    Summary

    Sherlock is a consulting detective, but more than that, he's a vampire. Secretly, of course. Humans and monsters co-exist, but it's not exactly a harmonious relationship just yet. It's easier to keep his identity hidden from the public and save himself and the police all the controversy. A few trusted individuals on the force know the truth, and Sherlock leaves it to them to smooth it over when people ask questions about his distant involvement.

    John is a human doctor. Back when tensions between monsters and humans were higher than they are now, John was discharged from military service for treating a monster's wounds, which humans were not supposed to do. There's still controversy surrounding the whole situation, but John continues to treat both. Even if his monster clients are usually under the table...

    John narrowly avoids being the next victim to the killer Sherlock is after, bringing them together. Sherlock's never been affected by a human until now; he can't decide if he wants to kill him or get closer to him, but all he knows is that he can't stay away from him even though he really, really needs to.

    Summary

    John thought the most he'd have to worry about now that Moriarty was dead was figuring out how to get a job without Sherlock getting him fired and the planning the bonding ceremony with Mummy Holmes. But it turns out Mummy's not so pleased about the choice her sons have made, and she has different plans: namely a slinky dominatrix and her partner. That, plus a brilliant and dangerous new case involving a famous blackmailer and having both his and Greg's families plus the Holmes around, makes John long for the days when the only thing he had to worry about was a psychopath.

    As of May 2014 this story has been put on permanent hiatus. It will not be completed.
