Colors

Summary:

Everyone on earth is born with eyes that see in black, white, and an endless series of greys.

When you meet your soulmate, you finally see the world in color.

We're all searching for the person who brings color to our lives.

John and Sherlock are no exception.

Notes:

This fic was born when a bout of late night channel surfing reminded me how much I adored the movie Pleasantville.

And then that rediscovered love crashed headlong into the soft spot in my fangirl heart for soulmate AUs.

And my soulmate preoccupation was like "Hey, you got your premise in my guilty obsession!" and then Pleasantville was all "No, you got YOUR weird obsession mixed up with my clever premise!" And then this story just wouldn't leave me alone.

Special thanks to my ruthless beta for the brutal encouragement (you know who you are).

I do not own these characters, but I am shamelessly borrowing them.

Updating on Thursdays. Comments and feedback absolutely appreciated.

Note: I'm American and thus my spelling is predominantly that of this side of the pond. FYI.

Lovely, generous, talented and wonderful reader Abby sent me the most BEAUTIFUL cover for this fic. It's perfect and amazing and I am so very, very grateful. Since she wished to remain anonymous other than her first name, please join me in sending thanks to her via telepathy. THANK YOU ABBY!
