Summary
Captain John H. Watson returns home to England on a rainy Tuesday afternoon in May. The administrator processing his discharge papers pauses in surprise when she reaches the endowment section on his papers, and he just barely manages to keep from rolling his eyes. With the exception of medical professionals, endowment experts, or the rare few who bother to learn anything more than the basics of their own gift, people always assume that nothing unpleasant ever befalls a winder.
Not for longer than it takes to blink at least.
In a world where everyone is born with a gift, some things are meant to happen no matter what you do… they might just take a more circuitous route getting there.

Summary
To John’s complete bewilderment, Sherlock carries on behaving in his newly cagey manner over the next several weeks; clingy and tactile one minute and holed up in his bedroom for hours on end the next. John heavily suspects that it has something to do with Irene Adler’s sudden and un-spoken of departure. Whenever he attempts to broach the topic, however, Sherlock shuts it down immediately.
Even more curious is Sherlock’s frequent aborted attempts at… something.

Summary
“It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. ... It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.” ― Lemony Snicket
If anyone, Derek should be used to this; if it's even the kind of thing that you can get used to. But apparently it's not, and he's evidently reached his arbitrary limit for it, because he's finally losing his goddamn mind.
