A Study in Madder (Sherlock/Merlin--the shows, not the characters)

Here's the fic I wrote for crossovering. It was hard as hell to write, and I'm not sure it was worth it. But I've now posted more Sherlock fic to AO3 than SPN fic, so there's that.

You fretted for nothing. The story is lovely.

Nice reveal about John's powers! And that 3rd vow, hm, I think I know what it might be...

[ariadnes_string]

Yeah, I think that last vow might be more fun to break than the first two ;)

Thanks for reading it! I went back and forth about the magic, but then I watched the end of SiP again, and felt lie they needed a secret together, the way John's gun is secret.
