    Summary

    In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state.

     

     

    So, what happens, if Sherlock only came back after three years instead of two?
    What happens, if John is already married and has a daughter, by the time he’s back?
    What happens, when Sherlock realises the life he had, didn’t magically stop and wait for him, and the people around him moved on without him?

     

    And what role does his brother play in all of this?

    Summary

    Busy lawyer Sherlock Holmes is only home for the holidays to appease his mother. After Christmas, he is probably moving to Rome. Anywhere but back to London.

    Single-dad John Watson is just trying to get by. Taking care of a precocious six-year-old is not an easy job. He does not have time to be thinking about dating, no matter how often his mum texts him about it.

    In a Hallmark-esque holiday romance, Sherlock and John (literally) bump into one another and stubbornly refuse to admit their feelings for one another. This is an Alternate Universe that uses a lot of details and characters from BBC Sherlock canon, just in a slightly different situation.

    They're idiots in love. You get it.

    Summary

    The night after he adds a second bullet to his revolver, he meets Sherlock Holmes.

    John's heart is wrenched from his chest with cold, plying words. His body is laid bare, more naked than he was in the heat of the warmest Afghan nights. He feels wrung and laid out to die in a sandy ditch, the bullet wound flayed open under icy-blue eyes.

    “Dying to your own hand would be incredibly stupid, Watson,” Sherlock says, “If you’re going to die, let your heart do the killing.”

     

    or; John Watson's heart has never been his own; he’s given pieces of it to everyone, but none more than Sherlock Holmes—and he buries him with it.
