Summary
“Surely my use of the word ‘partner’ was a rather large clue, brother mine?” Once again, Mycroft’s words are softly delivered but his growing irritation at Sherlock’s distracted attention shows in the minuscule downturn of his mouth. “You go as part of a couple; romantic, of course.” Mycroft sneers slightly at the concept before continuing. “You are relatively famous, that should be enough to entice someone into spending time with you. Surely some pretty young thing will be eager to spend time with the famous Sherlock Holmes and his infamous temperament; it will only be for four days, after all.” He has chosen his words with care, knowing they will get a rise from his brother and sure enough ….
“Pretty young thing!” Sherlock spits, his pale eyes suddenly blazing, full attention finally on his brother. “I don’t want some insipid person fluttering their eyelashes at me and simpering at my every word! What I want….” Sherlock trails off, aware that he has already said too much.
“Indeed.” Mycroft raises an eyebrow and leans forward once more in his chair, hands templed, an unconscious echo of Sherlock’s favoured pose. “Then ask him.”

Summary
Doctor John Watson is a freshly Emerged Sentinel but no one can know. He lives in fear that he will be forced into government service, made to work for the Tower, and paired with a Guide of their choosing. For John this is a fate that must be avoided at all costs, he's willing to do anything he has to prevent it. Just as things seem to be getting worse John meets Sherlock Holmes, a Guide with no taste for government Sentinels. It seems like a match made in heaven except that John isn't gay and Sherlock has no interest in relationships but what are the boys going to do? Let the Tower take them?

Sherlock just wanted John to know that he isn't dead.
It doesn't go as he expected.
That's mostly a good thing. -

Summary
“People would talk,” he tries, repurposing an old line, a shortcut to a recurring theme in their lives.
“They do little else.” John dutifully completes the circuit with a sigh. “Sherlock,” he continues haltingly, eyes falling back to his hands as he considers his words. “Would they be wrong, though, really?”
