Summary
Together, John and Sherlock have quite a history, a journey, a life. The story begins post Season 4 (selective parts of it, anyway) and will move forward as they realise their desires and yearnings, as they make peace with where they have been - and where they are going.
Literal meaning: things that are desired, based on prosaic *Desiderata* by Max Ehrmann, written in 1929, encourages readers to live peacefully and honestly while staying grounded amid life's distractions. It advises maintaining dignity, avoiding bitterness, and appreciating the beauty in both the world and oneself. The poem ultimately offers a message of hope, resilience, and quiet strength.
The poem is included in its entirety is in chapter 1, with a correlating story. Subsequent chapters will incorporate a snippet of the piece.
The final chapter will include a bit of the backstory of the poem and Mr. Ehrmann's career.

Summary
Captain Watson to the rescue! Series compliant until beginning of Season 3 - then all bets are off. Sherlock, off in Serbia, has been captured and severely injured. Mycroft recruits John to aid with freeing him and then overseeing his recovery. The story begins in London but will explode in Serbia, slide into a European hospital and then tiptoe through a safe-house before returning to Baker Street.
Part of the Fandom Trumps Hate 2024 (my very first ever), in which I am humbled and amazed - thank you to all the bidders (gulp, I wasn't sure there'd be any, let alone more than one!) and especially to Podfixx for the highest bid, the donation to a worthy organization, and for the robust, thought-provoking prompt. I hope I will do it justice. Second chance bidder, thank you as well for the bid and for your patience!

Summary
Eight types of John Watsons that one very determined Sherlock Holmes tries to woo (aka date).
This story is not my fault.
A reader, to whom this story was gifted, put this comment in another one of my stories. The rest is crack history.
The comment in question:
John "Repression" Watson
John "I refuse to admit what I want" Watson
John "Punch you then date you" Watson
John "I'm a doctor, let me check your tonsils" Watson
John "I need to get laid so bad I imprint on people who knock me down" Watson
John "Grumpy Bad Ass" Watson
John "Come Closer So I Can Yell At You Properly, No, Closer. Closer" Watson
John "No, don't knock me down and then lie on me. Why would I want that. Um." WatsonCan't wait to see where this is going. :) Thanks for the chapter!
Again, this story is NOT MY FAULT.
