I'd love something about Sherlock&John's clothing barter system in this verse!
Bring on the "Sherlock wearing John's sweaters" fics!

So lovely. And I love how tricksy Sarah was :)

I liked this a lot - very amusing and well-written, and I could just see Sherlock making assumptions about why his clothes turned up with John's and assuming that they were implicitly agreeing to trade clothing. :)

But, please - ID tags, not dog-tags! John was in the British army, not the US.

Delightful! Thanks anon!

Awwww, boys. I loved Sherlock extrapolating one exchange on a cold walk and John's lack of protest into an accepted barter system, without bothering to inform John of the fact. Both of them geting that special, possessive little thrill from seeing their clothes on the other.

And John's freak-out about the dog-tags - besides his issues with not feeling worthy to wear them himself, that's (at least in the US) a serious declaration. I know several people who wear replicas of their loved ones' tags while they are separated by a deployment.

Well-characterised - I love the John!voice - lots of fun dialogue, quietly engrossing, and also ADORABLE. The happy ending is LOVELY!

I'm damn late to the party but I wanted to tell you that I have really enjoyed reading your little FF.

This was awesome. Followed a link from art on DeviantART. One of my better random clicks of the evening. Wonderful writing.

Oh. My. God, how absolutely adorable was this?!?!

“Can’t we belong to each other without being in a relationship?” Sherlock asks hesitantly.

I squeed so hard at this line because Sherlock is all hesitant and doesn't want to get his heart broken but he loves John soooo much, it just shows so well.

Lovely story! Thank you for sharing it with us!!!

Re: Barter System 11/11 - making an ebook version

[ithindiniel]

Hey Author!Anon, I just came back to re-read this wonderful story and was wondering if I could make a PDF/ebook version of it and putting it up for download at http://ithindiniel.tumblr.com/ebooks. I'd say you get full credit but since that's difficult in this case I'll just link to the kink meme? I hope you are still looking at the commets sometimes and see this!

Re: Barter System 11/11 - I made that ebook

[ithindiniel]

So, I went aheda and made PDF, ePub and Mobi versions of this fic and put it up at http://ithindiniel.tumblr.com/post/51810044830/barter-system.

I really hope you have nothing aginst it, Author!Anon, could you get in contact with me otherwise? I really don't want to do anything with this fic you don't like.

[brbsoulnomming]

Oh my gosh, I'm really happy I decided to repost this under my AO3 account and came back here to get the link!

Thank you so much for making those versions of this! I'm insanely flattered, and ridiculously glad that you enjoyed this that much. :D

Bravo! The Christmas party and the Sarah conversations were amazing, and also loved them getting outed by Lestrade and Anderson.
