Inspired by - you guessed it - U2's "With or Without You" which found its way to my ears and heart as I was writing something else entirely.

Summary
“I’m going to New York,” he replied impatiently. “Do you not listen?”
“Sherlock, you’re ill,” Mycroft explained. I could hear what a strain it was to keep his voice level and low. “You are not thinking clearly.”
“Nonsense,” he retorted. “John, tell him.”In Doctor Watson’s dispatch box of unpublished writing, there is a stack that appears to be a combination of papers he wrote at different times—some of them were written during a very dark time in his life with Sherlock Holmes, and others after the event. The doctor himself explains that he felt compelled to record some of his thoughts instantly, while he was experiencing this event, and the other portions he wrote later to flesh out the story. He then apparently carefully assembled them to tell a single, chronological tale. Because of this, it is apparent that he wrote the earlier pieces before he and the detective were being openly demonstrative towards one another, and the later ones after.
The portions that he wrote during this heinous period are in pencil, which he explains, and those written later are in his familiar pen.
