Synthesis chapter 10: Data

“Sherlock,” John says, “we have to talk about this. I can’t—well—we have to talk.”

IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME, MY FRIENDS. Thank you so much for your patience and kindness while I struggle along with this fic. Thank you to every single person who has left a comment, left kudos, poked me in chat to say they liked it. This would not be here without you.

Epic thanks also due to thisprettywren, Lacuna, and Lestradesexwife, for… oh, everything.  YOU ARE AMAZING.

In exchange for everyone’s patience, I’m not going to stick with the MWF schedule I had originally planned. Instead, I am going to post a chapter every day until there are no chapters left. There are five, including this one, so barring catastrophe, this story will be finished on Friday.

Hey, can we talk about mugenmine’s writing for a minute? She writes incredibly well-constructed, incredibly thoughtful kink (that generally isn’t about the kink at all). Switch is one of those things you’ll probably appreciate more if you’ve been following the series, but even if you haven’t, this story is full of trust and negotiation and understanding and just… love, all the way around.

Z:You look very pretty today.

me:I haven't even showered.

Z:No, I know, but... I mean I can't TELL you haven't showered.

Z:But your face looks nice.

me:What does--

Z:Not that it doesn't always look nice.

Z:It just looks especially nice today. It's doing a nice thing.

Z:Your face is always doing a nice thing. It's a nice face.

Z:...

Z:You're going to post this online, aren't you.

me:Oh hell yes.

Z:Tell them you're pretty.
