    Summary

    One brother held a gun on the other, and years of denial came crashing down around their ears. But reality is always more complex than fantasy, even for the brothers Holmes.

     

    The end of the line, but there was only one thing he wanted to know. "Tell me one last thing, brother. In this end, was it worth it to deny us what we wanted?"

    Summary

    They say that people who settle in such isolated, wild places cradled and battered by the sea are exceptionally at peace with themselves or running away from something. Sherlock certainly knows which one applies to him, but what about his reclusive neighbour John Watson?

    Summary

    Maybe he thinks that you only enjoy his company because of the Work, because of the way his dazzling intellect shines when he's in his element, but the truth is this: it is when he is at his most human, most bare, that you feel closest to him.

    Summary

    As if John and Sherlock don't have enough problems already (that whole Sherlock getting shot by Mary thing), now there's a cold case detective from Canada snooping around asking questions about Moriarty.

     

    Kate took her time, wanting to give him time to get settled. When she returned, John had cleared away the tea and Sherlock was sitting in the leather chair wearing sweat pants and a faded white t-shirt under a blue silk bathrobe.

     

    She didn’t know men still wore silk bathrobes.

     

    Thinner than his pictures, paler too. All cheekbones and unruly dark hair. Blue eyes dulled by the pain meds. Needs to shave. Bare feet. Holds one arm against his chest. Like he’s literally trying to hold himself together. Is he aware that he’s doing that?

He joins Sherlock on cases a couple times per week. It's a rhythm he can live with - just enough adrenaline highs to balance out the drudgery of a normal bloke's life.

    Summary

    “Please, John. Please come back.”

    “M’right here, Sherlock,” he mutters frowning, confused.

    Slipping into darkness, John is vaguely aware that Sherlock’s lightly rocking him back and forth.

    “Fight it, John.” His whisper is fierce and choked. “Come back to me.”

    In this s4 fixit, John must piece together the gaps in his altered memory if he and Sherlock are to face the terror that has plagued Sherlock since childhood. As they untangle the web, seven years of hidden love ignite.

    Summary

    The stakes are high for our doctors as they allow a BBC film crew into the operating room to document a brain tumour operation done with their celebrity patient awake during surgery.

    This story is a part of the "You Go To My Head" AU series, and makes sense best when read after the preceding parts.

    Thank you the wonderful Sandrina, without her this would be a mass of typos, bad grammar and confusion. I still take all responsibility for all the remaining mistakes.
