Red Number Day

Title: Red Number Day
Author: PipMer
Fandom: Sherlock
Characters: John/Sherlock, Jim, Mycroft
Warning: R, slash
Length: Medium
Status: Completed


In a world where everybody has a set deathday, Sherlock Holmes is the only person who can see them. As with most talents, it's both a blessing and a curse. Because Death is a fixed point. Indelible, unchangeable, inevitable. It can't be altered, cheated or delayed.

Or can it?

Magic realism. Very similiar to This Thing All Things Devour. I liked Sherlock's desperation to understand, to bring about change. And then frustration.
