TheBookshelfDwellerhide bio
 Author has written 20 stories for Sherlock, and Hobbit. Hello visitors of this profile and the esteemed population of FanFiction.net! What can I say about myself that might be of any interest to you? Well, I'm a mixture of both idiosyncrasies and commonalities, with just a touch of paradox thrown into the concoction. As my penname suggests I prefer bookshelfs, where I can sneak in and out of storyworlds to my heart's content, as a place of residence. I've fallen in love with books, stories, and ficitional worlds and their inhabitants more times that I have with actual people. I am a great believer in being thirlled by beauty whenever and wherever possible, as well as being aware of the very subjective nature of the term. Seeing as this is, afterall, a profile intented for publication of written work, I consider this quote to be an apt reflection of the way I view my relationship with all things put in letters: “I read the way a person might swim, to save his or her life. I wrote that way too.” ― Mary Oliver, Wild Geese All that's left to say is that I hope you enjoy whatever you might stumble upon in here! If anyone prefers reading over at AO3, you can find me there, as well, (how omnipresent of me) - same name, same stories :) |

Half-Life by Fillyjonk reviews
Post-Reichenbach, John POV. Angst. Sadness. Full of love, but the only reason to keep the kiddies away is the emotional trauma they experienced watching the last 20 minutes of "The Reichenbach Fall." I have no Britpickers, and would be delighted to be told if I've made any silly American errors here. Trying to save the fandom from awkward constructions, and all that.

Lay Me Down (In Lo-Debar) by JGRhodes reviews
It is a blessing and a curse, this place, but John can't help but be grateful for it when Sherlock lays him down and lays him open; takes him apart and puts him back together like so many cadavers.

Tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us reviews
It's a kiss. Then it's two, then a few more, and then several beyond the count. Then it's clothes-stripping, up-the-stairs-fumbling, a quasi-three-legged-racing, blind-bed-finding. Then it's sex. But it's also more. It is also this.

To Build a Home reviews
"There is a buzz, somewhere deep in my foundations, as the cobwebs are unsettled – I have visitors, and what a curious pair, at that. I stir, softly, and greet them – who knows, this might come to something. [...] At times, there are people searching through me, making a mess. They find things, material possessions, but I never let them find the most important of things."

Things We Grew Back from Ashes and Mud reviews
It's a new world, one that will be harder to destroy. Not because it is indestructible, nor because there won't be challenges – oh, there will be (John wouldn't have it any other way) – but because this time John knows, as does Sherlock, that, if handled with care, they allow each other to thrive. They aren't each other's doom. They are each other's greenhouse effect.

Inevitable (Love turns 133) reviews
There are many variables regarding the 29th of January, but there is only one thing that is absolutely constant about it. It's a day of a meeting. Their meeting.

Things We Lost to the Flood reviews
'Sounds of water surround them – dripping of pent-up condensation, gurgling of the irrigation system, wet sounds of bodies shifting in soaked clothes – and it feels as if they are submerged, weightlessly suspended in a medium denser than air. [...] they might be drowning, but they can't seem to find it in them to mind, to care.' Part 2 of the Greenhouse Effect series.

Things We Lost to the Fire reviews
'When familiarity of what they are, the delicate balance of similarities and differences, their symbiosis, turn into ashes in wake of a toxic conflagration, it happens like all other beginnings/endings/meetings/goodbyes/creation/destruction - completely by accident, or maybe, completely by design.' It's a world of words unspoken, 'what if'-s unvoiced, one that, eventually, ends.

Love in Superlatives reviews
'One might love you in so many ways – which is not to say one should love you at all.' There are people who are easy to love. Sherlock Holmes is not one of those people. There are people who love easily. When it comes to Sherlock Holmes, John Watson is one of those people. Whether that is a smart idea, is another matter completely.

Perpetuum Mobile reviews
"Every story has a beginning and an ending, right? Not this one. This story is different. It's a story about clocks and chemistry and caring, about exhilarating horizontal falls. It's their story." When a fresh batch of brilliant murders occurs, Sherlock and John have to re-examine their relationship, as they battle ticking clocks. What will become of them? Who will win the battle?

Loud As The Universe reviews
Noise is constant in this universe of theirs, alternating between a low-pitch buzz and roaring clamour. There is always heat – without it there would be no life. It spikes and falls, from petulant chills to passionate blazes, it shifts and turns and morphs, as do they. Every emotion has a wavelength and a temperature if its own. Every shift of soul sends a sound through the vacuum.

What A Tender World That Would Be reviews
When Sherlock returns, there are explanations to be given, understandings to be proven, changes to be accepted. In the end, things might seem to go in circles, but every time the cycle repeates they find themselves standing in a place very similar, but slightly altered. Because change is inevitable, the world allows for no exceptions. If it did, what a tender world that would be.

An Anatomically Accurate Analogy reviews
"The analogy I hear most when people talk about us is that we are like the brain and the heart. However, the reason why I think it is an apt simile is not the same reason most people have in mind." By now, John Watson and Sherlock Holmes have virtually become synonymous with the two organs so indispensible for living. This is a different take on the reason why this is so.
