Ch6: The Tale of the Two Lovers
It's my birthday today, but you get the gifts: a looooong chapter full of goodies,
including a Sunday in Medieval England and some picnic,
a pre-feminist womens talk in a tavern led by Mrs Hudson, the Wife of Doyle
we earn the BDSM tag, aka master!Sherlock, our beloved/sexy blacksmith comes to play with his guard
Imagine you are on a journey from London to Canterbury - would you tell their story?
Read ch6 here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/21002363/chapters/58134571

Ch5: The Tale of the Mayor
This is my favourite chapter so far, and it contains parts of the lyrics that gave my Johnlock fanfic its name:
This is our sanctuary
We can find shelter and peace
This is our sanctuary
You are, you are safe with me
I hope you, my dear readers, followers & mutals are in good health. Stay safe!
Chapter 5 is about the Holmes brothers, homophobia and horrible villians (aka Magnusson and Moriarty aren’t one ounce nicer in Medieval England).
"Brother mine, just let us be. Neither of us is willing to change. Alas, we cannot. We are who we are, and we love who we love. It's so simple that even you can grasp it." It might not be wise words for some, but the right ones for others. "If we cannot live our love in secret, then simply kill us now, Mycroft. I don't care, as there is no life without John by my side." At last, after a short pause, he who never went to war on paper, battles on, "We both live such awful lives, prisoners of love, so I beg you to not interfere. I love him. I cannot expect you to understand but I ask you to turn your eyes away. Otherwise, kill us here and now as punishment and end our pain, as we don't want to be apart from each other."

Sneak Peak: The Tale of the Guard (ch3)
It starts where most journeys end: in the tavern.
The tavern’s name is Criterion, not that names are important overall. In those days it was more important to know people of influence, and even those change rapidly.
It is a Monday when John Watson inquires about Sherlock Holmes, the local blacksmith.
[...]
Tonight I am going to knock quietly on the blacksmith's bedroom window. I might be getting a kiss out of it. I've been having urges all day long.
Last night I dreamt about giving myself to him. It terrified me, and thrilled me too.
So I’ll catch a few hours of sleep, then stay up late and drink with the others to keep up the façade, and visit him just before sunrise.
ALL-NEW CHAPTER (ca 4k, rating: explicit, aka canon rimjob gets the Johnlock treatment ;)) 08/03/2020. Endless thanks to my beta @totallysilvergirl !

When you want to catch up: Sanctuary
SNEAK-PEAK: John and his Guards (3/10)
That’s one reason Watson retained his position as a guard for so long: he is loyal, but not to the mayor or the town, as the mayor believes. Then, as the one reason why he is loyal to the town often says, “the mayor is an idiot.”
And to highlight his point, he hadshis hand on his crotch. “I’m going to die if I can’t have my way with you, my love.” Then he grabs John’s arse and says, “Make love to me right now, or, by God, I’m going to die!”
John pulls away from him and twists out of his grasp as he turns to him and says, “Stop it! We will be seen. Wait for me at home.” And when the other man is not willing to part yet, chasing after another kiss, Watson pushes him in the direction, “Go, go, and hurry.”
Sherlock Holmes, the local blacksmith, was John Watson’s secret.

Thanks for everyone who follows along while I remix Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and made it more queer. From chapter 3 onwards, the rating is for a reason. Look at the tags, readers, don’t come to me afterwards, complaining that it’s a Medieval Johnlock AU with a BDSM theme.
