Summary
Somebody has been killing sheep on an uninhabited island just off the western coast of Ireland, and Sherlock—of course—can’t resist the call to investigate. As a soon-to-be-divorced John and a recently-not-dead Sherlock unravel the mystery of the murdered sheep, they find that they may be forced to confront unspoken sentiments that have lingered between the two them for some time—that is, if they don’t fall victim to the dangers of the island first.

Summary
An introspective journey through the life and relationships of Sherlock Holmes.
"I can hear the bones hum beneath pale and freckled skin, this sack that holds my form together. Bits and pieces that start at the bottom and end at the top, hiding the blood, muscle, fat. Cells, knit together, constantly in motion. They'll live and die, and replicate, until total equilibrium is met."

Summary
Dumbledore, when the man reaches the podium, shakes his hand. Harry watches him as he sits down beside the unfamiliar witch, who watches him with trepidation.
“…as I was saying, until further notice, the Quidditch Cup as you know it is cancelled,” Dumbledore says, voice sedate. “May I introduce Professors Moody and Potter, who will be working in conjunction with each other to cover both Defence Against the Dark Arts and the newly-revived History of Magic positions.”
