Circle of Life

by storylover18

A story of John and Mary's married life. Please don't let the prospect of Mary scare you away. Yes, Sherlock and John's relationship will change but it will not dissolve - Sherlock will still be around! There will be lots of different scenes throughout the chapters. Rated K unless otherwise stated in chapter heading. Joy or sorrow, rain or shine-it's all part of the circle of life.

1. Introduction

Hello my fellow readers and writers!

This is, simply, and introduction to a series that I've obviously entitled Circle of Life that will revolve around John and Mary's life together as a married couple. Sherlock, no doubt, will make an appearance regularly given that John's John and Sherlock's Sherlock and no one could ever keep those two apart. Unfortunately, because this will be written chronologically, the chapters will need to be read in order to make sense.

I'll just get a few business matters out of the way here so I don't have to do it for every chapter.

1) I do not own Sherlock or any of the characters created by Canon Doyle/BBC/any other production company. However, the OC's that will eventually come up are my own creation.

2) I am deeply indebted to Cumberbatch Critter for her influence in these stories. Because this series is based on an RPG we've done, many of situations and Sherlock's responses are influenced by her ideas and creativity. Thank you so much, Summer!

Okay, I think that's it … wait. One more thing … because this series is going to be VERY long, I can't promise updates regularly but I will do my best! If it's been awhile, feel free to pester me for an update.

Oh! Another thing (and I promise this is the last one) … while the story is rated K, there may be some chapters that are pushed to a higher rating given the content but I'll put that at the top of the chapter should that be the case. But by and large, content is suitable for all readers.

I hope you enjoy Circle of Life and happy reading and writing!
