Ride On's fifth anniversary:

fandom (trumps hate) love post

art by @johix

5 years ago today I started posting Ride On (10/10 ch.; 39k words).

It was my second Fandom Trumps Hate fic for Anyawen, whose prompt was precise enough to inspire me and fluid enough to let me to head straight for the land of Self-Indulgently Including Everything I Ever Wanted in BBC Sherlock Plus 20 Of My Favorite Songs So There.

@anyawen, most creative and generous of humans, also beta’ed the story as it was emerging from my fevered brain, or rather, from the space between our two fevered brains.

Podfixx started making the [Podfic] Ride On around Ch. 5, or perhaps had recorded 5 chapters before mentioning it to me, aware that I’d want a @podfixx treatment on ANYTHING I ever wrote including my least successful job application letter ever. I haven’t read Ride On since I posted it, but have lost count of the times I’ve listened to the podfic, which is infinitely better.

In Praise of "Ride On" by @k2ntwo is a paean to the fic and to the podfic, and periodically I clutch it to my heart.

The Cover for Ride On by @bluebellofbakerstreet makes me squee every time I see it and I bet I'm not alone; @johix's art takes us to Caherdaniel in the midst of a very public reunion, in Ch. 4.

The comments, oh my dear gods the comments. Readers and listeners and tumblrinas have spoiled me rotten with the comments and bookmarks on Ride On. It's the story (of mine) readers have kudos'd most; their interaction with it has often restored my flagging spirits in the truly grim timeline we’re inhabiting.

I wrote two epilogues to Ride On (chapters 9 and 10), and a final epilogue (Ch. 11), set in a retirementlock decade, is in the drafts folder. Let’s just say that no one will be surprised at where it’s set.

TLDR: no fic is an island; it takes a fandom; no fic of mine is ever finished; and I don’t have words to thank those who’ve loved this story. Also: thanks for reblogging!

A Better Man by Calais Reno

Sherlock's wavering resolution to be a better man for John.

Author Note: My intention with this was to write a Series 1-2 story, the kind people wrote before Series 3 changed everything. I'm not sure that's actually possible. Having lived through S3-4, we can't unsee all that.

I couldn’t stop thinking about Reichenbach, and what this Sherlock would do about breaking his promise not to leave. Chapter 2 is an epilogue to explore what happened after Sherlock faked his death. I’ve made that a separate chapters in case you prefer to pretend S3-4 don't exist.

As if there was no tomorrow

Chapter 17 is up on AO3

Detective Inspector Gregory Lestrade patiently waited in front of the warehouse when John exited half an hour later after an intense exchange of intel and making plans with Mycroft.

“You’re quite the actor, Dr. Watson. Near-deaf naïve limping would-be writer of medical shenanigans. As if.” Lestrade chuckled quietly.

Tired of his pointless life, John Watson travels to the place of his childhood vacations in Scotland. After spending a restless night in a heavy thunderstorm, John finds somebody on the beach who will change his life forever. Together, they rise like a phoenix from the ashes of their existence.

sunday six

A bit from the amnesia fic, which is well underway.

"Have you been smoking?" "Ash," Sherlock says, stupidly, and good God, has his brain lost function entirely? "Yeah, no, you've already done that. No need to subject your lungs to it again," John said, and then he has his phone out, he is searching for something and— Sherlock's phone pings. He lifts it slowly, like moving underwater. "Your monograph on tobacco ash," John says. Sherlock closes his eyes.

When We Were Young by Calais Reno

Chapter One: The Hero of Reichenbach

John and Sherlock met at school, and were a bit more than friends. But they didn't stay in touch afterwards. Life goes on, and when John returns from Afghanistan, he takes a position at Barts as a trauma specialist, working in the Emergency Department. As he reports for work one day, a man jumps off the roof of the hospital. John's world tilts on its axis.
