John the Wanted Man (BBC)

[scarletfbl.livejournal.com]

I vaguely remember a story where John has been hiding who he is from everyone around him. I can't remember what his secret was - maybe he was an omega, or some other type of fugitive. Anyway, I remember him being a total BAMF and knowing all kinds of combat moves. There was a scene where his would-be captors cornered him in a grocery store, and people ended up helping him escape because John had been on the news and the public was rooting for him to get away.

Iirc, the story was never finished. Maybe the author left fandom? Does anyone know where I can find this story, or how I could get my hands on a copy?

Thanks!

ETA: It appeared to be Velvet Mace's The Chameleon, but it looks like it's not now, 10/14 chapters in. If anyone has any idea what story I'm talking about, please don't let the *found tag turn you off.

Actually, this sounds an awful lot like Secrets and Revelations (http://archiveofourown.org/works/548271) by Hisstah (http://archiveofourown.org/users/Hisstah/pseuds/Hisstah), which was finished. There's also a sequel called Consequences and Repercussions (http://archiveofourown.org/works/627322) and another story in the same vein called Latent (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1349131).

Actually, I think the story I'm looking for is Velvet Mace's Chameleon (mentioned in the notes of Hisstah's story). Thanks so much for helping me find it, and Hisstah's story!

I'm sure I know this one! But I can't find it. The one I'm thinking off had a chase scene that ended on battersea bridge and john was, prior to this, on a train hiding and he got off at clapham junction. (I grew up in the area and i felt sure the author knew the area well) It was a sentinel verse one and I think sherlock might have been out of the country.

That sounds super familiar! Hopefully someone will be able to go off of the clues you gave. I still haven't found the story. :(

This is a total shot in the dark, since I haven't read the fic, but it's Omega verse and a Sentinel fusion that does include a chase scene on a train with Clapham Junction, and it also mentions Battersea Bridge:

Latent (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1349131?view_full_work=true), also by Hisstah.

Edit: Oops, I didn't see that Latent had already been mentioned above, so this probably isn't it after all. Sorry!
