’t realise he’d been holding, a satisfied sigh of relief, and he presses his own face into Sherlock’s smooth, thick curls. “Good,” he says. “That’s good.”
     
    “Yes,” Sherlock agrees, relishing the scent of John’s aftershave. “Very good.” And he means it.
