    Summary

    They’re sure of each other, now. They’re settled. And as far as Sherlock is concerned, settled isn’t the least bit boring or stifling or constraining.

    Settled is marvellous. Settled is freeing.

    Settled means sometimes you make romantic love by candlelight, murmuring hushed words of endless devotion solely because you want to, because the moment feels right and good.

    And sometimes, settled means you fuck on the sofa on a Saturday afternoon, straightforward and uncomplicated, no deep desperate romance necessary, just because fucking is fun.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Sherlock gazes down at his husband, pink and solid and sweaty and real beneath him…feels like he’s about to crack the code to the most fundamental truth of human existence.

    I wasn’t me until I met you, he discovers, with a sudden burst of overwhelming gratitude and devotion.

    **Lovely. And with chips!

    I’m alive, he thinks, feeling something close to triumph. I’m alive and I love someone and he loves me and I’m alive.

    Fantastic - the one where John is an orchestra conductor, as well as a conductor of light.

    Summary

    When Sherlock woke up in the hospital, again, alone, again, with the dullness of morphine lying over him like a smothering blanket, again, he had to close his eyes for a long, long moment. But then he gritted his teeth and reached to punch down the level on his PCA. If the only thing he could control was how much narcotic was being dumped into his system, then by God he would control it.

    “Sex was better than morphine; he hardly hurt at all right now.”

    Summary

    Well.
    That rather settled John’s long-standing question of Is-Sherlock-Gay.
    John stared at the screen of *his computer damn it*, where a rather telling video was paused. What John could see that was not hidden by the big play button seemed to suggest that two of those blokes were giving the third one a rather good time.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Funny smut. Smutty fun.

    “I’m not gay,” said John, giving him a playful shove as he reached for his keys. “You’re just too bloody fit.”

    “I won’t deny that,” said Sherlock, still supremely smug.
