Summary
Mrs. Hudson has questions. "What happened again? You said John got hurt?"
"Yes. Long story, but an escaped convict with a knife." Sherlock leaves out the words dirty and contaminated. "He got in the way." He also leaves out the fact that John, in a moment of sheer idiocy had flung himself between the knife and Sherlock's chest. "Just a clean out, some antibiotics."
There is a pause, and Sherlock can almost feel the unrest coming through the line. "You're not telling me everything." After all this time, she sees. And sees.
Of course she does, Sherlock laments. There's no one around to see Sherlock roll his eyes, but he does it anyway.

Summary
“And once again, you think you know what’s best for me.”
John rises from the chair, the anger and frustration and hurt overwhelming him, bursting out of every pore, and he doesn’t even know for sure that it’s Sherlock he’s angry at, really, but the only reason he tied himself to Mary in the first place is because the person he really loved left him behind, and the woman he married once sat in the shadows above a darkened swimming pool and aimed a sniper rifle at his heart and later shot his best friend in cold blood and cuckolded him and just gave birth to a child that wasn’t his and right now he just can’t do this, he just fucking can’t do this anymore.
***
John has to somehow rebuild his life in the wake of Mary's betrayal and Sherlock's deceptions.

Summary
"Which child minder?" Sherlock asks with an air of suspicion. "Not the same one you used last Tuesday, I hope. Rosamund doesn't like that insufferable woman, and who could blame her? Imagine, thinking someone of Watson's intellect would be duped by cheap parlour tricks and tomfoolery."
"... Sherlock, it's peek-a-boo. Everybody plays peek-a-boo with babies."
After moving back into 221B with Rosie, John discovers that Sherlock has been hiding a chronic health condition caused by John's attack on him in the morgue. Together they navigate the fallout, becoming a family in the process.

Summary
He’s never had someone in his bed before. For a few days John’s scent will cling to the pillows, and when Sherlock goes to sleep he’ll be able to smell it, and he won’t feel so alone. Not that he has felt alone in a while, not since John came into his life, with his military-tight bed corners and scrambled eggs on Sunday. Spy-novels littered around in the living room, awful jumpers in the laundry hampers. Bits and pieces of John all over 221B, finding a place for themselves, stomping their presence on a space that once was little more than a flat, and is now (sort of, kind of) a home.
Five times they shared a bed platonically, and one time they didn't.

Summary
The letter had been nothing but grief wrapped in barbed wire. Every word a deflection, every sentence tipped with venom he didn’t mean. And Sherlock—bloody Sherlock—had taken it. Just taken it. Because he cared. Because, in that maddening, twisted way that was his alone, he loved John.
Loved him in the way that said, I can take it, hit me again. In the way that said, I’ll put a gun to my own brother’s head if it means you walk out of here alive.
It wasn’t right. It wasn’t healthy. John knew that. But knowing didn’t stop the part of him that… relished it. The part that was selfish enough to find comfort in it.
And now, to think that it might all be about to end—this strange, fragile life they’d built—it made something raw twist in his chest. It made him want to slam a fist into the nearest wall, shout until his voice broke.
Because despite every protest, every denial, every stubborn piece of posturing, John had finally understood something in the past year.
He loved him.
He loved Sherlock Holmes in every way a man could love another man.Bookmarked by ElySab005

This is my story of what happens after the last frame of the fourth season. There is a balance to be rebuilt, but perhaps it is not enough, because the anger that smolders under the surface is great and could lead to devastating consequences, or to a new life, which however is still far away.
