Summary
All of Scotland Yard stares. They make a strange sight indeed, a drunken doctor accompanied by a woman who looks exactly like his dead wife.
“John?” Lestrade manages incredulously. He takes in the woman- blonde hair, red coat, glittering white nails, heavy makeup, face partially covered by a mask. It’s flu season, he reasons.
“Les-lestrade,” John stutters with a silly grin. “I came here to tell you…tell you we won’t be needing cases anymore. Sherlock’s…gone.”
***
He hasn’t talked to Sherlock outside the bedroom since that first night. Today, though, when Sherlock painstakingly makes John’s favourite breakfast- eggs benedict- he smiles delightedly and kisses his cheek. “Thanks, Mary.”
The first sign of delusion.

Summary
“Never have I ever kissed someone of the same gender,” Lestrade says with A Look between him and John, and Sherlock is uncomfortably aware of eyes on him as Donovan and the desk sergeant drink.
(Sherlock is frankly surprised that Lestrade himself has never kissed a man, given his inordinate interest in Mycroft, of all people. Oh, God. Not a mental image he needed. He shudders. Delete.)
Take that, Lestrade. He hasn’t drunk and neither has-
“Fuck you, Greg,” John laughs, ruddy-cheeked. He drinks.
The ensuing beat of silence is the longest Sherlock has ever felt.
***
It's Christmas, and Sherlock and John are finally flatmates again after the tumultuous events of the previous year. But a sudden revelation about John's sexuality and James Sholto's unexpected presence throw a wrench into Sherlock's plans, and his jealousy threatens to overwhelm him even as John remains blithely oblivious. Their relationship has reached a turning point, and the ball is in John's court now.

Summary
“I have a proposition for you,” John said, and Sherlock’s traitorous heart sped up. Surely he didn’t mean-?
John refilled both their glasses, the slightest tremor in his hand betraying his anxiety, and Sherlock could scarcely breathe. Here they were, alone on a starlit terrace with roses on the table, and for the first time in his life, Sherlock was faced with a man he couldn’t deduce.
He hadn’t read the signs wrong, though. He couldn’t have.
“Will you solve a case for me?”
***
Disdainful of new money and determined to remain faithful to his work, Sherlock Holmes was not the sort of man to take on a case about a ghost. He also wasn’t the sort of man to impulsively share cocktails with his mysterious neighbour until five o’clock in the morning, yet here he was, barefoot on a terrace that wasn’t his and watching the sunrise with a man he’d only just met.
But could there be something sinister about John Watson, something less than benign about his obession with the green light on the dock? Could there be any stock in the rumour about the green-eyed ghost haunting his mansion?
And what did it say about Sherlock that he’d agreed immediately to move in with the man?
