My story Table For Two just reached 10,000 hits!! Thanks, you guys!!! This is the sequel to a story (Table For One) that I originally wrote to a specific request involving John having an eating disorder and serious emotional instability issues. I wrote that one in the midst of the four months it took me to write Against the Rest of the World (specifically between chapters 13 and 14, if you want to know!), and since that one is all in first person voice with Sherlock, I had that rhythm in my head and couldn’t turn it off. I wrote both of those before series 3 aired, when the main genre of the Johnlock fandom was Reichenbach Return fics. By the time I wrote this sequel, series 3 had already aired and I knew that my story was out of sync with then-known canon, but I still felt it needed a sequel, and wrote this one. I actually vastly prefer the sequel to the original, which is so misery-laden. This one is all about Sherlock trying to learn how to care for someone, fully aware that he was behind the hurt which put John into this condition in the first place and now awkwardly trying his damnedest to remedy it, despite John’s prickly pride and stumbling recovery process. Mental illness + new relationship is shaky ground at best, and this was an attempt to begin navigating those waters for them in this particular situation/universe. 

Table For Two is the 35th of my 62 current stories to have made the 10,000 hit milestone. Thank you so much for reading it and for liking it.
