    Summary

    “Perhaps I could help somehow?”  Sherlock offers hesitantly, needing to be able to do something, to solve something.

    “Find me a suitable girlfriend?”  John jokes bitterly.

    “I could do that.  I’m sure I could design an algorithm that uses data to find you the perfect date.”  Sherlock reaches for his notebook and pen, already scribbling down ideas, unaware of John staring incredulously at him.  At the sound of John’s mug thunking on the wooden table top Sherlock looks up, raising an eyebrow in query.

    “W..what?”  John crosses his arms and bites at the inside of his bottom lip, studying Sherlock intently before arriving at a decision.  “Oh, what the hell.  Go on then."

    Summary

    Injured in a mysterious shooting, Sherlock is sent to a safe house to recover while Mycroft tracks down his assailant. The house, hidden deep in the countryside, is old and drafty, and -- according to rumors -- haunted by a English solider wounded in World War 1. A series of strange events soon has Sherlock questioning his firm disbelief in the supernatural, past lives, and true love.

    Summary

    There’s a dog. It’s thin and dirty and trapped, the rope around its neck twisted viciously into a knot and then tied to the rail of the steps leading out of one of the buildings lining the alley. It’s an Irish Setter, John sees, and obviously a puppy, and it’s making low, keening growls in that back of its throat, teeth bared. Menacing, despite how tiny and scrawny it is.

    John” Sherlock says.

    Oh, hell.
