Sans Voir (master post)

When John finds out that Jefferson Hope, the taxi driver, did not have an aneurism, he fears that there might be a larger game afoot.  But who are the players?  And what is the prize?


Authors: goldvermilion87 & capt_facepalm 
Artists: sobota ( A Fanmix, as well as the gorgeous headers/section breaks)
zebra_three ( Four incredible illustrations, plus two very entertaining extras)
ruelynian ( A wonderful hand-drawn illustration. :-))

Author’s Notes:  This story was written for the casestory big bang challenge.  Some might call it AU.  Technically it is still perfectly canon compliant, and we tried to construct it so that it would stay that way, but Series 2 could easily make it AU.  Thank you to littlepippin76, med_cat, and especially labourslamp for their hard work beta-ing this monster.  :-)

Sherlock Fic: Commitment

Drabble for Challenge 006 at great_tales.

Commitment

John hesitated near the jeweler’s shop.  It was the second time in as many weeks that he had considered going in. 

He imagined Sherlock’s reaction to his purchase:  “One carat solitaire diamond.  Platinum band.  Dull.”

And maybe “dull” was right.  It would mean a new life.  No more risking everything to experience the thrill of the chase.  No more dropping everything to dash across London for a text.

His phone buzzed.

Development re: Randolph case.  Come to Barts immediately. -SH

John put his phone back into his pocket and started towards the hospital.

The ring would still be there tomorrow.
