The Still Unnamed Sherstrade Fic

[anarfea]

I realized the reason I'm procrastinating writing this story is that I'm not sure where it begins. I know that I want Greg and Sherlock to have a pre-canon history, but I'm pretty sure I don't want the story to open with that. If it comes through at all It'll be in a flashback or just worked into conversation or whatever.

And there are things I want Greg's opinion on, like John beating the shit out of Sherlock in the hospital in S4, but I'm not sure if I want him seeing them as they happen or looking back.

Basically I just haven't decided if I want this fic to take place during S4 or post S4. And that makes a big difference.

That does make a big difference. Sometimes, the only way I can work those things out is to start writing it and see if it feels right. (The annoying thing is when itits wrong and you have to go back and change the tenses / POV / setting.)

I wrote a random sex scene I think is now going to be chapter 4. I outlined a bit. I think I'm going to set it during S4 rather than after.
