    Summary

    Essek has barely begun to cement his place in Caleb’s life when they bring Mollymauk Tealeaf back from the dead. Slowly, the three of them adapt together.


    He would have scoffed at this, once upon a time. But now he kisses Caleb with something close to reckless abandon, breaking boundaries between the three of them again as Caleb has Mollymauk pinned to the bed, and Essek is leaning over him to kiss their wizard in question.

    The three of them are well and truly connected. Light, he should be uncertain, but he is not.

    Summary

    The screams all sound the same

    When John Watson returns from Afghanistan, nothing is the same. His mother is dead, his sister is addicted to alcohol, his father is at the end of his rope and he is in the middle of it. That's why his psychiatrist sends him to a clinic where he is supposed to learn how to deal with his trauma.

    His roommate there behaves strangely. He is emotionless, never smiles and moves strangely. And he doesn't speak. No one knows what is wrong with him.

    John tries to blend in at the clinic. He doesn't want to give his panic attacks another chance to surface.
    But then a murder happens and Sherlock comes to life.

    Summary

    John is so deeply integrated into the work, both as my conductor of light, and as a great shot with a vicious right hook who tackles men -and women- no matter their size all in my defense. He protects me with all he can without question, and this loyalty is surely more than I deserve.

    Summary

    In the months following Sherlock’s fall, it seems that John has begun to lose himself completely.

     
    Perhaps it’s wishful thinking. Delusion. An unwillingness to let go of the person he was when he was with Sherlock Holmes.

    Either way, it’s the only thing he’s got left to live for, and he isn’t ready to let go of it just yet.
