Hello dearies, Nele here!
(I know this message is long, but I advise reading it before actually reading the prologue.)
So I want to start off by saying I know that I'm in no place to be starting yet another fanfic, as I still have two others I have to update, and a third one I might do a rewrite of. But whether I update a story or not depends on how much I'm into that fandom at the moment. So for example, I'm not all that into Supernatural right now, so I can't update my Spn story. I'm in a writer's block for that fanfiction. Same for my Doctor Who fic. Right now I'm really into Sherlock, so here you have a Sherlock fanfiction! ;) (I hope you guys can sort of relate to this, or otherwise it might seem I'm a bit weird… Which I am, but still…)
If all goes well, I should be graduated from high school in about 3 weeks and a half. Then I have summer's holiday before I go to uni. That means I'll have two months in which I don't have any responsibilities, which means I'll have a lot of time to write. During that time all my fics should be fervently updated :)
So now about this story. It's an OC story, like all my fanfics are. The OC is the younger sister of our dearest Doctor Watson (yes, very original, I know) and the story will have a Moriarty/OC pairing, with (maybe) a bit of Mycroft/OC, not sure about that yet. The rating is M, just like my other fics, and also for the same reason: adult content. (Mainly smut, maybe a lemon.)
As you might have seen, one of the genres is humor. Though this fic (probably) won't turn out to be a crackfic, I'll try to add more humor to it than angst. Mainly because I'm getting a bit tired of angsty fics and think there is a need for fics with at least a bit of humor in them.
If you want information on the OC, I'm afraid you'll have to wait just a little bit longer. Right after I've posted the first chapter you will be able to find some basic information on my profile, like her name, age, birthday, looks etc.
Something I can tell you, is that she has a bit of a… strong personality. You'll see what I mean. I hope you'll give this story a chance though. Because of my own personality this story might not get updated regularly (just like my other fics tbh). I'm quite the procrastinator lol.
This chapter is just a prologue, so that's why it's not that long. Usually my chapters are around 5000 words, though I try to write longer ones. But sometimes a chapter is just done, you know? :)
The song at the beginning is a song that I think captures the essence of this story very well as well as the love that will grow between Jim and my OC. (You should definitely look it up as it is an awesome song by a great band!) It can be read from Jim's point of view as well as from my OC's POV.
And I want to apologize for any spelling or grammatical mistakes you might read in this story. This fic is unbeta'd, and English is not my first language.
One last thing before you can finally start reading the actual story, is the disclaimer. (If you read all this, I'll give you a virtual cookie!)
Disclaimer: I don't own Sherlock or its characters. Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss do. If I owned it, we probably wouldn't have to wait two whole years on three episodes. But sadly enough, I don't own the series. I only own my OC and any other things you don't recognize from the series.
So now that's done, you can start reading. I hope you enjoy!
Allons-y!
"Time Is Running Out"
~ Muse
I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
That you've created
You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction
You will be the death of me
You will be the death of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted
Now that you know I'm trapped sense of elation
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation
You will squeeze the life out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Oh
You will suck the life out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Oh

When I look back at the life I've had, I think I can say, "What a life". I think that's the best way to describe the life I've had. A lot of crazy things happened, and a lot of things I hadn't been expecting at all.
But I guess that's life in general. Unexpected things. You know, when life gives you lemons…
If I apply that expression to my life, I think I can say I've had a lot of lemons. And not the fanfiction ones, you dirty minded reader… No, I mean the ones that give you all kinds of misery, the ones that you really don't want to receive.
But sometimes, good things come forth out of those lemons. For instance, I met him. My soulmate, or however you want to call it.
It wasn't love at first sight though, that's why I said it was a lemon.
When both of us think back to the early days, the time we met, we both laugh. I mean, we were so ridiculous! Just keep on reading, you'll see what I mean…
No for real, we fought, we yelled, we argued, we tried to outsmart each other,… We did all sorts of stuff to sabotage the other.
But that all changed, of course.
I think he was the first one to fall in love. And I mean the real deal. Because before that, he already claimed he loved me, calling me his queen. But I knew that wasn't real. No, that was just plain possessiveness.
I didn't let him have me. Why should I have done that? He was the one to kidnap me after all. Why should I give him what he wants? Would you have done that? You better not. Not to a guy like him. I rather would have died.
But that was in the past of course, you should look at us now. I'm writing this at the desk while he is asleep on the bed behind me, the sheets barely covering his naked body.
I want to write my story down to share it with all of you readers out there. Because my story might not be the best, but if you decide to read it, you better get ready, because you're in for a hell of a ride.
So, let me know what you guys think! I know this is still short, but that's only because it's a prologue. The future chapters should be longer, like I already said.
And now I'm going to say something very important: I need you guys to review and let me know what you think. I know, you might not like authors asking/begging for reviews, but some of us (like me) are very insecure about their writing style, and will not feel okay with it if no one tells them what they think of their story. It doesn't have to be much, 1 word is already enough! And it doesn't take away too much time to give an author some feedback.
That being said, I hope you guys enjoyed it so far, and I hope to 'see' you again at the first chapter! ;)
