    Summary

    The slate tiles of the roof are growing slick with rain. Sherlock could so easily slip, perched up here like an awkward gargoyle. He could lose his footing in his leather-soled Italian loafers and go cartwheeling into the dark.

    He could. He could.

    He’s poking gingerly around the edges of that thought, like a tongue probing a sore tooth, when he first hears it: a grinding, warbling noise that somehow makes his teeth vibrate. He knows about this sound, of course, you don’t have a sibling who basically runs England without knowing about this, but this is the first time he’s hearing it for himself.

    Summary

    Sherlock looked at his watch. “Eight minutes to midnight,” he said.

    “Eight minutes,” John scoffed, shaking his head at the ridiculousness of that.

    Eight minutes was enough time to fall in love. And eight minutes was enough time to break a heart. No amount of time could change those two things, never those.

     

    When John Watson is recruited by a mysterious stranger, he has no idea that his life is about to be altered for all time.

    Summary

    Shredding metalcore sets and bar fighting? Easy. Getting his shit together is another story.

    Watsons aren’t weak. Broke as shit maybe, but they’ll be damned if they’re not the definition of an English stiff upper lip. When John’s dad dies in combat, he knows he can't fall apart. His mum has God. Harry has a band and an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. But him? He’s got anxiety and a whole lot of anger issues.
    John needs an education if anyone’s going to see him as more than a kid from the Meadows, but he's not scared attending Conan. Watsons don't feel fear, which is a damn good thing when your roommate is Sherlock Holmes.

    Sherlock has a siren singing in his blood more powerful than his hunger for solving crimes. He knows nobody likes him. Nobody except John who calls him “amazing” and takes a bullet to foil a bank robbery. The people close to Sherlock are always disappearing or taking bribes from the British government, but what’s he supposed to do when a boy with everything to gain by selling out tells Mycroft to piss off instead?

    John isn’t supposed to have a weakness.
    Sherlock isn’t supposed to have a heart.
    “Supposed to” is about to get wrecked.
