History FanFic / BakerSchoolBlitz

[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/661305/chapters/1206223 Baker School Blitz]] is a {{Series/Sherlock}} HighSchoolAU fanfiction written by Satine89, where John Watson, an older teenager with Social Anxiety Disorder, is sent to London's only boarding school equipped to offer support and psychological services to mentally unstable teenagers, Baker Boarding House. And despite every effort to acclimate and create a normal life for himself, [[YouCantFightFate John ends up in the social circle of the blunt scientific genius Sherlock Holmes]]. And somehow ends up being recruited for the boarding school's acapella singing group, which is basically a dumping ground for the school's biggest problem students, as overseen by Mr. Lestrade. The fic is on permanent hiatus.

* CatchPhrase: Jim calling people, things, or situations "ordinary". John [[VerbalTic picks it up slightly.]]

* DepravedHomosexual: Jim Moriarty. {{Justified}} in that he's a nymphomaniac and treats sex as a compulsion.

* AllGaysArePromiscuous: Jim definitely plays the trope straight, though his case is {{Justified}} by virtue of his severe nymphomania. [[spoiler: The only other explicitly non-heterosexual character, Sebastian, has only slept with Jim, and is now dealing with the consequences of falling for Jim.]]

* AnythingThatMoves: Jim's slept with every member of the acapella club except for John.

* NotGoodWithPeople: Just about every teenager in the fic - John has Social Anxiety Disorder, Anderson is an asshole, Jim can't control his baser impulses, Sherlock specializes in brutal honesty, and Moran can barely stand being around the group half of the time. Henry also counts, as he literally believes people are being possessed by hounds.

* TheSociopath / TheVamp: Jim is basically a walking time-bomb with those traits.

* AmbiguousDisorder: As in canon, Sherlock; Mycroft's condition hasn't been mentioned, either. [[BlatantLies Moran insists there's nothing wrong with him]], but John begins to doubt that the more he gets to know him.

* ArcWords:
--> '''Seb:''' ''He's my best friend.''

* BrutalHonesty: Sherlock edges out Jim as the worst offender.
* ButtMonkey: Anderson.

* ComedicSociopathy: '''Jim.'''
* CompanionCube: Mycroft and his umbrella.
