"Why did I write? what sin to me unknown

Dipp'd me in ink, my parents', or my own?"
–Alexander Pope


It's a joy to come here and share my love of writing, reading, and various fandoms. I've met some amazing and talented people from all over the world, and have (I hope) grown as a writer myself through this association. I enjoy reading and writing fan fiction because it gives me an opportunity to linger longer in worlds created by others, worlds I've come to love, and I hope I do the creators of those worlds honor in my retelling.

My gen fiction focuses on one-shot character studies and explorations, and multi-chapter suppositional AUs (i.e. how would the characters and overall story change from the canon if one event or situation were changed?). When it comes to reading fan fiction, I prefer stories that are canon, canon-compliant, or, if AUs, are true to the spirit of the canon and the characters I have come to love. These are the sorts of stories I try to write myself, and this is why I only write for fandoms for which I have a deep love and some understanding.

I got my moniker, Fang's Fawn, from a very minor character in a VERY lovely book called Bridge of Birds by Barry Hughart. If you haven't read it, do!

The Empty Home by chai4anne reviews
Sherlock would always be haunted by memories of one particular case. The first body, its once-so-familiar features blurred by the passing of time and death, moved him more than he would ever have expected. But the worst was the skeleton he uncovered later, bits of hair and clothes still clinging to it—which had no effect on him whatever, until he looked up and saw John's face.

The Lessons of Life and How It's Rarely Fair by Cumberbatch Critter reviews
"John had initially stiffened at Sherlock's embrace, but even before a single second had gone by, he'd buried his face against Sherlock's chest and broke down sobbing. Sherlock pressed his lips into a thin line and tightened his hold on John, pulling him impossibly closer." Major character death, set shortly after His Last Vow. T for angst.

No Longer a Constant by Daebak reviews
There's only so much a man can take. When John finally breaks, after Sherlock, after Mary, after everything that's happened to him, he vanishes – a suitcase in his right hand, his baby daughter in his left. The three cleverest people in England haven't a clue where he's gone... until three long years pass by.

Not My Proudest Moment by charlock221 reviews

And A Doctor by StillWaters1 reviews
It was only when people actually saw John working as a physician that they began to understand: that it wasn't just about bullets and IEDs and trauma care under fire. That "doctor" actually covered a pretty wide field. And that John was bloody good at covering ground. 5 times Dr. Watson treated others and 1 time he treated himself.

Strong Swimmer by chappysmom reviews

"R" spent most of her life pretending to be someone else. "Mary Morstan" was just one more role…at first. A series of one-shots exploring how Mary came to be Mary. Potential spoilers for all episodes in which Amanda Abbington appears.

Good Show! reviews
Fourteen-year-old Mycroft Holmes enters himself and Redbeard in a junior handling class at a charity dog show being judged by a Home Office official he wants to impress. His little brother is NOT happy. What could possibly go wrong? Written before series 4 came out and jossed it. ;-)

Codicil reviews
This is a short, sort of companion piece to my story, "An Innocent Man." I strongly suggest you read that first. It's a canon-compliant one-shot scene that takes place between "The Hounds of Baskerville" and "The Reichenbach Fall." Further explanation inside. Not slash.

"And what about John Watson?" Sherlock had asked. He had expected a rather dull answer...after all, he had been away. He had not expected to hear that John had spent the past two years in prison. Series 3 AU. Not slash.

Sherlock may be the common denominator for Mrs. Hudson, Lestrade and Molly, but when a routine surgery briefly puts John out of commission, it becomes apparent that someone else is responsible for drawing them together. Takes place sometime during series 2.

Sherlock was initially jealous of Major James Sholto, but when the major opens his eyes to what exactly Sherlock means to John, Sherlock becomes frightened instead. Sherlock doesn't approve of collateral damage, either...at least, not if it involves John. Character study; spoilers for TSoT.

Post-Reichenbach. How does one heal a fractured friendship? John does not trust easily, and his trust, once lost, is almost impossible to recover. John would love to trust Sherlock again, but there's something he needs to know before that can happen – and he's willing to find out even at the cost of his own life.
