[Elementary] the precipitate (Joan & Sherlock gen)
Title: the precipitate
Fandom: Elementary
Length: 218
Prompt: three sentence ficathon: Elementary, fem!Sherlock/Joan, sweet
Pairing: Joan & fem!Sherlock gen
Other: Genderbend AU per prompt.
Excerpt: She makes spaghetti and serves it to Joan in a chipped mug, leaning over Joan's shoulder and resting her chin there as they study a case file.
Former addicts are never sweet, and Sherlock does not surprise Joan by being an exception to the rule - she is lean, scruffy-haired, covered in tattoos, exactly the kind of person you'd expect to be a junkie, if you were judgmental and not someone with a lot of experience in the area, like Joan (Joan has been with people who'd forego food for a nice manicure, and carefully hid the needle tracks between their toes; she isn't surprised by any client anymore).
Sherlock does surprise her by being utterly brilliant, an astonishing detective whose gaze fires up at the thought of a case that only she can solve; Joan thinks that Sherlock is addictive, and Joan finds herself following right along, weathering the daddy issues, the defiant opposition to housework, Sherlock's habit of stealing Joan's clothes whenever she doesn't want to take time for the laundromat, the way that Sherlock presses and pushes and demands to be judged only on the strength of her mind.
She makes spaghetti and serves it to Joan in a chipped mug, leaning over Joan's shoulder and resting her chin there as they study a case file, and the light in her eyes is the most brilliant thing Joan has ever seen - it's blinding, and finally, Joan is learning to really see.
