Title: The Just Happening of Sherlock Holmes (1/?)
Author: calamitybreak
Fandom/Pairing: Sherlock | Sherlock/John
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~3300
Warnings: None.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Summary: It started with the hijacking of a bus. No, not a hijacking - a "temporary acquisition of the nearest available transportation," as called by Sherlock Holmes. Which just happened to be a bus. A bus that one Dr. John Watson just happened to be riding. And now, that one Dr. John Watson just happens to get continually caught up in Sherlock's plots; half of them preventing crime, and the other half… well, not so much.

If you’ve been reading these posts for the last week, you know that my intention was to write two posts. The first, about help, I did write. The second, I still haven’t written. This is very much in keeping with the way I write anything. I have a general idea. I put the words on the screen. And then other words arise out of interaction, and, well.

We, as parents, all want our children to be happy. I take that as a given. We do not always make our children happy - but at base, we want our children to lead happy, long lives.

Given the way life works, life is not predictable. We are adults, our children are not. We know the things that caused us pain - and we want to help our own children avoid that pain, and avoid bearing those scars.

( But... )

And now, I am running out of the house because it’s our 23rd anniversary :)

Schism

Relationships: John/Molly, John/Sherlock, Molly/Sherlock

Summary: You think you have a truth and then the next person has a better one, a more exclusive one. That's how wars start.

Rated: R for adult themes of sundry sorts: consenting adults, war imagery and people being messed up in the head.

Word count: ~2,300

Disclaimer: Gatiss, Moffatt: Molly's yours. John and Sherlock? Well, sort of.

Notes: Post-TRF, because it seems to be somewhat compulsory. My fabulous beta reader beta mad_with_july – thank you. At least you didn't have to travel to the 19th century this time. Also thanks to stardust_made for encouragement and patience. First and in all probability last venture into the vast and deep seas of BBC Sherlock ficcage. Please get me a hansom cab back to 1895 when you're done.

Ordinary

From Sherlock to Sheldon: Asexuality and Asexual Characters in SF/F
Track: Feminism and Other Social Change Movements

Panel description:
We're all familiar by now with the sexual orientations homosexual, heterosexual and bisexual. Much less discussed are asexuals, persons who do not experience sexual attraction. This panel discusses what asexuality is and is not, and proposes ways for authors to explore this overlooked orientation in their characters. Is it enough that a character has no on-page sex life, or should asexuality be more positively portrayed? Asexuality in real-time fandom and asexual characters in fiction and media may also be discussed as time allows.
#AsexualSFF

Panelists:
Jed Hartman
Liz Argall
K. Tempest Bradford, moderator
Rebecca [I didn't catch her last name], who suggested the panel, but didn't sign up to be on it because she wasn't sure she'd make it to Wiscon. The panelists asked her to be on the panel because two assigned panelists were missing.

Tempest said that mostly the panelists would talk and for the last half hour there would be time for audience q's and comments.

[My notes aren't a complete transcription and may represent my own language rather than the actual words of the panelists. I welcome corrections. I did not identify most audience commenters by name for privacy reasons. If you said something I paraphrased here and want your name to be used, please comment or send me a private message.]

Away from the Internets for most of the day because my niece Cecilia is having her high school graduation ceremony. See you all tomorrow. In the meantime, here’s “The Paper Chase,” one of my favorite graduation-themed songs, from the (now defunct) The Academy Is… (the ellipsis is part of their name).

I wrote about Fast Times at Barrington High, the album this song is on, here.

Have a good Sunday.

Title: Sweat, On Livejournal or On AO3
Rating: R
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Wordcount: 2,500
Warnings: Er, not really. Lots of sweat, if that squicks you
Beta: None this time. Just writing for a lark at the mo, to get my feet back under me.

Summary: John must be naturally heat-tolerant, Sherlock supposes, and three years stationed near a desert probably increased his ability to deal with the heat tenfold. But his cool poise in the hottest part of the summer irks Sherlock’s stretched nerves in a way he can’t define, and in the certainty of a great idea that only comes in the middle of the night Sherlock is determined to make John sweat.
