Title: Stock'Holmes' Syndrome, Chapter 2 of 3
Author: PipMer
Word Count: 3239 this part
Characters: Sherlock, John, Billie
Pairing: Sherlock/John friendship or romance (to be revealed)
Rating: PG
Genre: Friendship, angst/fluff, bromance/romance (voted on by readers)

Summary: John Watson and Sherlock Holmes had known each other for seven years, five months and 26 days. Captain Watson decided it was high time for him to let his friend know exactly what he meant to him. Dr. Watson, on the other hand, was less than enthusiastic about the whole thing.

Chapter 1

A/N: Tremendous thanks to all you wonderful readers who left input and suggestions for me. If you’ve read the previous chapter’s comments then you’ll know in what direction this story is headed. That being said, I've put the rest of the notes at the end of the chapter to avoid spoilers.

Special mention goes here to drinkingcocoa and treelight for their contributions to the storyline. I took their suggestions and ran with it, and I had loads of fun in the process. Thank you so much, guys! I hope that this satisfies.

Here is a mini-challenge to test for how eagle-eyed my readers are. In the previous chapter, I made a subtle, one-line reference to a comment thread on John’s blog. If you’re not familiar with John’s blog, you can find it here. The first person to identify it correctly, both on AO3 and on LJ, will receive a wee 221b ficlet from a prompt of their choosing.

A/N: Just a fun little foray into John and Sherlock's relationship. You, the reader, get to decide which way their relationship goes. Should it be bromance, or romance? Leave me a note in a comment to let me know your preference. Written in a rush, not beta'd or britpicked, I do hope you enjoy, regardless.

UPDATE 10/12/12: VOTES HAVE BEEN TALLIED, A DIRECTION HAS BEEN CHOSEN :)

Title: Private Entry

Characters: John Watson, Mystery Character
Rating: G
Genre: Gen, angst, friendship
Spoilers: Reichenbach
Word Count: 856

Summary: As he sits in a cafe updating his blog, he is surprised by the appearance of someone unexpected.

A/N: If this looks familiar, that's because this is a revised scene from one of my WIP's. The setting and POV have been changed, but the effect should be the same. I wanted to see how it would work as a one-shot, and I was curious to see how this version would be received. Just trying to flex my writing muscles a bit. Thank you for the indulgence.

Rating: G
Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson
Genre: Friendship, angst, 221b ficlet
Warning: Major Character Death
Wordcount: 221
Disclaimer: I don't own, no money is being made.

Summary: He knows it isn’t physically possible, but he swears that he can feel his heart breaking.

A/N: Written, quite literally, in a ten-minute fit of madness. Hopefully it isn't too awful. I am truly sorry. Don't hate me too much. Meant to be friendship only, but can be seen as slash if you're so inclined.

Title: Tea and Conversation, Part 4
Author: PipMer
Rating: PG
Characters: Sherlock, John, Lestrade, Mycroft
Pairing: Sherlock/John, Lestrade/Mycroft
Genre: Humour, texting, slash, friendship
Warnings: Some swearing, sexual innuendo
Wordcount: 1039
Disclaimer: I don't own, no money is being made from this.

Summary: Back by popular demand, a continuation of the Tea and Conversation series. John has problems with his phone, Sherlock changes ring tones, and Greg and Mycroft are caught in the middle. Shameless usage of the 'autocorrect' trope.

A/N: This is a continuation of the Tea and Conversation and Series; the previous part is found here: Tea and Conversation, Part 3. All spelling, grammar and punctuation errors in Lestrade's texts are intentional, due to the Inspector's inebriation.

Summary: Sometimes - not often, but sometimes - Sherlock fails.

( Failure )

Guys, I'm preparing to watch The Reichenbach Fall with a friend who hasn't seen it, and I'm nervous they won't like it! Particularly I am afraid he is going to say it jumped the shark after seeing that Sherlock is actually alive after his swan dive. He is very particular about shows being realistic and believable (unless, of course, it's sci-fi or something like that), and I'm afraid he just won't be able to buy it.

Summary: Sherlock has been shot, and feelings get aired.

A/N: Unbeta'd. This is a continuation of Tea and Conversation, Part 2. You need to read that in order for this one to make sense.

So many apologies for the delay in updating. I hope there's at least someone who's still reading. Enjoy, I hope. This turned out a bit angstier than originally intended, but all's well that ends well.

A/N: This is a work-in-progress. Many thanks go out to my awesome betas/britpickers

fawsley and

susako.

fawsley gave me helpful hints on how to 'show, not tell'.

susako went out of her way to visit the actual hospital I use here, so that the layout I describe is accurate. Thank you so much, ladies.

Thanks also to

morganstuart and

holyfant for their suggestions and cheerleading.
