Summary
This is Layla Parker. At least, that’s the name she gives to anyone she plans on knowing for more than a few days. She came to town expecting a routine vampire hunt but it quickly becomes apparent that nothing about this job is going to be routine. The Winchesters don’t know Layla or that she’s a hunter when they arrive to work the same case. An intense case fic with a whodunit, a comedy of errors, lots of fights and probably eventual romance. This is only the beginning.

Summary
The rules are pretty simple.
Whoever's birthday it is gets whatever they want, no questions asked.
A bi-annual sex treaty.
It's the perfect answer to getting rid of all of that pent up angst, leftover desire and sexual frustration they feel for each other. And seriously, it'll be fine. There's no way anyone can be manipulated or end up with their feelings hurt or anything like that. Granted, friends-with-benefits has a bad rep, but how could this possibly go wrong?
They've got it all planned out.

Summary
It's been three years ever since Mark dropped out of high school, his whole body covered in grotesque clusters of ensanguished bruises, tender scars, and a few, slightly fractured ribs as he moved away to a new district when he knew he lost the wayward protection of violence and didn't belong anywhere anymore. He's been going through the motions of life, basking in the fleeting warmth of the bookstore he works at before inevitable solitude accompanies him like invisible ghosts and insomnia wraps its tendrils around his neck.
That is, until he reunites with the boy he betrayed three years ago, only to discover that he is no longer the same person he was before. Maybe.
Mark doesn't really believe in fate. But he does believe in forgiveness.

Bookmarker's Notes
She thinks of saying, "I used to know this kid, my next door neighbor till we moved, he had this giant stuffed tiger, like, as big as he was. It seriously was like he had a daemon, he took it everywhere with him."
But she never has been in the habit of speaking about Calvin. When she still lived next door to him and they went to school together, she didn't want to get associated with his weirdness in people's minds. And then after the divorce when she and her mom moved out--she told stories about Calvin once or twice at her new school, because they were good stories, her parents' reactions on snowy days to his snowman extravaganzas and Mrs. W.'s face when Calvin had worn a cape to school and the time he'd thrown a snowball at her in the middle of summer and missed. But it felt too much like she was inviting people to laugh at the kid who'd bought her a bike horn for her sixth birthday party and helped her out of a puddle once when that asshole Moe had pushed her down, and so she'd stopped.
This manages to impose realism on Watterson and not blight it. I need to read this about a million times and figure out how the author does it, because realism + Watterson should be a recipe for disaster, and yet it is not.

Bookmarker's Notes
Useful examination of Sherlock's mental health. As in life, the ups are infrequent and fabulous, the downs are horrible. Bipolar disorder isn't romantic, but it does provide moments like this:
Above them spring-fresh sky is wheeling, dancing, the clouds themselves reshaping with Sherlock’s thought as the facts of the case slot together in his head. Poison administered through the skin, so ingenious, but not beyond Sherlock’s detection… and the physical world itself acknowledges and applauds. This London alley with its condoms, gum stains, boot-scarred doors, a single dull shuffling pedestrian, is at one with the most exultant music – he will play that music later, on his violin – its bliss filtering into the crannies of the world.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is a modern novel, with all the post-Return feelings – including a grief support group, jealousy, and pain. The John/Sherlock relationship, while inevitable, is not an easy journey. Both our heroes have learned a little during the hiatus, useful and not. It's work, like a real relationship. Also funny, plus a case, Mary Morstan not a baddie, and Sherlock Skyping! And quite a lot of porn.
begin quote “I told you I'd never come with someone else,” he continued, and slid his long fingers through John's hair as he spoke. “Cocaine is good for stamina but generally bad for orgasms.”John shook his head against Sherlock's chest. “God, Sherlock,” he said.
Sherlock laughed a little, small, not joyful. “Leave him out of it,” he murmured, “there's no room here for useless fictions.” His fingers in John's hair tugged gently at his head until John tipped it back and they were looking at each other again. “It's over, John. That place, that... it's over,” Sherlock said.
John swallowed thickly. “I want you,” he said, without thinking is-this-all-right, without wondering, without uncertainty, because it was there in Sherlock's face, so obvious, so easily read, so undiluted – and he needed to let Sherlock know it was reciprocated just as strongly.
“Good,” Sherlock whispered, and kissed John with a harshness that immediately had his cock responding; a bit messy and unrefined, a tangle of tongues and the scrape of teeth.
[... snip ...]
“Right, okay,” John muttered into Sherlock's mouth, wrapping his hands around the seeming fragility of the lines of neck that supported the universe inside Sherlock's skull and pushing upward into that hollow where it began, where the hesitancy of skin became the certainty of bone, softened by falling curls.“A bit more enthusiasm wouldn't be out of place, John,” Sherlock quipped, mouth still smiling.
“Oh, Sherlock, yes,” John corrected himself, and though the words were playful with exaggerated breathiness, they were quite truthful, more than quite, more than truthful, empty of untruth, there was some truth left in the universe, and it was that Sherlock pressed their mouths together securely again, with a play of the tip of his tongue over the roof of John's mouth, as though testing that there weren't any words hiding there. quote ends

Bookmarker's Notes
htebazytook is due a commission from TfL's marketing department for sexiest deployment of underground transport. Excellent exploration of John and Sherlock's emotions, and their inability to share them with each other (which in no way interferes with their sexual hijinks). Also some plainly beautiful writing:
He could take a taxi, and there are plenty that pass him by, but he'd much rather walk as taking taxis felt a bit like cheating when he didn't have the excuse of his leg or Sherlock's impatience to justify it. The early spring air is icy and refreshing and helps to clear his mind. His jacket isn't nearly insulated enough, but he takes lovely simple pleasures in pulling it tighter around himself and feeling the way his body heat slowly warms him up, having to navigate the whirlwind swarm of pedestrians and cars, the soothing dimness of the day under overcast skies, the morphing landscape of Medieval vs glass vs clean white stone.

Sebastian may not be as bulked up as Chris, but there wasn't an ounce of fat anywhere on him. He was all lean muscle and sculpted abs, and the trail of dark hair starting from his chest and disappearing into the waistband of his jeans was making Chris' tongue dry.
"If the rest of you looks remotely this good, we may not ever leave the bed," he commented.
Sebastian just spread his arms and raised an eyebrow in challenge. "Only one way to find out."
"Hot as sin and a total smartass," Chris said, and dropped his hands to Sebastian's zipper. "I gotta say, I have excellent taste."
