Summary:

John and Sherlock meet the first time during the summer of 1992 in Bournemouth - John is a lifeguard, earning money during his gap year before he goes to medical school. Sherlock has been dragged along on a final family holiday before he goes to Cambridge. They meet, and it's the most interesting thing that's happened to either of them the entire summer.

He’s a bit of an oddity, this beautiful boy with his bucketful of jellyfish, but John likes him immensely. Proud and defiant and brilliant. John grins at him and gently swirls a stick through the bucket of jellies, watching them pulse and float through the water.

“You’re not wrong. You’re amazing, in fact. I’m John Watson. Would you like to go, maybe get something to eat?”

The boy grins, a bright, lopsided smile that makes John’s heart skip a beat. “The name’s Sherlock Holmes. And I’d love to.”

Notes: There's a line of French dialogue in this fic that I attempted to speak in an appropriate French-Canadian accent. Any slight possible resemblance to an actual French-Canadian speaker is due entirely to cantarina's Skype coaching, for which I am extremely grateful.
Summary: Sidney looks from Flower's arm to their handcuffs to the little nest on the floor where he assumes Kris slept. There's a giant, empty champagne bottle on the table in front of the couch, he's pretty sure the same glitter that was on Kris's face is also on his jeans, and his head still aches.

"Okay," he says loudly, "I know I'm kind of stating the obvious here, but what the hell happened last night?"
