Crack: Trope!John searches the multiverse for his Trope!Sherlock

[anonymous]

Trope!John wakes up one morning only to discover that, thanks to some cosmic mix-up, he's got the wrong Trope!Sherlock. So John enters in & out of various fanfics/worlds to find his matching Trope!Sherlock. Sherlock/John, but 100% okay if there are other pairings in the various worlds John visits.

Thank you! So am I, ha.

John was still smiling when he opened his eyes again.

This isn’t too bad after all, he thought as he scanned the room for any distinguishing marks. More fun than I would have expected. Still, I’ll be glad to get home.

The room looked largely as he remembered it, and John couldn’t help hope rising in his chest as he stepped closer to check the bedside table. Oh. That was … odd. That was the book he’d been reading but it was covered in a fine layer of dust. Now that he looked, so was everything else in the room. The air smelt musty, as if the room had been locked up for months.

A horrible thought occurred to him. What if he’d come back to the right time but the wrong day? Or week or month or .. oh god. How long had he been gone?

John searched the room frantically but there was nothing with the date on it - no newspapers, no sign of his mobile or laptop. Fuck. He was so stupid, wasting time with all these imitation Sherlocks when the real one had been left here on his own without a single clue to tell him where John had gone

"Oh no!"

Oh, this is so brilliant! Much thanks. I don't think I'm gonna want this story to end.

Re: FILL: A Trope too Far(5/?)

[persiflager]

Thank you and you're welcome! It won't finish just yet because I'm going to be away for a couple of days, so next update will be on Monday.

Wow, this took a turn! :O

FILL: A Trope too Far(6/7)

[persiflager]

Consciousness washed over John, leaving him with a fiercely throbbing head and a dry, gummy mouth. He opened his eyes a crack. The living room rug danced in front of his eyes and he followed the familiar curves and swirls of the pattern, delaying the moment when he had to find out what was going on and deal with it

Yikes! Psycho!Sherlock is scary!

*shudders* That was creepy. In a good way.

Thank you!

I WAS EXPECTING THIS ONE. I kept waiting for it to happen ! I really hope to see the flip side of it too. Poor John.

Re: FILL: A Trope too Far(6/7)

Ah, I did originally have a dark!John world in mind but it came out way too dark. I couldn't find a way to write that in and then go back to being funny afterwards.

Re: FILL: A Trope too Far(6/7)

[tsubasafeathers]

ooohh...maybe add it in as a bonus anyways? It sounds really interesting what with your writing style (which I love;really sucks you into the fic).

FILL: A Trope too Far(7a/7)

[persiflager]

The bedroom in front of John looked and smelt exactly as it had when he left it. No more dust than usual, no whips, chains, dog bowls or doppelgangers. He crossed his fingers and went downstairs, where he found Sherlock eating the leftover Chinese from last night and reading a newspaper
