Ether's Library
An archive within an archive.
I wanted a place where I could collect (at least in terms of bookmarks) works that were completed that I wanted to stash away. You know, like you would treasured books in your own personal library. I know this isn't the intended use of the collection feature here on AO3 but it was the closest thing I could find on the site to fit what I was looking to do.
Every story selected to go here is very special to me either based on writing style or plot or characterization or AU or if I just found it mindbogglingly hot (*ahem*). Regardless I hope you might find something special here too like I did.
That being said, welcome to my library! Feel free to wander around or plop down in an oversized comfy chair and read. There's tea somewhere...I think.

Summary
At fifteen, Sherlock discovered the truth about the red pinprick in his left iris: he was marked by the punisher-god Kushiel, destined to receive pleasure and pain as one.
Intrigue and gossip swirl among the London-D’Angeline elite, and Sherlock, a modern-day courtesan, must follow the threads of a conspiracy that could topple governments, with the help of his sworn protector, John--a celibate warrior priest who sees Sherlock’s methods of devotion as utterly abhorrent.
As twenty-six, Sherlock must discover the depths of his devotion, and what sort of sacrifices one must make as the chosen avatar of a god.

Summary
“What are we, now?” John mused aloud, once they were in a cab heading back to Baker street. It was a cool, damp afternoon and Sherlock was studying the passers-by with detached interest. He glanced over at John with a raised eyebrow, his fingers idly worrying at one of the buttons on his coat.
“Nothing seems quite right. What would you call me, if somebody asked?” John waved a hand vaguely at the space between them. “What do we call… this?”
Sherlock stared at him for quite a while, his brow furrowed. John began to feel a little self conscious. The taxi lurched as they turned a sharp corner, and he flung out his arm to steady himself. Sherlock caught his wrist, and held tight.
“Everything.” Sherlock said quietly, and after a moment he let go and resumed his study of the streets outside. John barely even heard the words, he said them so softly. “Everything. That’s what you are.”
John stared at Sherlock’s profile against the cab window and exhaled slowly. After a long moment, he reached out and touched Sherlock’s long fingers where they were fiddling with the button on his coat. The tall man didn’t look around again, but his fingers slowly unfurled before curling deliberately around John’s hand.

Summary
“A list.” Sherlock held the pen over the paper, his eyes fixated on John’s mouth which was set in a frown. He was twenty-two, Sherlock discovered over dinner which Mrs Hudson had sent up from the Chinese place down the street. He was twenty-two and there was a list of things he’d never done.
“Sherlock, you honestly want me to make a list of things I’ve never done? You do realise that list could go on for… well for infinity, right?”
Sherlock crossed the room, paper in hand, and he shoved it into John’s palm. “Top then, John. Top ten. Top ten and we’ll do them all and I do not care what they are.”
