    Summary

    Sherlock thinks everyone would be better off if he had never existed, including and especially himself. When he finds himself in a world in which his wish has been granted, he begins to think perhaps even he could be wrong – but it takes an unlikely chaperone to make him not only observe, but understand.

    Summary

    Sherlock Holmes was believed by most to have died by jumping to his death. A few people, Mycroft Holmes included believed he died in somewhere in Serbia, tortured to death, though his body was never found. Sherlock Holmes himself doesn't believe either of the above, obviously.

    After being extensively tortured in Serbia, he suffered a traumatic brain injury that left him with amnesia, and deafness. But the doctors say that the deafness is psychological in nature. It doesn't matter much to him. All he knows is that his name is William, and that he was once (and it seems he always will be) in love with a man by the name of John Watson.

    John has suffered much in the last eight years. Losing his best friend to suicide, marrying and then later being divorced by his wife, battling for joint custody of his child, and generally trying to forge ahead and figure out what the seemingly bleak future holds in store for him. But what he could never expect is Sherlock's sudden return. Nor the man's conviction that once upon a time they were madly in love.

    Edit11/26/25 I need to reread this whole work, but rest assured that this is not abandoned. If I had to guess, it will be about a month or two.

    Summary

    Somebody is systematically killing veterans in London. Sherlock is on the case, but he's definitely not worried. John will be fine. Even if he doesn't seem fine.

    Set in 2010, sometime between TGG and aSiB but firmly in the vibe of Season 1.

    Summary

    Sherlock has been gone for two years and John Watson is doing okay. He goes to work. He sleeps (sometimes). He eats. He has colleagues, some of whom are even friends. He has purpose. If it's not a life as others might view it, it's a fair approximation. It's fine. He's fine.

    One night the lights go out and when they come back on everything is the same except for one important thing. For John it's the most important thing.

    And suddenly John is not fine at all.

    Summary

    John can't help noticing that Sherlock has gotten decidedly more 'handsy' over the period of time they've known one another, and he wonders whether this might mean something and Sherlock is simply too shy to come out and say it. But, Sherlock, shy? No, that's surely a foolish idea, isn't it?

    Summary

    When John Watson returned to Camelot after a long absence, he made three vows.

    The first of these, to turn his face from violence, he broke almost immediately. Mere days after re-entering the kingdom, he found himself standing once more over a dead body.

    'It was a cold, dreary day when I came upon Sherlock Holmes in the blackest of his black moods I had ever seen him in.'

    Sherlock Holmes receives a letter from none other than his eldest brother, a brother Watson has never met. A few simple deductions, and they're off--the game, as they say, is afoot.

    Summary

    Two years ago, Sherlock Holmes jumped off the roof of New London Hospital. Two months ago, he walked into John's clinic as if no time had passed at all.
    John hasn't seen him since.
    But then Sherlock knocks on John's door with a case he can't say no to, and while figuring out why the biggest manufacturer or synthetic limbs in the System is going after veterans, they also need to find out whether there's a way to fix what's broken between them.
