Beach Ficlets (1/?)

I've been a bit of a writing slump lately, so I asked for prompts and pairings on Tumblr. I received lots of inspiration in response, so I'm going to try to start writing some of these while I have a lovely blue ocean to stare out at and a fruity drink by my side. These will be short, unbeta'd, probably mostly porny, and will cover a variety of fandoms and pairings. I'll update the tags on AO3 as I go.

#1: Splinter
Fandom: Sherlock BBC
Pairing: Johnlock
Rated: Explicit
Length: 1500 words
Note: Prompt and pairing request by Snowytumble

FIC: The Hollow Now (4/?)

Title: The Hollow Now
Chapter 4/?
Author: Emma Grant
Pairings: John/Sherlock, John/Mary
Rating: Explicit
Summary: Almost two years after the events of HLV, John has an accident and loses all memory of the last four years of his life: meeting Mary, Sherlock returning, and everything since.
Length: 4200 words this chapter; 12,800 total so far
Warnings: none
Tags: amnesia, probably inaccurate science and medicine, baby Watson, infidelity, romance

Notes:

Written for Benedictcumberbatchruinedme, who bid on a fic from me for the Sherlock Committee Fic Auction for DashCon 2014. This story is based on her prompt.

Please be warned that this story takes a fairly sympathetic view of the character of Mary Morstan. If that doesn't work for you, I'd prefer you just not read rather than leave negative comments. Thanks in advance for your understanding.

This story plays fast and loose with the science regarding memory loss resulting from traumatic brain injury (TBI). No offense is intended. If I get something wrong and you can't overlook it for the sake of the plot, I'd prefer you email me privately to let me know (emmagrant01 at gmail

Huge thanks to drinkingcocoa for her thoughtful advice and commentary on earlier drafts of this chapter!

Really need to get my fandom mojo back.

Every time I go anywhere near Tumblr these days, I start to hear about wank, so I back off again. It's summer and I have a kid on my hands full time at the moment, so it's easy to just keep busy doing other things. And between

threepatch and

tumblr_refuge, I feel like I'm staying reasonably active in the fandom (and having fun while doing it).

But I have a Sherlock fic I really, really need to finish, and I have to figure out how to find the motivation to do it. It's set after HLV, so there is all of that to deal with, and wow. That's just hard right now. I'm not sure what I believe about Mary's backstory and where John's and Sherlock's heads are after that episode. (Not that I think everyone else is sure either, but man, that makes it complicated to work out the plot.) And when I start to think about the unpleasant comments I am bound to get on it (because no matter what you write, you're going to upset someone who doesn't know how to use the back button these days), it makes me want to forget the whole thing and go do something else.

But I can't, because it's being written for someone who paid a large amount of money for a fic from me in a fandom fundraiser, and this is the fic she wanted. And it's been a year and I really do need to get it done. I actually like the prompt a lot and think that if I can just get myself back to work on it, it will probably turn out to be something I will enjoy writing.

drinkingcocoa has seen a few chapters and has assured me that it's worth writing, and that it will turn out well.

BG will be in a day camp next week from 9-5 every day, and so I will have time to sit down and write. I just need the motivation to actually do it. Got any you can spare? :-P

Three Sherlock fics!

I've decided to just post my stuff at AO3 from now on. I finally realized that formatting a text file for two different platforms was kind if silly. :-P

So here are two fics I've written in the few weeks. Two contain spoilers for series 3 of Sherlock, so be warned.

Title: Sixteen and a Half Months
Creators: Emma Grant (author) and Bergamoth (artist)
Fanworks Involved: fic + art
Pairing: Sherlock/Molly
Summary: The world thinks Sherlock Holmes is dead, but Molly Hooper is one of the few who knows the truth.
Rating: Explicit
Spoilers: Very mild spoilers for series 3 of Sherlock based on the trailers that aired before January 1.
Length: 13,500 words
Warnings: none
Link: On AO3

Title: Orange
Author: Emma Grant
Pairing: John/Sherlock, John/Mary, heading toward John/Mary/Sherlock
Summary:

Set the morning after the wedding. John and Mary are leaving for their honeymoon, but they stop by 221B first.

Rating: M
Spoilers: For The Sign of Three
Length: 2600 words
Warnings: None
Notes: I am emotionally compromised. This is how I cope. Huge thanks to

drinkingcocoa for her quick and insightful commentary very late at night.
Link: On AO3

Title: Down
Author: Emma Grant
Pairing: Sherlock/Moriarty, background Sherlock/John
Summary:

Sherlock keeps Jim Moriarty in a freaking dungeon in his mind palace. What did they expect us to do with that?

Rating: Explicit
Spoilers: For series 3, His Last Vow in particular
Length: 1900 words
Contains: implied drug use, dubious consent, angst
Notes: I used

arianedevere's fantastic transcript of His Last Vow as a reference for this.

FIC: Interlude (Alternate and Missing Scenes for A Cure for Boredom) (1/4)

Title: Interlude (What Sherlock Doesn't Want John to Know)
Author: Emma Grant
Series: Alternate and Missing Scenes for A Cure for Boredom
Fandom/Pairings: Sherlock BBC; Sherlock/OMC
Rating: Explicit
Contains: bad BDSM practices, partner sharing, Sherlock/OMC, drug use
Length: 23,600 words
Summary: Prequel of sorts to A Cure for Boredom. Sherlock told John that he'd had a sexual encounter with a man a decade ago, and that it had been brief. But that was far from the truth. (Some dubious consent and bad BDSM practices here. This is not a happy, fluffy story overall, so if that's not your thing, you might want to skip this one.)
Notes: Huge thanks go to

drinkingcocoa for her endless support and feedback. She saw multiple drafts of this story over nine months and her insight made it far better than it might have been otherwise. Thanks also to the readers who have waited SO patiently for me to get back to work on this. I'm sorry it took so long!

Summary: After the events of TRF, Sherlock hides, and waits. Loosely based on Snow White (more the Disney version than the original).
Rating: M
Length: 5570 words
Warnings: There is one spoiler in here for series 3. If you've seen the spoilers, you'll recognize it when it comes up, and if you haven't, it probably won't stand out to you. But if you're absolutely avoiding all spoilers, you might want to skip this fic, just to be safe.
Notes:
-Written for challenge 2 of Letswritesherlock on Tumblr.
-There is a bit of dialogue taken directly from The Reichenbach Fall, excerpted from the transcript by

arianedevere.
-Huge thanks to

drinkingcocoa, whose insightful comments on earlier drafts were nothing short of brilliant.
-This fic is not written in my usual style: it's nonlinear and intentionally abstract in places, and is generally an experiment. Enjoy!
