God, the way John needled about but ultimately accepted Dean’s family.
Kaleidoscope is complete

Summary:
While Sherlock’s recovering from being shot, John has to work out what the hell happened. Why did Mary turn up in his clinic in the first place? Why is Sherlock lying about her “surgical” shot? Why is Mycroft protecting Magnussen? For that matter, what's to be done about Magnussen?
Since John can’t trust any of them to tell him the truth, he’ll have to play them all against each other.
Kaleidoscope starts with a classic fic premise: that after Mary shot Sherlock, John moved out on her and back to 221B. Every shard in my kaleidoscope has featured in at least one post-HLV fic; this is just a silvercoated version, where every turn of the kaleidoscope shows a different picture. What does it do to love to keep secrets, out of distrust and unwitting condescension?
@annecumberbatch made this beautiful graphic for Kaleidoscope, which has lifted my spirits every time I look at it. Thank you, AnneC.
Hello, my bored arse is just sitting here thinking about how much John genuinely picked up working with Sherlock because "Mary" explained how Sherlock knew where John would been weeks in advance, and that "Mary" is John. :D
Hey Nonny!
YUP EXACTLY. As much as I dislike S4, there are small clever little things like this that show us that John really is STUPIDLY smart but he doesn't believe he is. AND stuff like this also helps me solidify my theory about S4 being told as an Unreliable Narrator story from John's POV.
Could yoy recommend any fics in which John is a genius or really intelligent and gets to show off?
Ps. Your fics are awesome
Hi Lovely!
Ahh, I don’t know of many at all, just one that I have read, and there’s this community recs list that went around awhile ago here. Sorry I’m not much help other than that, I guess I’m not that awesome, LOL. <3
Thank you though for the compliment <3
