Sherlock BBC, John & or / any, crossdressing!John

It all started when John was nine years old. When Mum got sick. When everybody crept around the house with grave faces and he and Harry were told to Be Very Quiet and Not Disturb Your Mummy and Everything Will Be Okay, which always meant that everything was not okay and might never be okay again.

Things were okay. Mum did get better. But it took a long time, a very long time, and John was only nine years old and he didn't know how things would turn out and he thought that Mum was going to die. And he was scared.

Dad was too busy looking after Mum to reassure a worried nine-year-old boy. Everybody else was too busy telling him to Be Quiet and Play Nicely With Harry. Harry was fourteen. She didn't want to play with her little brother. She wanted to hang around with her friends, to experiment with make-up and style their hair and giggle about boys.

So John did too.

Harry and her friends loved him. Adored him. He was their toy. Cute baby John, their little pampered pet, cosseted and coddled and dressed up to the nines. They made him one of them. They put him in dresses and daubed his face with make-up and styled his hair as much as they could and giggled incessantly all the while.

And it made him feel better.

He wasn't scared when he was with Harry and her friends. He could relax. He could forget about everything that worried him. He could just switch his mind off and be completely happy, bundled up in a nice dress and made-up all pretty with his short hair curled.

It made him feel safe.

But then Mum got better. They gave her the operations that pulled her apart and then put her back together again like Humpty Dumpty. They stopped giving her the medicine that made her sick and her hair fall out, that made her look as pale and fragile as egg shells. They made her better again, human again. And they started to notice what John and Harry were doing.

Dad put a stop to it straight away. He didn't say much to John, but he took Harry into her bedroom and shouted at her so loudly that John put his hands over his ears and screwed his eyes shut to try to make it go away because Harry had just been trying to help him, she hadn't been trying to turn him into a sissy or make him gay or screw him up, she hadn't.

She'd just been trying to help.

John didn't play with Harry any more after that. She started going out with her friends instead, hanging around with older boys and girls and bumming bottles of cheap shitty vodka off them. Now it was John trying to look after her, to cover up for her, to make sure that Mum and Dad didn't wake up when she rolled in at two in the morning with her tights torn, drunk as a newt. And at the same time, he didn't want to let Dad down and now he knew how much Dad expected from him, what Dad didn't want him to be, it was just so hard.

It was stressful. And all John could think about was how good it felt to dress like a girl, how much it made him feel better when Mum was sick, how much it helped him relax and escape and become one with himself again. He wanted it. He needed it.

Ben 10 Ultimate Alien, Ben & Kevin, "I'm a teenaged boy, of course I've compared alien penises"

Leverage, team, At Hardison's insistence, the team steals the SOPA bill

Trying to fill this, but two questions:

1) I keep ending up involved in the technical aspects of SOPA (which I spent the better part of Black Out Day researching). So my question is: would you like the possible effects of SOPA explained, at the cost of brevity?

2) Is it okay if I set it up as the opposite of what you asked for, where Hardison initially intends to take on SOPA by himself (not a con, but a cyberheist or a direct attack), and the rest of the team have to give him the "we either have each other's backs or we don't" speech?
