Preview: John’s grown up with the stories about Holmeswood Manor. They are certainly not going to keep him from interviewing for a residential post there because he cannot afford London on an army pension and there could not possibly be any truth to the tales.

Excerpt: He flitted across the moonbeams streaming through the windows. When I finally set myself in motion, he had stopped in the last pool of silvery light and was regarding me. There were no flames to colour him there; he was all pallor and darkness.

The room seemed inordinately long as I progressed through it, skirting the benches and pedestals and display cases that seemed to sprout in my path. I thought the shadows about him grew denser as I hastened forward and a fear that he might be swallowed by them before I reached his side gripped me.

He waited, as still and pale as the statues I had passed, except, as I drew near, I could see the pink bloom of his mouth.

Excerpt: “Nothing ever happens to me,” John said, meeting Ella’s detached gaze. He could look someone straight in the eye and not give away a thing. The skill had been as valuable in his career as when he played poker. His therapist glanced down to scratch at her notebook. She had perfected the same technique.

John looked beyond her. Outside the firmly closed windows, bare tree branches scratched at the pale grey page of the sky.

"Anymore," he added silently.

“Isn’t it Gray’s job to chase interlopers out of his territory?” John asked, his elbows spreading to either side along the mantel for support.

“Maybe that’s why it ran out the door,” Sherlock replied and sat down on the stairs.

(Also posted on AO3 in the May 2015 ACD_Holmesfest Collection and on LJ at acd_holmesfest.)

Excerpt: I turned from my consideration of the street to where Holmes lounged beside me. “You’ll let me see to that?” I asked. The flush of his exertions had faded from his cheeks, leaving the cut across one all the more livid in contrast.

He opened his eyes partway. “How much did you wager?”

Rating: R-ish
Word Count: ~9.5K
Warnings: None (although not Series 3-compliant)
Summary: A rather mundane case brings John and Sherlock to a castle. John finds the atmosphere stimulates his imagination. Sherlock takes note.
Prompts: Included: “…would prefer something leaning towards the fluffier/crackier end in this 'verse” and “feel free to ignore the season altogether and/or go with future fic” and “fluff, hurt/comfort, schmoop…magical realism…” Being thus liberated, I may have gone a bit wild.
A/N: Written for

rhuia for the June 2014 Holmestice Exchange. Many thanks to her for the great prompts and many thanks to my beta who wishes to remain anonymous. There is a prequel to this story, entitled Moats. (Please see end notes for photo source.)

kizzia's beautiful, evocative prompt, 'Faithful in Adversity', insisted that I think of John. From there, my brain went in an unexpected direction.

Excerpt: “You aren’t really in a position to make ultimatums, Doctor Watson,” Mycroft said.
“Apparently I am, because I’m making one."
