Title:  When the War Fires Fade
Author: snowdarkred 
Word Count:  ~7000
Pairings: Gen; Sherlock/John pre-slash
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Seriously.
Rating/Warnings: PG-13, magic!AU, violence, swearing, vampires that don't sparkle and are actually supposed to be somewhat scary, gratuitous descriptions
Author's Note: I. Had. SO MUCH. Fun. Writing this. I can't even begin to tell you, seriously. Okay, Sunshine is my favorite book and is pretty much the only current book dealing with vampires that I can stand. So it was only a matter of time before I wrote a fusion/inspired/crossover/thingamabob using it as a backdrop. And guess what? I did! But I would like to assure you that no knowledge of said amazing book is necessary to reading this, since I pretty much just adapted some of the mythology to my own ends. Um. Yeah. Anywho, my thanks to anruiukimi and shanachie_quill  for their encouragement and comments. You rock!

ATTENTION: munchinglunch made a podfic of this for help_japan! You can download it here.

Summary: The Wars turned the world on its head, and in that unrivaled chaos, John Watson was born with a rare gift. Sherlock, naturally, was born with an even rarer one. Years after the Wars end and the Others return to their dark lairs, two men are introduced by a well-meaning mutual acquaintance. And their world is upturned yet again.

( He didn't hear them coming. But then you didn't, did you, when they were vampires. )

1. It's amazing how much I hate driving. Seriously. I need to move to a city that has a proper metro system, which mine doesn't, because the county voted to not be a part of the network. :/

2. My psych professor thinks I'm...well-adjusted. We had to write a paper about our parents' parenting styles, etc, and I wrote mine, literally, an hour before it was due. I spent maybe thirty minutes on it, and I was glossing over a shit-ton of stuff, because, well. She's my psych prof, not my therapist, and I have zero interest into getting into some of the heavier crap with my instructor. But, yeah, she sent me an email and said that she thought I was amazingly well-adjusted, you know, considering. Because she obviously knows me well enough to tell that I handling being screwed over by life. *rolls eyes* But, I did get a 100% on the paper, so I'm willing to move on. :3

3. My Sherlock AU is growing in leaps and bounds, and yet my Inception bigbang is tottering on painfully slowly. I do not think I like this. Not at all. More fic news here.

4. Martin Freeman is awesome.

5. Weekend of Solitude coming up! I am stupidly excited about having thee says to myself. I'm not sure what that says about me.

6. I fool around with the Sherlock promo pic and put it up on dA, but I'm going to put here anyway, just because:


Sherlock and John, Halloween by ~snowdarkred on deviantART

Can you spot what's wrong/different with this picture? :D

ETA: ALSO, my Supernatural Season 5 DVDs yesterday! \o/ Finally! My mom promised to get them for me, like, six months ago. And they're here now!

SON OF ETA: ALSO, so there's this guy that sits next to me in psych (he's sitting next to me right now, actually) who is constantly staring at my laptop screen, and he sometimes comments and so on. Example: He just told me that had many tabs open. Seriously. NONE OF HIS BUSINESS. So I asked him, Why do you do that. He said, Do what? I said, Look at my screen. Why do you do that? He said, Oh, and then spent the next twenty minutes pointedly talking to the chick behind us. \o/ Success! :D

Okay, so yesterday sucked ass, and was shitty, and just quite frankly was full of all around fail. So I got off of work today and wrote this, which isn't particularly happy, but for some reason it makes me feel better? There's some kind of logic in that. Somewhere.

Author's Note: Thanks to shanachie_quill  for looking this over for me! You're awesome, babe. <3 This is so not what I was supposed to be working on....
