"Entirely Covered in Your Invisible Name" by wordstrings, read by fayjay | John/Sherlock | H/c, a part of the "An Act of Charity" series | In which John experiences surges of jealousy and protectiveness, Sherlock experiences terrifying levels of boredom and takes rather unwise measures to deal with same, and sanity is not notably in evidence. | ~16.000 words/1 hr. 56 min.
Wow, Sherlock is bat-shit insane in this one. And John? Actually, John isn't far off either. And yet, it's an amazing fic. Fantastic, really. Because John really is the only one who can keep Sherlock together and...there.
"Just what is it like in that tiny little mind of yours?" Sherlock asks, in the first truly dangerous tone John has ever heard him use when they're alone together. "Is it nice, having such a childish imagination? Being able to ignore any inconvenient fact you like, is that lovely, John, is it comfortable? I wonder, you see, because you appear to think that I can be bullied, which is a patently stupid mistake. You aren't leaving me. Do you know what would happen if you did? You would try to hide where you were headed and proceed to make a series of completely juvenile blunders, idiotic mistakes really, because you are ordinary, and then I would hunt you down and take you back, because I am not ordinary, I am incredible. And I own you. Don't you ever fucking think for a moment that you could just vanish into the ether and leave no trace of yourself, you haven't the means."
