The Middle Distance

This was my entry in the 2018 Wits On Tap challenge!

This is a fest where people remix other people's stories as poems. It's always, always great fun.

Full 2018 collection on AO3

I was assigned Alexxphoenix42's sexy, hilarious, Come Here Often?, a Johnlock-alternate-first-meeting story with bad pickup lines and sex in an alley.

I went at it through a pastiche of Allen Ginsberg's raunchy Please Master.

Sherlock/John, Sherlock POV, so very very explicit.

Please Mister (Come Here. Often.) (After Allen Ginsberg)

Please mister can I touch you, full of cheek
Please mister can I berail you with my awful lines
(I got that from a book. Everybody gets that from a book.)
Please mister can I tell you your beautiful body and will you hold it against me
Please mister will you look at my arse when I bend down to pick up the jaw I dropped because of you
Please mister will you shoot me dead with your eyes and shroud my corpse with your lashes
Please mister can I tell you what your mouth makes me dream of...
