Sherlock and John are already in a relationship when John gets deployed to Afghanistan anonymous January 1 2011, 18:09:11 UTC
So, there have been a lot of AU stories and a lot of playing around with Sherlock's and John's timeline. There have been some that dealt specifically with them meeting each other earlier than in the show and some that goes all the way back to them meeting as children. What never gets touched on, however, is what the two of them would have been like if they had met earlier and had to deal with the separation that John's chosen career would have forced on them.

Writer-anons, please show us how they would both have reacted to John's time-consuming commitments and inevitable deployment to Afghanistan. Sexytimes may be applied as needed.

A moment later John limped out and into his old apartment not locking the door behind him.

Sherlock quickly paid the cabbie and went for the door before John had the ability to remember that he should shut it.

Following an ex in a cab was one thing entirely, something anyone would find creepy and obsessive. But going into his ex’s flat, uninvited, was something even Mycroft might have trouble clearing up legally. As much as his brain was telling him to stop, he just couldn’t. He had to see John. It had been so long, he had to memorize every new line on his face, every new idiosyncrasy John had obtained while he was away.

Quietly as he could he stepped into the small hallway and moved to the left where John couldn’t see him from the living room. He had barely settled into his corner before he heard John.

He craned his neck to see John’s usual chair, but he wasn’t there. Sherlock finally set eyes on him in his chair ( ... )

He didn’t understand John, and at that moment he couldn’t understand his own feelings.

If Sherlock had really meant nothing to John why would all of his stuff be there? Why would he allow the clutter that he always hated so much to stick around?

He knew his old landlord had put all of those things in storage, in case he ever wanted to pick them up, so the flat itself had been cleared for new renters. John had bought all of those things off of the landlord, then set it up as it had been before he left England.

Was that it? He wanted to mentally return to a time before he went to war? Sherlock himself was inconsequential, but his things helped restore the order that once was.

No, that couldn’t be it. There was an answer that had been twisting around in the back of his head, but he never wanted to concentrate on it because he couldn’t stand it if it wasn’t true.

’John loves me.’No, he would have said something to Sherlock. He had years to talk to him; to just e-mail the word ‘sorry’ and all would have been forgiven. John stayed ( ... )

He took a step closer to John trying to see what he would do. John was looking down at the floor in front of him, but he didn’t jump at Sherlock’s movement. Sherlock took another step, then another and another, every time waiting to see if John would react, until he was in front of John who was still looking at the ground ( ... )

When John woke up he was holding something soft yet hard closely to him. Unclenching his fingers was hard work, they felt so numb he wasn’t sure he really let go until his palms were flat against what he was holding to him.

SherlockHis mind filled in for him. He opened his eyes, still puffy from crying apparently. He saw Sherlock’s shirt in front of him, the colour different because of the sun, it was either setting or rising he didn’t know how long he had been asleep ( ... )
