a sense of urgency

one-shots, blurbs, concepts, requests—it's an all-you-can-eat literature buffet of assorted pieces centering around, you guessed it, carmen berzatto.

beyond answers

your upstairs neighbor is a pain to deal with for several reasons. not only does he annoyingly play his violin at all hours of the day, but he's also rude and patronizing. what makes matters worse is how he soon requires your help in a case he's working on. or, in other words, the five times sherlock holmes deduced you and the one time he was wrong.

compulsion

as he tends to get, carmen berzatto is stuck. and what's the best cure for this feeling that plagues his existence? throwing himself into his work while running his business with an iron fist, no matter the fact that uncle jimmy's attractive and distracting niece has started working alongside him.

en avant

as a single dad coparenting with his frigid ex, lip gallagher is a different man compared to who he was years ago. he's sober, he has a job he hates but maintains for his two children, and one day, he decides to enroll his daughter into free ballet classes on a whim. abandoning the idea of a stable relationship occurred even before he met tami, but he can't deny there's something about his daughter's ballet instructor that pulls him in. it can't hurt getting closer to you... can it?

i. a sleep deprived meeting

your upstairs neighbor plays the violin often. so much so that it's distracting you from your work. you decide it's time to confront him.

ii. consequences and a lead

sherlock doesn't usually regret things, but he's regretting how he spoke to you. it's not out of the goodness of his heart, however.

iii. mr. wright and jane austen

sherlock observes you from afar and learns things against his own whim. that's what he'll keep telling himself.

iv. the distraction of rising temperature

now that you and sherlock are at a friendlier standing, it's time to explore more of your friendship. or whatever it is.

v. concealed feelings and abstract attitudes

the morning after your drunken fiasco is not any less awkward than you could have guessed. there seems to be a strain on your relationship with sherlock that seeps into the trips you go on together for his investigation. you don't know why he's acting the way he is, you just know that it's angering you.

vi. the puzzling case of clara grace and intricate, convoluted emotions

there are a few ways that you and sherlock reconcile. one involves a bed, the other involves a carriage, a dance, and then there's the matter of the revolver. what was once unclear begins to be disclosed, but it can only be unveiled to a willing, open, and observant eye. you're going to find what's there as well as what you want to be there.
