Title: The Wish, Fulfilled
Fandom: Sherlock (BBC)
Pairing: Sherlock/ John
Rating: PG-13
Words: 5098
Summary: A mysterious war journalist haunts John throughout his tour of duty in Afghanistan, urging him to return to London. He disappears soon after they strike up a romance, leaving John baffled—until he resurfaces unexpectedly in a lab at St Barts.

A/N: The basic premise is borrowed from the Twilight Zone episode “Little Boy Lost”. Essentially, five times Sherlock appeared to John and tried to dissuade him from the army, and one time he did the opposite.

( If John didn’t know any better, he’d almost believe Sherlock had evaporated like so much misted fog, a phantom in the night. )

Summary: It’s a question of limits, and a fine line that John treads in the struggle to balance his duties and his burgeoning affection for his flatmate. AU where John is a retired spy recruited for one final mission.

A/N: Title is both shamelessly borrowed from the Bond movie and an allusion to Sherlock’s jibe of Mycroft being a ‘queen’ in S2E01.

( “Your mission,” the voice states, “involves the infiltration of this man’s life.” )

( “Good lord,” John breathes. “Is that supposed to be a bedsheet it’s wearing?” )
